Stop Press!

Trying to finish Cyprus trip. Four new videos uploaded into previous posts.

After trotting around Southeast Asia over the summer, I'm now back in the UK - Cambridge to be exact. Am trying my best to update as frequently as my clinical course will allow.

Entries on Italy and France two winters ago have been put on hold indefinitely. Read: possibly never. But we shall see.

Entries on Greece and Turkey last winter have also been put on hold for the time being.

Arawan Shrine


The atmosphere was so surreal with hundreds of devotees paying homage to the deity. A sea of people prostrate themselves before the image and the altars are laden with overflowing offerings of flowers and elephant statuettes. Songs dedicated to the idol waft through smoke from countless burning joss-sticks which veil the dancers who sing the very songs they dance to.
