scrapbook 2006

The original Scrapbook I used for my 2006 around-the-world trip was basically built from scratch using flash and PHP. It served me well and wasn’t bad considering it was made by me, but it definitely wasn’t perfect.

I have now finally finished manually porting the pages over to this blog in all their glory. OK so its basically a way for me to relive the past, but if you want to be reminded of what you missed out on, you can see all my posts in the RTW category.

Tag links also now work, so you can click on the more specific tags at the bottom of each post for anything tagged with that link, opposed to categories on the right-hand side. Eg, clicking on GABBS will return all the posts where Gabby is mentioned or PHIL will bring up our time in Edinburgh and Greece for example :)

Some people also don’t notice the “Continue Reading..” links on post, (now made more obvious) if you click it or the post’s Title it will take you to the full post with the rest of the story, photos etc.

Greenwich

Greenwich, London, is where the Eastern Hemisphere meets the Western half at 0° longtitude and the place of Greenwich Mean Time GMT+0.
We just missed entry into the observatory, but we found the poor mans marker just outside, which stretches down from the main marker inside the gates. There is even a green laser which shines at night along the division, so you can easily see if you are on the East or West!
Walked along the Thames and checked out the markets, where I got some great Afrian/South American Fusion Vegan food! Before heading to our friends place for dinner. Damn cold night!

CNY 2008, London

China Town, and seemingly the rest of central London, was locked down & dressed up for a huge Chinese New Year Festival!
Thousands of people showed up for food, music, fireworks, dance, and of course my favorite, Kung Fu!
