		<title>Big hopes for Bangkok</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We arrived in Bangkok with big hopes: our hotel, The White Orchid, looked great in the photos, with a jacuzzi, spa and massage room and a roof-top restaurant overlooking the city from the 12th floor. We were tired, smelly (nowhere to wash on an overnight train) and ready to just melt into a pampered, self-indulgent [...]

		<title>But yeah, now she sleeps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So we&#8217;ve made it to Bangkok: we got a tuk-tuk to the train station, just past the Laos-Thai Friendship Bridge, and were happy to find there were first-class tickets left &#8212; not too expensive, and after the &#8220;hard sleeper&#8221; in China and &#8220;chicken bus&#8221; in Laos we weren&#8217;t in the mood to find out what [...]

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve been a bit quiet on the journal since we got to Laos, but it is because we&#8217;ve been doing a whole lot o&#8217; nothing: days relaxing/lazing at the hotel, reading book after book or watching (often bad) movies on HBO. In the afternoon or early evening, as the temperature dropped, we headed into town [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Relaxing at Le Leela Hotel in Vientiane, Laos, and it&#8217;s time for a long overdue update. Wifi here is fast! Probably because we&#8217;re the only guests.
We&#8217;ve had a bit of an adventure in Laos so far, largely due to &#8220;travellers&#8217; belly&#8221; that hit us in Jinghong, near the border on the Chinese side. I think [...]

		<description><![CDATA[So you&#8217;ve probably noticed it&#8217;s been rather quiet from us of late, and you may have guessed why: the lovely Chinese government decided to block this website with their beloved Great Firewall. They also blocked Facebook, Blogger, Flickr and a whole bunch of other sites at random.
But we&#8217;re in Laos now, so I can post [...]]]></description>
