Heading East

I’ll be setting off on my travels again shortly. This is a mixture of anticipation and dread for me. Dread because I think that I’ll forget to pack something (yes, I know, ‘Make a List’) or when I’m gone something will crop up at home and my wife will have to deal with it alone. Or maybe the taxi will arrive late and I’ll miss my train and then miss the flight from Manchester to Heathrow and then miss the flight to Bangkok!

I’m not looking forward to the 34˚C temperatures and high humidity that will greet me in Bangkok, Singapore and Manila.
I’m not a lover of heat. It will be a schvitz! And, you get torrential rain there too!

But I am intrigued by the thought of seeing Bangkok, Singapore and Manila – half a world away. I’m also looking forward to capturing it all on my Sony DSC-W90 camera. I’ll upload some of the better snaps on my flickr account.

So, like most things in life, you have to take the rough with the smooth.
