Awards


Best Country - Still Laos (just). Beautiful people. Remote rivers and villages. Awsome beer and the most chilled out place on earth.
Best Food - Thai (easy). The only bad meal we've had here was our first night after coming down from China.
Worst Food - MYANMAR. Terrible.
Best Experience - Papua. The people. The way of life. The remoteness. It was the Mongolian wilderness with the Laos people and African skies. Awesome.
Scariest moment - The Tiger Leaping Gorge bus. Very bad.
Worst mistake - Train tickets in Japan running out. Expensive. Sarah thinks Kuala Lumpar being built runs it close though!
Favourite words:
Titiwangsa - A park in KL
Marshrupti - Still used for any kind of rubbish transport anywhere we go.
Kikka Poo Joy Juice - Malaysian drink
Piki Pusco - Finnish word for something sticking in you (cheers Tero and Merja! oh and I used your photo above as well, thanks for that too!)
Hu? - Sarah got 3 months of enjoyment out of asking 'Hu' the Chinese Premier was.
And finally
Friday night tea - Hamroasts unique selling point. We have become famous throughout Asia for the concept that if its Friday night, you can spend loads of money on wine and nice food. You know it makes sense!
