WAGAH BORDER – INDIA/PAKISTAN
25/3/24 One of my ‘bucket list’ items has always been to cross the Wagah Border, the only crossing between India and Pakistan that is open to third-country nationals. This is the site of the famous border parades, in which each evening, Indian and Pakistani soldiers face off against each other in a choreographed routine, surrounded…

AMRITSAR – INDIA
24/3/24 – 25/4/24 The Shatabdi Express I had stepped on in New Delhi trundled into Amritsar Junction, a sign proudly welcoming passengers to the Punjab capital.

First up, however, is a short stay in KL! I’d booked flights through AirAsia from Perth to Delhi, and after several flight time…

SEOUL – SOUTH KOREA (#2)
3/12/23 – 5/12/23 I’d been completely unable to contact UBus in order to schedule a shuttle bus to pick me up to take me back to the airport, and so I settled on taking a taxi. That, however, required me to find an ATM so that I could get more cash out. Unfortunately, I’d packed…
