ne of the problems traveling outside of the Anglo-sphere is finding a church where the service is in English. Well, I guess it depends where you happen to find yourself, and there are certainly going to be some churches in the bigger cities that have services in English, the catch is not only being able to find them but also being able to get to them. … More Trinity International – Singing in French
It’s been a while since I’ve blogged about a place in my own country, and though it has been almost a year since I went to Perth, it probably won’t hurt for me to revisit one of the world’s most remote cities, in particular its famous port of Fremantle. … More Freezing in Freo
While I could write another post about my most recent trip to Singapore, the fact that this is the third time that I have been there in four years I will probably end up going over old ground again. However, at this stage I’ll simply mention that I arrived, had a bit of a wander around, and then prepared for my journey onward. … More Johor Bahru – Across the Straights
It’s been over a year and a half since I left this amazing city and have yet to actually write about it. Ironically, I happen to be sitting on a balcony in a guesthouse in Kuala Lumpar while I’m writing this, and I’ve also realised that I haven’t got around to writing about London yet … More Paris – Even the Trains are Romantic
Okay, I’ve already written a post about our trek to Bonn, which included the train ride down to Königswinter, however that post was simply a brief overview of our day trip, and in a way there is so much more to Königswinter, and Drachensburg, that it probably deserves a post of its own. … More Trek to the Dragon’s Mountain
The question arises as to whether there is actually a decent nightlife in Singapore. The first thing I should suggest is that while Singapore is heavily westernised, it is still very much an Asian country, so you are going to find that the nightlife tends to be more Sino and Malay focused than you would find elsewhere. … More Clarke Quay – Experience the Nightlife
Actually, Darling Harbour was named after Lieutenant-General Ralph Darling, who happened to be one of the governors of New South Wales, Actually, the person who gave the harbour the name happened to be Governor Darling himself, which sort of goes to show what he actually thought of himself (pretty highly I suspect). … More It’s a Harbour, Darling
I grew up with Lego, but then again who didn’t. Well, I guess it is hard to picture the Nintendo generation (otherwise known as the Millenials), to have had as much fun as I did when I was a kid, but the fact that we still find the shelves of our toy stores packed with the stuff, dedicated stores, theme parks, and now three movies, then I guess even all these years later it is still pretty popular. So, the question is probably, why, on a blog cataloguing my travels, have I decided to suddenly write a post on Lego? … More Wonders of the World – In Lego
I have already posted three posts on the Staedel on my other blog (which deals with everything but travel), but since it was a place that I visited on my journeys through Europe I felt that I should probably share my experiences here as well for those who don’t read (or know about) my other … More An Artistic Afternoon – The Staedel
The building in which the English Reformed Church in Amsterdam meets is one of those old style churches with a steeple, but the thing is that it is actually one of the oldest buildings in Amsterdam. The building itself dates back to around 1490, but there was a church on this site going back even earlier to 1390 but that one was apparently burnt down. … More A 17th Century Church
