December Update & Plans For 2012


Merry Christmas everyone! We hope you are all having a relaxing time over the holidays.

We’ve been tagged by Ashley of No Onions Extra Pickles, who we had the pleasure of meeting in San Francisco, in a game of travel blogger ABCs. From A to Z we’ll share how we got started travelling and some of our favourite experiences, food and destinations along the way.

We learnt the importance of an annual review from Chris Guillebeau. The idea is to set aside some time at the end of the year to look back at what did and didn’t go well, and to make plans for what you’d like to achieve in the upcoming year. We’ll be conducting our annual review in the next few weeks and we’d love your help to improve Never Ending Voyage.

November has mostly been a month of settling down in our Chiang Mai apartment and getting some work done. Although we haven’t visited many of the tourist attractions we’ve been enjoying local life – buying fruit, vegetables and fresh rice noodles at the markets, whizzing around town on our moped, meeting up with friends at one of the many delicious vegetarian restaurants, and attending some local festivals.

Bangkok was a shock after orderly, efficient Japan and we couldn’t warm to the huge, crowded city with its constant traffic. We’d seen the sites on a previous trip so this time we focused on eating – from western comforts in the many shopping centres to taking advantage of the wealth of meat-free street eats during the Vegetarian Festival. Bangkok also has the best cinemas in the world – ultra comfortable and cheap. Just remember to stand for the national anthem.
