Coming across new and interesting food and beverages is always an exciting part of The World by Road. We are exposed to new smells, tastes and products whether we want to or not. Every now and then, there are some some reminders of home. If you didn’t know it, Coca Cola is pretty much everywhere […]

Ropes, Climbing Shoes and Bamboo Tatoos
June 16, 2007 – 5:02 am
We have been in Thailand now for about a week and have already experienced some pretty cool things. After crossing the border, we drove through to Krabi (pronounced grabi) province and Ao Nang. From Ao Nang, it is a short longtail boat ride to Ton Sai and Railay beach. Ton Sai and Railay are home […]
Crossing New Frontiers
June 11, 2007 – 9:31 am
Just as soon as we seem to get used to the country we are in and become good friends with people we have met, it is time to pack up and leave. I guess leading a nomadic life is one of the things you have to deal with when it comes to a trip like this. […]
What Season is it?
June 10, 2007 – 10:43 pm
When we first left Denver back in February, it was the middle of winter and as we drove through Vail, we were treated to probably the last snow storm we would see for quite some time. I was browsing a local Denver news site the other day to check in on what has been going […]
What to Eat and How Much Heat
June 9, 2007 – 10:42 pm
I love being in South East Asia. For someone who likes to experiment with food, this is truly a culinary paradise. When I talk about experimenting with food, I don’t mean that you have to go to extremes, although I have managed to dine on various types of snake meat, some brain, the most foul smelling fruit on […]
Did You Know? (The Number 4)
June 8, 2007 – 10:43 pm
Given that we are learning a lot about the different places and cultures we are being exposed to on the World by Road, we thought that it would only be appropriate to share some of these tidbits of information in what we hope will be a weekly blog called: Did you Know? So without further […]
Does Anyone Know Why Shipping Cars is So Difficult?
June 1, 2007 – 11:08 pm
Luckily we did not ship our cars from Australia to Indonesia, because even shipping them to the largest and arguably, most efficient port in the world – Singapore – is proving to be a strain on my mental sanity. I am sure most of you are well aware of the difficulties we had in shipping […]
TWBR and the “Mayor” of KL
May 30, 2007 – 11:12 am
As most of you know, the ship ferrying our cars from Australia to Singapore arrived a week late, so we were forced to find something to occupy our time for a few days. We decided to cross over into Malaysia and take a taxi up to Mersing which is the departure point for Palau Tioman […]
On the Road Again
May 28, 2007 – 11:39 am
We finally have the trucks back and it is a wonderful feeling. We have talked about it before and have tried to describe the feeling of not having the trucks to those we have met over the last few weeks, but it is hard to put into words exactly what it feels like to have basically everything in the […]
The Grass is Always Greener…
May 18, 2007 – 1:13 am
After spending nearly two months in Australia, it was a welcome change to disembark the plane in Denpasar, Bali Indonesia. Although the flight from Darwin, Australia to Indonesia was only about two hours, these two locations are a world apart. Prices and the general cost of living differ dramatically. In Darwin, an average hostel bed […]
