This is going to be a pretty dull post but I can’t leave work for another 2 and a half hours and I’m struggling to stay awake so I thought I’d add a blog post. On the way back to Vietnam I changed planes in Dubai and there would have been an 11 hour wait so I decided to wait for just less than 4 … Continue reading Bangkok July 2017
As I’m killing time waiting for a phone call about a life changing event I thought I’d muse about how cheaply you can eat in Saigon but most importantly eating tasty food and probably a balanced diet too. Actually the event is not life changing it’s just a possible new job around 1000km away but hopefully it will work out well. I sometimes read of this … Continue reading Eating vegan cheap and tasty in Ho Chi Minh

As the Vegan in Vietnam posts seemed popular based on views I thought I’ll do one for the (few) places I visited in Indonesia. I didn’t know what a massive country it is until I started looking at places to visit and realised the immense size of it. I’ll break the post into towns but it’s just going to be one post. Bali: Kuta: this … Continue reading Vegan in Indonesia
Bali’s not the worst place I’ve visited but certainly not the best either. The marketing team must take tips from Apple to have it billed as Paradise Island. The most notable thing about Bali is the money grubbers (even lower than money grabbers), everyone wants your money with terrible customer service and wanting to rip you off. Signs everywhere proudly proclaim “no uber, no grab, … Continue reading Bali
My sister kept insisting that not only was attendance mandatory having fun was also obligatory. Despite the fact that no one else wanted to go, we were informed of the date of the trip, that’s democracy in the Stoddart household, what the matriarch says goes. Without question or exception. It wasn’t the fact we didn’t want to go as such it was the distance. Four … Continue reading A family funday to Wave Rock!!
