Tasty Tsingtao and the slow boat to Korea
Posted on February 20, 2015 by noflytri in Boats, China, Korea, Museums.Ok, so Seoul might still technically be on the Eurasian mainland, but having finally left China behind, 5 and a half months after I first arrived into Kashgar in early September, it definitely feels like another chapter in my journey has ended, which brings both feelings of melancholy and excitement for what is now to […]

Wat this way…
Posted on December 21, 2014 by noflytri in Cambodia, Photoblog, South East Asia.I’m going to let the photos do most of the talking for this post.
