The Army Of Terracotta Warriors

Well, let me begin by stating that the Terracotta Warriors absolutely deserve their status as a World Heritage Site. The scale and complexity of the construction is incredible, from the sheer size numbers of artefacts, down to the individual features of the figures. It's a pity therefore that Bex and I saw a selection closer in Dusseldorf, when on a European tour (they were in Moscow too when we were there).

Auckland
To all our readers... It's the end of November 2007, and i've been working in Auckland NZ for the last month; and our journey's almost come to an end.. In an hour's time we'll be heading to Auckland airport. From there on flying to Hong Kong, whereu...
Animals
The parrots, and cockatoos, were something that Becky just couldn't get enough of. Apparently they're endangered, but that seems unlikely if the number of birds that we saw. Especially when we drove down Megalong Valley, near Katoomba in the Blue Mou...
Water
Gum trees don't look very verdant at the best of times; rather than being a bright green like the trees I've gotten use to in Europe and Asia, these are a blueish grey. Of course now with this drought, they're even worse. Looking around from our stop, ...
G'day, and other clichés
"Ooh, look at the parrots". As Becky pointed to the pair, one of them obligingly pooped on the pavement. This was one of the first novelties on arriving in Australia for the first time: seeing a pair of wild parrots cheerfully going about their busines...
Back in the EU
August is high season for Malaysia, and European tourists. As a result, the facilities at the park where heaving. Having not had any sort of interaction with 'westerners' in months (except for Craig, my boss; and he's born in Penang anyway), we were...
