Here we go...

Preparations for a 3.5 month trip through Asia are pretty crazy. It feels like the "anti" trip. There's been anti-measles, -Hep A, -typhoid -COVID and -rabies vaccinations. A wild array of pills for anti-nausea, -diarrhoea, -malaria, -inflammation and -headache. Not to mention antibacterial handwash and anti-mosquito and -sunburn creams... 

And who knew you could soak your clothes with an insect repellent/killing solution that will last for up to 6 months?

But after all that we are packed (lightly) and ready to go. The idea will be to backpack to Korea, Mongolia, Korea (again), Taiwan, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia and then Indonesia. We'll try and keep you updated with what's going on as we go - expect a long gap when we head to Mongolia and spend a week with no internet on a trip into the Gobi desert.

    1. Not smelly, as it turns out. We'll see how well it works, I guess

  6. So, you won't be washing your clothes for six months to make sure that the solution stays?

On to Mongolia

We were off early Tuesday afternoon, so there was only time to go for a wander around our local area in Seoul and grab some breakfast before...
