Eat in the street! Let’s make it pozible.

One of my favourite things about Asia is the food. And anyone who has spent any time there will know the best place to eat – is on the street. The pozibility of bringing this phenomena to Australia is pretty exciting. When I first heard of the Street Food Australia (SFA) campaign, I immediately loved Read More

Who ya gonna call? – TOADBUSTERS!

Becoming a yes man/woman is part of a series of posts that will take a look at some of the things that we have said ‘YES’ to that we would normally have said ‘NO’. There aren’t many ghosts floating around Kununurra but you can be guaranteed to see a few cane toads knocking about that’s Read More

Taking the road well travelled

Travelling gives you the luxury of meeting new people. Before embarking on a trip, hope and pray you like the people you do meet because it’s not going to be the last you see of them. I don’t know if it is because we cling to our photocopied or otherwise ligit copies of Lonely Planet Read More

Siem Reap Sunset

Best bits in pics – Part 3

A street scene in Siem Reap in Cambodia. You never get sunsets like you do in SE Asia and this is an example of street life as the sun was setting. Lovely small town with great bars, cafes, restaurants and of course the Temples of Angkor. Conked out from the power cut, G tries to Read More

Best bits in pics – Part 2

This is wee Buddha bum. All the kids in Vietnam were cute (although after teaching them for four months I can also say slightly annoying at times too) but Buddha is one of my favourites. Everytime he ran into the water his shorts would fall down round his ankles… giving us a different type of Read More

The Secret Diary of a Call (Centre) Girl

Ok so my job might not be as exciting as the TV show title it rips off but it’s worth a mention on this blog. Yes it’s a secret that I’m blogging while I’m in work…but to be honest I don’t think it’s that big of a deal really. That’s where working attitudes differ between Australia and the Read More

Stalking is the key….

….to getting a job in Saigon. No, I’ve not gone all Glenn Close on the Vietnamese employers but believe me, a bit of assertion and dedication is needed to get a teaching english job in this town. Before we started looking for an actual job, we were told A) “It’s really easy  to get a Read More

Photo of the Week- Mekong Delta

This little boy showed the adults how to do it on the Mekong Delta tour. When presented with a Burmese Python, this groovy dude jumped at the chance to have a go holding it. As you can see from everyone’s reaction in the background, everyone was delighted to see him having so much fun with Read More

Say it like the Vietnamese…

I’ve been meaning to write this blog for weeks now. Four weeks and 3 days to be precise. I loved lots of things about Vietnam but I have to say the best thing about the country is the people. And my favourite thing about the people is the sayings they come off with… Here’s a Read More

We love you Hanoi, we do

I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the amount of love I have for Hanoi. I was always looking forward to coming to Vietnam out of all the countries in S.E Asia but Hanoi really won me over from the get-go. Hitching a ride in a taxi from the airport with Dan and Bianca, we witnessed the Read More
