Thank you to those who were kind enough to donate to the Crusoe Rainy day fund. The Sponser a Crusoe project has been established. Also have heard of a lot of you out there setting your home pages to robintino.co.uk and bookmarking the site. I approve of this and will try and keep up the &hellip Continue reading
Crusoe goes to North Korea! NOT
Spoke to my Dad yesterday on the phone and the conversation went a bit like this:”What the hell? Your going to North Korea? Don’t do it son!” Had to let him know it was actually North VIETNAM I was flying to (Hanoi to be precise). Just imagined visiting North Korea and meeting Kim Jong II &hellip Continue reading
Crusoe Arranges transport
Bought my plane ticket today from Singapore to Hanoi city in Vietnam. Cost quite a bit (£85) but figured I’m not likely to make this trip again any time soon so may as well spend a little more money that I don’t have. Considering Black Bazil spent £30 on a cake my plane flight =2.5 &hellip Continue reading
Crusoe looks at the news
“Japan’s economy in record plunge “ according to BBC news. This is good news for travellers to Japan as currency exchange rates will favour the traveller…so now looks like a good time to visit. (congrats MC-Ubuntu) I visited Japan in 2006 and had an amazing time I’ll never forget. However, I was fortunate to have &hellip Continue reading
Crusoe Nearly Meets his Maker/ode to Immodium
I got a nasty bout of food poisoning the other day from a Tesco Prawn salad. Avoid these like the plague-in actual fact….I think they have the plague…. Have never had food poisoning like this, massive fever and projectile vomiting. Not my cup of tea. Everybody knows how when us limey-white people go travelling in &hellip Continue reading
Mmmmmm-Deep fat fried Tarantula
This is a delicacy in parts of Cambodia. Apparently tastes great with Garlic and salt. Will compare to GBK if I find any in Cambodia…
Crusoe has Lunch at GBK. Hilarity Ensues
Today, Crusoe went with MC-Ubuntu and Justin Blade to eat at the frikin’ awesomeness that is GBK. Crusoe reccomends the Avaccado Bacon while MC-Ubuntu had the Mexican. Justin Blade reccomends the Garlic Mayo Burger, and he knows his stuff. Click here to get a voucher. We did, and it rocked.
Crusoe narrowly escapes getting done by the police
What is going on with the police in this country? Normally I get annoyed when people complain about the police in the UK because when compared to other countries, our police are generally pretty fair, with relatively little police brutatility and citizen abuse… This was until the police started a hate campaign against cyclists. As a cyclist this &hellip Continue reading
The Danger of Travelling
Just read an article on BBC news: “Nearly 500 Britons went missing abroad last year, according to figures obtained by the BBC. Many were found alive within days, some were discovered dead, but for lots of families it is a story without an ending.” There is no doubt that care must be taken when travelling, &hellip Continue reading
Travel books
Love them or hate them, travel guides can be incredibly useful! I have used them when traveling through Japan (2006) and later in Eastern Europe (2007+2008). However, its important to remember that the book is only a guide and that you don’t need to only do things from the book and that if you want &hellip Continue reading
