KUALA LUMPUR – MALAYSIA

19/3/24 – 20/3/24 104 days since getting back from Seoul, and I’m off again – this time travelling through a strange mix of countries and cities, all joined by their ancient history. 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…

ULAANBAATAR – MONGOLIA

30/11/23 – 3/12/23 After polishing off the food I had left in the apartment, I packed up and ordered a Yandex to the airport. I was going to be a bit early, but I wasn’t hugely fussed, as I knew I could just sit somewhere quiet, read my book, and wait! Almaty Airport, unlike Tashkent,…

ALMATY – KAZAKHSTAN

27/11/23 – 30/11/23 I woke up feeling just as bad as the day before, and when time came to check out, I had to very slowly lower myself down the stairs as to avoid passing out. After getting some cold fresh air into my lungs, I had enough energy to walk about 15 minutes to…

BISHKEK – KYRGYZSTAN

25/11/23 – 27/11/23 Tashkent Airport’s departures area has been completely overhauled, and it is very much worth mentioning, as it points to Uzbekistan’s development as a tourism destination. After passing through immigration, I hunkered down by the bus gates with my current book (Fairy Tale by Stephen King), and waited for my flight to Bishkek…

BUKHARA – UZBEKISTAN (#2)

21/11/23 – 24/11/23 After a hefty breakfast, I headed out to meet with my friend Sabrina and her sister, Parvina. We met up at a coffee shop not far from the old town, and had a lovely time catching up. Sabrina headed off to university, but Parvina and I had something else planned for her…

TASHKENT – UZBEKISTAN (#2)

20/11/23 After a quick shower and breakfast, I checked out of Hotel Sharq and headed for the airport. Dushanbe Airport is a classic Soviet-style airport, with a few vendors open selling coffee and soft drinks, and a large duty-free shop. By some stroke of luck, on the same flight to Tashkent as me was an…
