		<description><![CDATA[You don&#8217;t see many old people in Cambodia. If you do, you have to wonder about the life they lead. Pol Pot&#8217;s Khmer Rouge regime were responsible for the murder of an estimated 2,400,000 people &#8211; which equates to 33% of the total population of Cambodia &#8211; with countless more being killed through starvation and [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The beautiful, remote village of Nong Khaiw (Nong Kiaw, Nong Kiew, Nong Kiau, or however you want to spell it!) is an absolute must visit for those heading to Northern Laos. Only a 4 hour bus away (albeit bumpy) it is a refreshing change from the lively and touristy cultural hub of Luang Prabang. Sadly, [&#8230;]]]></description>

We visited twice during our time in Laos (once before and once after Nom Kiaw) and we loved it, so here&#8217;s a couple of our favourite LP activities.

		<description><![CDATA[For backpackers travelling from Thailand into Laos, the most common option is to take the 2 day slow boat up the Mekong river. But for various reasons relating to comfort, safety and convenience, we decided on a much easier alternative to the Mekong slow boat. Despite the breathtaking scenery of rural Laos, the general consensus [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Luang Namtha is a fairly dull town, as far as South East Asia goes. There&#8217;s almost nothing in the town except hotels and workshops bustling with local tradesmen. At the time of our visit, Luang Namtha wasn&#8217;t really on the map for your average party-hard backpacker, so the bar and late night tourism scene hadn&#8217;t [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every one who visits Thailand raves about the food. So while we were backpacking across the &#8216;Land of Smiles&#8217; we were determined to bring a little bit of Thai cuisine know-how back home with us &#8211; at least enough to impress our friends! After checking out some reviews we joined a day course at Thai [&#8230;]]]></description>

Not a bad place to start either as it&#8217;s generally heralded as one of the best stops in Northern Thailand, with it&#8217;s cosmopolitan population of locals, ex-pats and hipster university students making a home for themselves in Thailand&#8217;s ancient &#8220;Rose of the North&#8221;.

		<description><![CDATA[Many people criticise Singapore for not being a true representation of Asia, having such a strong western influence, but I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s trying to be. It&#8217;s an extremely successful and varied hub for world commerce with lots of Asian flavours thrown in. For a backpacker it&#8217;s an easy, adjustable starting point for a trip [&#8230;]]]></description>

Most people visit Milford Sound as an organised day trip from Queenstown; this is one way to go but it&#8217;s so much more flexible and relaxing, not to mention cheaper, to make this journey yourself if you have access to a car.

Full of stunning scenery, a huge range of activities and a World-renowned warm welcome make it New Zealand&#8217;s favourite visitor destination. Queenstown&#8217;s beauty is down to being surrounded by the soaring indigo heights of the Remarkables and framed by the meandering coves of Lake Wakatipu. We [&#8230;]]]></description>
