South East Asia - 2nd Time

Here are the diaries for our 2nd, more conclusive, visit to South East Asia.  There are diaries for:

  • Indonesia   ( 8 Articles )
    We had little expectation of this country, but it has the world's 3rd largest population, has the world's most densely populated island and is THE most populous Muslim country in the world.  So what happened?  Find out more here.
  • Singapore   ( 1 Article )
    This tiny island is the most British outpost left in the world, but how British is it nowadays?  How long could we afford to stay here for?  Why do I ask so many questions.....there are some answers here.
  • Malaysian Mainland   ( 2 Articles )
    Malaysia is really many different places all rolled into one.  Here are our diaries for the Malaysian mainland.  Look elsewhere for our diaries of Borneo and Brunei.
  • Borneo (Sarawak)   ( 5 Articles )
    We did not know what to expect when we boarded the plane to Borneo, even with only a 2 hour flight it sounded SO distant.  What happened when we arrived?  Were they clothed?  Read our Borneo diaries here and join us in this AMAZING land.
  • Thailand (1st time)   ( 4 Articles )
    Back to where it all started.  This section includes the story about that fateful day on December 26th 2004.  Still mean nothing to you?  Read our diaries to learn more.
  • Myanmar (Burma)   ( 9 Articles )
    We visited this country on a wing and a prayer.  What happened?  What was it REALLY like?  How are the people?  What is the deal with all this anyway?  Why has everybody forgotten these people?  Read our diaries here.
  • Thailand (Times 2,3&4)   ( 3 Articles )
    Why do we keep on going back to Thailand (apart from it being the ONLY real option from Myanmar)?  What is it with all these funny ladies wearing nothing much?  Why can't we speak more of this funky language?  Read more here.
  • Cambodia   ( 4 Articles )
    The Khmer Rouge, S21 and the Killing Fields are all vital parts of this country's disturbed history, but it goes further back than that and we head to Angkor Wat to find out more.  Read our diaries here.
  • Vietnam (2nd time)   ( 4 Articles )
    Back to the land of the nearly severed foot.  Would Justin survive it this time?  This time we managed to get outside of Hanoi and see a lot more.  Not all nice and some of it not needed, but still a very important part of our trip.  Find out why here.
  • Laos   ( 9 Articles )
    This lesser visited South East Asian country promised a lot of "off the beaten" track adventure.  Just how far could we get off the beaten track?  Just how silly a place name could we find?  How far can Justin push a 100cc motorbike with 2 overweight people on it?  Find our more in our Laos diaires.
