Penang Hill – Penang Malaysia

March 28, 2009 By James Clark Leave a Comment

Penang Hill View

Penang Hill is one the most popular attractions on the island of Penang, Malaysia. The peak is reached by a funicular railway and it is a great place to escape the heat of the island. The Penang Hill Railway terminus is in Air Itam, which is easily reached by a local bus from George Town, […]

The Central Market of Kuala Lumpur

March 16, 2009 By James Clark Leave a Comment

Central Market

My favourite market in Kuala Lumpur is the Central Market, located between China Town and the Colonial District. While there are plenty of markets that are bigger, this market is a manageable size in a heritage building, which is worth visiting for the building alone. The side of the market is bordered by Jalan Hang […]

29 Euro train tickets from Budapest to Munich

MÁV, the train operators of Hungary, have special ticket prices from Budapest to locations around Europe. I got a ticket from Budapest to Munich for €29. The tickets aren’t apparent to find on their website. I only knew about the ticket offer from billboards in Budapest, and there is no indication of the special price […]

Hotel Review: Hotel Biarritz, Tangier - Morocco

Hotel Name: Hotel Biarritz Address: 102-104 AV Mohammed 6, Tangier, Morocco I spent the night in Tangier, which not many visitors seem to do. There was definitely a distinct lack of tourism here. Most visitors to Morocco skip Tangier and head to the train station for the Marrakech Express. [City of Tangier] Tangier certainly has […]

Spain to Morocco by ferry

March 10, 2009 By James Clark 1 Comment

Tarifa Jet

I travelled to Morocco from London from which there are many low cost airline flights. I wanted to arrive in Morocco via the classic ferry to Tangier so I opted for a flight to the South of Spain instead. There are numerous airports in Andalucia that you could possibly fly to from London. I chose […]

A self guided tour of Banksy in London

March 8, 2009 By James Clark Leave a Comment

Cherub with a bullet proof vest

Banksy pieces can be found in several places around London. I used a Banksy Locations Map put together by Art Of The State to track down many of these. They pin the works on google maps and are quick to mark any that have been removed. [Cherub with a bullet proof vest] [One nation under […]

Long Neck Women – Chiang Mai

March 6, 2009 By James Clark 3 Comments

Long Neck Woman

The long neck women are from Burma/Myanmar, and many live as refugees in Thailand. The long neck women are known as Padaung, a sub-group of the Karen tribe. The Karen tribe villages are near the Thai-Myanmar border, but there are also “villages” near Chiang Mai. I say “villages” as they are really just market stalls […]

Notes on Goa: Matt Damon, hippies, and Portuguese ruins

February 26, 2009 By James Clark Leave a Comment

Palolem - Goa

[Palolem – Goa] Goa is a small state on the west coast of India. It is often referred to as if it is a place. This former Portuguese colony was once one of the happening places on the overland hippy trail in the 1970’s, and ever since then every hippy worth their salt will tell […]
