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 […]

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.

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 […]

We made a b-line for Malaysia’s capital city Kuala Lumpur to meet up with our new Malaysian friend Wan. After a few days in Kuala Lumpur hanging with Wan and trying to get some much needed […]
