Honk Kong still wide awake 4am, why not start the blog?

Hard to believe it is nearly 2 years since I last attempted a blog. My last effort began when I was travelling in India and Thailand studying yoga, massage and meditation. Also taking plenty of time to enjoy the company of many wonderful people from all over the globe many of whom I am pleased still be in regular contact with.

To anyone who has met since, they will be well aware how much I gained from the experience, and also how much of a challenge integrating the experiences of this time, into life in the UK has been. Though while on adventure I made a list of things to do, on my return, and after two years most of them I achieved. Anyone still waiting for a thai yoga massage, I will get around to you eventually!

My plans to blog my Indian adventure came to a halt as due to really slow computers, and I wondered how much interest there would really be in reading my ramblings, especially as so many of the experiences were personal and not I thought of interest to others.

Since then the whole facebook phenomenon has exploded like an electric spider across the collective concious, turning us all into voyeurs. The flipside is the comfort it has brought in knowing how much interest our friends take, in the little details of our lives. I wonder what Andy Wharhole and Marshal McLuhan would have made of it?

There are a mountain of images, thoughts, ramblings etc which never quite made it from my computer to the web. So this trip I have with me a fine an acer aspire one, a fine little linux laptop, digital camera and servers at home, with all the tools to spread my musings, pictures about the place.

As these thoughts are vomited up, I will post them here, eventually they may morph into a more structured output, but for now you will get them partly digested, with all bile included.

Do keep posting about your adventures Jim. I will be reading and I'm sure many other people will be as well.
