The upgrade process is almost complete. You will notice now the new layout.

So, as cosmetic changes are practically finished for now, time to put some meat on those bones: that of the much overdue updates.

I have not forgotten about my beloved blog. No. Actually, I have been working on it a lot – there is just little visible evidence of it. Click back about 60 pages, and you’ll see what I mean. Here’s what I’m talking about. Now compare this with the front pages. Yes, that’s no accident. When it’s finally done, there will be a notible difference from what you’ve seen there. On my front page, there will be between 6 and 8 of those thumbail style entries underneath the newest feature article, which will have a similar layout to what it does now. You’ll see what I mean.

The two people i’ve asked so far have mixed opinion, but damn, i’m not stopping. This will make my blog better. I know it. Being a perfectionist has it’s benefits. But it can also be very annoying.

So yeah. The idea is a neater appearence, and more practical too. Now people can actually gleam what the entry may be about without clicking the whole thing. It also means header images are not horribly out of sync with the rest of the entry. They are just a thumbnail now.

Anyway, I have done about 150 entries so far. There are over 400 on my site. So expect this to take a few days. But it will be done, and when it is, expect new entries too.

I know, I know. Updates, where have they been? Well, to tell the truth, I’ve been somewhat busy and somewhat unmotivated, which is a shame really because this blog deserves more.

In saying that, I have added two brand new pages. Museums and Galleries and The Author – both of which have been a long time coming. I am also almost done with my cities page which will provide useful navigation when searching out posts or information on specific cities I’ve visited.

On top of that, I’ve got trips to Japan, Belgium, France and Hong Kong to write about, not to mention a few interesting occurrences that happened in between. So once more, it should be a busy time.

I am very aware that I am almost 4 months behind. Do bear with me and I’ll sort that out soon enough.

I’ve been speeding along with updates to my site. I realise that entries 3-6 months out of date give the appearance that the site has been deserted, so it’s been my intention to update whenever possible without compromising the quality of the entries. I’ve still Japan and France to write about, not to mention I’m going on a trip to Hong Kong next week, so it will still be a while before I’m fully caught up, but continue to check back, as you can expect an entry every day or two from now on.

For those who have just stumbled upon this blog, or even for those who check back every so often, it probably looks as if thereisanotherworld is deserted. This could not be further from the truth.

For various reasons, most recently due to being in Japan, I have not really got around to updating this blog. It is, as you can see, about 5 months out of date. Maybe that’s because so much has been happening, maybe it’s due to laziness, maybe it’s for the reasons I stated, or perhaps it could be the massive backlog I faced after my 2 month trip last year. Or all of those.

Either way, it will be up to date before you know it, so thanks for reading, and keep on doing so!

It’s nothing to get excited about. I’ve just been creating a page system of ‘cities’ similar to that of people, except a bit more elaborate (with accompanying photographs and an introductory paragraph for each).

These will be online shortly, along with several new entries.

Yes, today’s update on Tonlé Sap Lake is indeed the 400th entry i’ve written.

Well, not entirely.

It’s the 400th entry on this site. But quite a number are backdated to long before I even started this wordpress blog. My first official update was somewhere in October 2006. Since then, the site has grown both in content and in readership.

With 2009, I plan to fully write up my 2008 Around the World trip, and of course do the same for events since then.

Other future plans include that of adding a gallery, and of breaking down tags so that cities can be accessed on their own individual page, much as ‘people’ currently are.

Actually, I have even bigger plans. But i’ll keep them under wraps for now.

Yes, I’ve finished writing about India, and soon i’ll move onto Singapore, Cambodia, Brunei and Malaysia. Keep checking back!

I have been writing an entry on thereisanotherworld each day now for the past four days, and it’s been rather fun recollecting those times and writing about them, as well as choosing photographs.

As some of you may be aware, I went on a 2 month trip between August-October last year, and so took gigabytes of photographs and naturally also collected books worth of stories. I don’t plan to bore people with every last detail, but for my own benefit mostly, I do want to do the trip justice and continue writing about it with an average of an entry per one-two days of while I was away. This will take some time to catch up, but I reckon it’ll be worth it, and with it broken down more, each individual entry will be shorter and more breezy to read.

So, expect regular updates now as i’m getting back into the way of the whole blogging thing.

Happy New Year All! I’ve been occupied as of late, and am therefore now in the region of 4 months behind in my blog entries!

This site is not dead however. 2009 shall see it continue on in it’s current glory, and most likely evolve – so keep checking back – I value your readership.
