With stories, opinions, suppositions, allegations - and much, much more! Welcome back to my world! Thursday, June 7, 2007. Is being put to bed for the duration of the English summertime. hmm, that'll be about two and a half weeks then. I might go to Vancouver, and then overland to Santiago, Chile, where I'll jump onto a plane to New Zealand. Then again I might not. My travels might be over. This could be the last you hear of Ramblin' Ollie! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Bristol, United Kingdom.

Ramblin' Ollie Returns...: An interlude in Thailand and a big brush with nature
http://ramblinollie.blogspot.com/2007/05/interlude-in-thailand.html
With stories, opinions, suppositions, allegations - and much, much more! Welcome back to my world! Thursday, May 3, 2007. An interlude in Thailand and a big brush with nature. I spent a little over two weeks in Thailand - two weeks spent giving my little brother Tom some insight into what backpacking in Asia is all about, as well as having a few giggles and getting thoroughly into the swing of island life with my old Aussie friends Grace and Jess and our new Scottish friend Michelle. As I said repeatedly...

Ramblin' Ollie Returns...: Backpacker hell
http://ramblinollie.blogspot.com/2007/05/backpacker-hell.html
With stories, opinions, suppositions, allegations - and much, much more! Welcome back to my world! Thursday, May 3, 2007. Finally, at 8am, when I could no longer tolerate the light, burgeoning heat and traffic noise, I sat up and, contemplating the day ahead of me, realised that a bleary set of eyes were regarding me from between the sheets in the bed opposite. I looked over, smiled and waved. The eyes fixed me with an unsteady stare. 8220;Working or drinking? 8221; I asked, pleased with the directness o...

Ramblin' Ollie Returns...: Bangkok Burger Break
http://ramblinollie.blogspot.com/2007/05/bangkok-burger-break.html
With stories, opinions, suppositions, allegations - and much, much more! Welcome back to my world! Thursday, May 3, 2007. Let me ask you another question - ultimately, what is advertising all about? However, none of my high-minded ethical beliefs were able to alter the fact that, after a week in Thailand, I found myself hankering after a Whopper. A Whopper is okay though! It’s flame-grilled, after all! 8220;I’ve just seen a sign. It said 34 kilometres to the airport.”. What is food without pleasure?

With stories, opinions, suppositions, allegations - and much, much more! Welcome back to my world! Tuesday, April 24, 2007. Traveller Paradoxes #1: Feeling trapped. That's all well and good but what if you just want to lock yourself away in a darkened room, watch no brainer movies and feel sorry for yourself? I can't lock myself away. I can't watch DVDs. I can't even reasonably feel sorry for myself because I'm a lucky fucker and I know it. What am I supposed to do? Oh, what an terrible prospect. Only th...

Ramblin' Ollie Returns...: Pahar Ganj
http://ramblinollie.blogspot.com/2007/05/pahar-ganj.html
With stories, opinions, suppositions, allegations - and much, much more! Welcome back to my world! Thursday, May 3, 2007. Let’s face it – I AM a naïve and inexperienced backpacker. Then a cow pissed on my foot. That was the last straw. I disappeared into my hotel room and didn't appear again until the bus to Kashmir was leaving. It turned out that Kashmir was quite intimidating too but that's another story. Leaving Delhi on that bus however was a pleasant experience indeed. I don't even want to be here!

Ramblin' Ollie Returns...: A snorkel and a muse
http://ramblinollie.blogspot.com/2007/05/snorkel-and-muse.html
With stories, opinions, suppositions, allegations - and much, much more! Welcome back to my world! Thursday, May 3, 2007. A snorkel and a muse. This is what happened to me when I stuck my foot in the gap. I was attacked by a number of inanimate shells and while I was preoccupied with not getting any other bits of me in a similar pickle my snorkel decided to detach itself from my mask and float away into the big blue. I was equanimous at the time – I lost a snorkel, I could have lost a leg. That’s w...

With stories, opinions, suppositions, allegations - and much, much more! Welcome back to my world! Thursday, May 3, 2007. I was filled with an unjustified confidence as I tackled the gentlemen at the hotel booking kiosk and foolishly accepted the first place they recommended without cross-examination and demand for picture proof. 8220;Fifteen percent luxury tax,” the receptionist said to me, smiling benignly. “One hundred and fifty rupees extra.”. On a room with a shit-stained toilet? 8220;But… but...
