I have been to some truly abysmal shitholes in my time but Chisinau, the capital of Moldova, is easily the worst of them all. When you litter in Chisinau, property values go up. Syrian refugees hold out for a better offer when the Moldovan Government offers them asylum. I could go on (and I will)… […]
Ever heard of Honiara? Better still – have you been there? Probably not; Honiara is the capital city of one of the world’s least-visited countries, and the kind of place that is so … [Read More...] about Weird cities of the world – The Honiara Guide
I’ve been to Malaysia a few times, but due to business have largely hung around KL. Even that was hardly a comprehensive exploration of the city, limited as it was to Chinatown. So … [Full Story] about Exploring Sarawak – The Nagashanti Resort

As a veteran of China, I am no stranger to shitty bars with overpriced drinks, hidden costs and appalling service. Most of these bars don’t have much in the way of gimmicks, however, unless you count the deafening live music belting out the same five saccharine love ballads over and over again. Despite believing that … [Full Story...] about Really shitty bars with one cool gimmick: Palata No. 6, Kiev
Before going to Belarus, here’s what I knew about the country: it bordered Russia and its visa was a pain in the arse to get. I couldn’t even have told you the capital city of the country (Minsk), or that it was one of the few former Soviet Bloc countries that still revered Stalin. Luckily, I was to give myself a … [Full Story...] about Back in the USSR: an ignoramus’ guide to Belarus

It’s largely in China that I mount the rails, whether taking the 48-hour train from … [Full Story...] about Night Trains: Moscow to Minsk

Or at least I did, until I actually visited and found out that the Kremlin was a whole other building from that. Having now spent a whole day in Moscow and corrected my mistake, however, I am now fully equipped to … [Full Story...] about One Day in Moscow: an ignoramus’ brief guide
Getting ready for the renowned Trans-Siberian Railway journey can be quite daunting. But once that last visa is in your passport, once you’ve stocked up and bought all your thermoses and slippers and winter hats, then what? What’s it like to be on that train for six days straight? Luckily, we’re here to tell you … [Full Story...] about Surviving the Trans-Siberian Railway
