Milestones

The plan was the write an update somewhat sooner but as my laptop is a nightmare to use these days I dread having to use it. The occasions for a new blog were plentiful since there have been a number of milestones that came and went recently. ...

Osaka part 2

(don't forget to check out "Oskaka part one") The night had been very comfortable until I woke up the first time and readjusted the aircon flow for the last 2 hours of sleep. Waking up de second time I now had one hell of a stiff neck because ...

Osaka part one

There was another long weekend that appeared on my calendar, and since it had been almost 2 months since I’d been out of the country, I booked some to tickets leave Taiwan for a bit. Having recently visited the closer options to Taiwan I ...

Back at work

Same school, (mostly) the same kids, slightly different schedule, but without a doubt the same bullshit. It’s been about a month since the last update, so I guess it’s time for a new story. No fancy travel tales this time, and probably ...

You didn’t make a reservation?

Seoul was nice for a few days, but to make sure I wouldn’t spend too much time there I hopped on a bus and headed east. The lonely planet had described Sokcho as a nice place for a visit so I decided to check that out. The bus was very ...

Soul searching in Seoul

not at all, but it's catchy right? Well as unfortunate as it seems I find myself yet again at my hostel with no other guest to entertain myself with. So why not update this blog again in the form of another short story. The last update was ...

A very early update on Seoul

This is highly unlike me but due to circumstances and an old school available computer, I'll give you an update from Korea on only my second day here. This trip started in a hardcore backpacker manner. My flight was too early for public ...

A visit from Frans: Epic nights & dreadfull days

Last week I had the distinct pleasure of having one of my very good friends from back home as a guest here in Taipei. The last time I saw Frans was when we were both still living in Bangkok but that was still more than a year ago I guess. ...

Macau over the weekend

With the dragon boat festival on Monday we had ourselves a long weekend in Taiwan. Although I would’ve loved to see the dragon boat race since it’s just around the corner from where I live, it is in fact on the same river I run alongside ...

The daily grind

If I’m not mistaken I have not told you a great deal about my experiences with my current job. Maybe the best reason for this is because I like to tell you about the lighter stuff of life here and tell to save the less amusing stuff for my ...

Falling back in love with cycling

Okay this may sound weird for anyone who knows me well, because all of you will say “when did he ever love cycling?”. And you’d be very much on point, however if you don’t know me that well you would be easier convinced to think that a ...

Coming up for air

It has been 8 weeks already and I am not sure how the rest of you guys do this but working life simply blows. For the last let say 4 weeks I’ve been looking forward to my long weekend in April where I would have just enough time to pop out ...

Paycheck to paycheck

Today I live a life that many people have lived for a longer time or maybe even their entire (adult)life. As mentioned before in earlier posts I have had a phenomenal time travelling but I might have enjoyed the lifestyle for a little longer than ...

The sunny south and cultural west

Yes, it was more than a bit annoying that I had to go back to Taipei for some unpaid work. Having had to travel all the way back up north just to travel back south (this time on the west coast) 2 days later seemed a bit of a waste of time and ...

The outdoorsy east coast

With a few days to do as I please before I had to report for work I made a quick break for the east coast. Not knowing where to go I used my trusty lonely planet which told me Taiwan’s foremost touristic attraction is the Taroko gorge. To get ...

The great catch up

4 months, 5 countries, thousands of miles, uncountable smiles and some tears The bad part about putting things of for later it’s that eventually you have to face the music. So here I find myself in a situation I have been many times over the ...

Familiar faces, familiar places

The world can be small place sometimes. I had a one night stopover in Bangkok and I decided to go to Khao San for a place to stay. Now I know people in Bangkok so walking into someone I know is not unthinkable, but I mostly meet people I know in ...

The final highlights of Myanmar

Mandalay, one of the few cities I’ve heard of prior to going Myanmar. Upon arriving there I wonder why this city was a more well-known place because it was beyond boring. The city itself was unattractive and there were very little things of ...

You're travelling, it'll happen at some point.

It's how you deal with the situation. Having left Mawlamyine it was now time for Hpa-an from where you can undertake a few daytrips. On the day of arrival I rented a bike to explore some of Hpa-ans surroundings, which made for a very ...

Not bad Myanmar, not bad at all

After a brief but stressful stint in Bangkok, I would finally travel to Myanmar. I first talked to visitors about this exotic destination some 6 years ago and have talked to many more since then. One thing what all those talks had in common was ...

Business or Pleasure?

This time I'll be combining my pleasure with busisness. I'll base myself in different places to work and save money while also trying to explore the area I'm in.
