About me
My main general travel blog is Khyber Pass Cafe…at least for now…
I’ve started a special blog about travel in the Middle East… I just returned from Thailand, Cambodia and Hong Kong… I have more than one blog… I also have a blog about Eastern Europe and the Balkans…
My interests are in Eastern European and Central Asian history…including the Byzantines, Ottomans and Moghals…ancient and modern. Also Thais and Khmers…planning trip to Burma…
This is an area that is greatly ignored in the West… I am working on a lot of Indian History now…for a trip this fall to India…
I like to know the history of the places I travel to… Do a lot of photography…love the new hi-def vid cameras… I use a great Sony Hi-Def…video cam…and have several other digital cameras…
