@Mister_Brue Is this your first time to India? How long will you be there and where will you be going?

[Denman John]

@Mister_Brue You’ll have an awesome time ~ India definitely has its own vibe. I was down that way a couple of years ago with my wife. Throwing Palolem Beach (Goa) and Hampi on your radar as they were places that we enjoyed in that area. I’ll be off to Nepal in 3 weeks and starting to get excited.

Kojima (and get the best Udon ever),

Where is this udon? We're passing through just over a week from now.

@alex?

I can’t remember exactly where

[pechelman]

Thanks, no worries. Maybe hiroyoshi?

After going to that small sushi joint in tsukiji you listed a while back, I'd definitely trust an udon rec as well.

[Alex]

@pechelman no, I saw that on the map when I was looking for you to, and whilst it looks familiar, it’s not the one we’re referring to. That place looks great though, I would check it out

@Giles said in Trips and Travel:

A mixture. Go and see some of the workshops with Alex in Kojima (and get the best Udon ever), a meeting with Haraki in Hachioji, a heritage workwear show in Beijing (Alex, AdamC, Josh and Sarina), and Thanksgiving with @ROman and Ralph in North Carolina....

Looking forward to hearing about Kojima, Hachioji and Beijing, and really looking forward to Thanksgiving......

See you soon. xx

A few pictures from Kathmandu

It's been a bloody long journey, but I'm finally approaching my final destination in Thailand after over 30 hours of travel.

Managed to sneak an hour of sleep on the second flight, but strangely enough I've kinda trancended the tiredness and am feeling ready to enjoy my evening upon arrival...

First came to Thailand in 2014, and completely fell in love with the North of country. COVID aside, I've been back every year since.

I'll be staying in my favourite town of Pai for a week, before flying down south to meet a friend on Koh Samui for some diving and New Year's festivities. After that were coming back up north for another 9 nights!

Feel blessed to have three weeks off work, but my friend managed to get five weeks off, he always has to one up me ...

[Giles]

Stay safe and have a blast....

@T4920 I think everyone has a friend like that. Still three weeks is pretty good going, and there’s plenty of time to get up to the right kind of no good!

[Denman John]

@T4920 Glad to hear you made it safe! What’s the weather like in Pai now?

[Mizmazzle]

@T4920 have a blast dude!!

[T4920]

@Denman-John around 25/6c during the daytime, but cools down a lot at night. Set to get warmer over Christmas and New Year though!

I love the variety of food you can get here. Currently waiting on Birria Tacos for breakfast, and am quietly confident that they're gonna be 'the best thing I've eaten in my life' as most meals tend to be here...

Little photo dump.

I love this town and there's nowhere I'd rather spend my Christmas!

[Denman John]

@T4920 Thanks for sharing the pictures - looks amazing. I should be there in about 10 days or so, give or take. In Pokhara now and heading to Chitwan National Park before heading back to Kathmandu to fly out. Will keep in touch.
