British 10k London Run 2011
This was literally a last minute thing to run 10km, in the 2011 ASICS British 10k London Run! I didn’t do any training or preparation and I was dragged out of bed to Hyde Park corner. It was exhausting, especially the first 6km. I did it in just under 1hr20mins. My only objective was to … Continue reading
Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur and Monaco
Given the “Golden week” full of public holidays we went on a fly-drive holiday in Southern France. The weather was perfect (bar one day). Our base was Nice, well actually La Gaude near Nice. It gave us views like this in the morning: But the hotel wasn’t that great so we only really slept and … Continue reading
Airbus A380
Had this great view from the tail of the Airbus A380-800 I flew back in from my flight from Dubai to London. Makes me want to be a pilot!
In Mumbai again…
I forgot how Mumbai traffic was. You know at the start of F1 races where 20+ cars try to squeeze onto the same piece of tarmac? Well, that’s what it’s like in Mumbai ALL the time. Somehow, pressing the horn activates a repelling magnetic field that keeps cars just millimeters apart!! Amazing. Oh, and throw … Continue reading
Northern lights in Tromsø
I went for a long weekend in Tromsø, Norway. That’s all the way at the top of Scandinavia in the Arctic circle. I had a chance to ride a snowmobile. It was much more physical than I was expecting any my arms ached for the next couple of days! I managed about 30km without any … Continue reading
おいしそう！ (Yummy food)
During my recent holiday to Japan, I decided to have a break from my typically British sandwiches and enjoy some mouth watering food from Japan. Here’s a photo diary of some meals I had in Japan. Unfortunately, there were a few times I couldn’t resist and just had to dig in! 1. Sukiyaki in Ginza, … Continue reading
My summer in 14 photos.
My blog’s been a bit quiet recently. Due to work commitments, I didn’t get a chance for a long summer break but managed to get away on some weekends. Instead of writing a long blog post I’ll summarise the highlights in 14 photos. I got blown away at the summit of Snowdon in Wales: 6 … Continue reading
Mumbai again
I’m back in Mumbai for my third and hopefully final trip. I’ve only got about 2 double pages left in my passport after all those visas. Now it’s the monsoon season in India. I haven’t seen so much rain in my life! This is the view from my hotel room today but on the first … Continue reading
Koh Lan, Pattaya
As I returned from Mumbai to Bangkok, I wasn’t able to go with my original plans of staying in Bangkok and perhaps shopping at the now collapsed Central World shopping centre. I arrived at 5:30AM so I stayed near the airport to have a shower and a quick nap. All I knew was that my … Continue reading
After work fun
Despite the curfew imposed by the Thai government, my colleagues didn’t disappoint in showing me a nice time in Thailand. OK, the office is 2 hours from Bangkok but we were able to have a nice party and also go bowling on my last night in Thailand. Here’s some photos:
