English Breakfast

Never before have I been so excited about eating processed food! One of the first meals I had when landing back in the UK was a hearty english breakfast.

At this moment in time everything seems so extreme. Down to the portions of food, alcohol and the prices they cost.

More post holiday thoughts to come.

Last stop Parvati.

Parvati

Yet another magical over night bus journey from Rishikesh took us up the mountain range, guided so it seemed by the gazing full moon, towards the valley of Parvati. No amount of tiredness could prevent me from staying up to watch the rapidly changing scenery as we creeped along the roads carved out of mountains.

I knew instantly that my 12 month journey was going to end here. Tired of moving about and in desperate need on some ‘reflection’ time, I found a cosy homestay and unpacked my bag for the final time.

The Parvati Valley does have a slightly more sinister side, with tourists “vanishing” whilst trekking due to the charas production in the area. Putting that aside, the valley is a perfect place to trekk around the surrounding villages and of course wondering about the lush forests, sweeping valley meadows and hot springs, whilst taking in that lovely mountain view.

Rob Clarke’s Air Asia logo.

1 year ago

I’ve been using Air Asia (AA) to fly to destinations around South East Asia on the cheap. They are a Malaysian based low cost carrier, very similar to UK brand easyJet.

In terms of brand consistency, AA really have a different visual presence when comparing them to other South East Asian airlines.

I was pleasantly surprised to stumble across British type designer Rob Clarke’s portfolio a couple of months back, who helped develop the logo and typeface in partnership with Start Creative.

Top job chaps.

Take a moment to look over Rob’s portfolio if you haven’t seen it already. Solid work.
