Nomadic Pondering: The last 4 months
http://nomadicpondering.blogspot.com/2007/05/last-4-months.html
Travels and ponderings of a wandering guy. Sunday, May 06, 2007. The last 4 months. Finding time to look back at the blog has been limited recently, how people manage to do a daily blog while living a normal life I'll never know. Anyway the car was soon registered and a few days later was fully insured. Coming back from Australia I had a few days in UB to write-up before heading to the UK with Nadia and Alex. As on an Air China flight last year ( June '06. So, at last, back in the UK, where the weather h...

Nomadic Pondering: March 2006
http://nomadicpondering.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
Travels and ponderings of a wandering guy. Thursday, March 23, 2006. Dull tecnical post - Getting Waypoint coordinates out of Google Earth and into a GPS. Sorry for the lack of posts recently. Busy back in Mongolia. Here is a little something for all you frustrated GoogleEarth GPS users out there working out how the heck to get GPS waypoints out of the thing…. 1 – make your new points in GE. Make sure they are highlighted in the places side-bar. Save them as a GE file *.kmz. If you are feeling ready for ...

Nomadic Pondering: Mongolia... Cycling tours
http://nomadicpondering.blogspot.com/2007/01/mongolia-cycling-tours.html
Travels and ponderings of a wandering guy. Tuesday, January 16, 2007. Mongolia. Cycling tours. The biggest problem in Mongolia for cycling would be a strong and constant headwind. I've not cycled in Mongolia but I used to cycle a lot and know what difference the wind can make. While driving in Mongolia I've seen poor souls heading on a road with 100km or more to go to the next attraction, zero shelter, and a 30 kmph headwind that will last for days. Absolutly exhausting work. View my complete profile.

Nomadic Pondering: Apple service in Bangkok
http://nomadicpondering.blogspot.com/2007/01/apple-service-in-bangkok.html
Travels and ponderings of a wandering guy. Thursday, January 04, 2007. Apple service in Bangkok. To save people some sleuthing (except the sluthing to find this thread of course) here is a map to get to the new Apple service office in Bangkok, open now for about 3 months. So far you can't find any details of it on Google or on Apple's support website (poor form again from Apple). Even the Applecare person I called in the UK could only give me the phone number rather than an address. Me-Go Aorund the world.

Nomadic Pondering: web site update
http://nomadicpondering.blogspot.com/2006/11/web-site-update.html
Travels and ponderings of a wandering guy. Tuesday, November 28, 2006. What do you call an old update? Well whatever it is, it has happened to my main website recently with new (? Photos from back in September being added. These were taken in Uzbekistan as part of a study-group trip to see a couple of Central Asia's largest copper and gold mines. Don't worry, the photos aren't of rocks (well, most of them.). Go look at http:/ www.geocities.com/thomaspsant/index.htm. For the new stuff. Lots of kisses Em.

Nomadic Pondering: Mongolia... Rubbish!
http://nomadicpondering.blogspot.com/2007/01/mongolia-rubbish.html
Travels and ponderings of a wandering guy. Tuesday, January 16, 2007. The following quotes were posted by someone on Lonely PLanet's Thorn Tree message board relating to camping in Mongolia. Carry out all non-biodegradable items and deposit them in rubbish bins in the nearest town. Make an effort to carry out rubbish left by others. I do the following with rubbish when in the countryside in Mongolia:. Glass bottles - try to take to a city or town and leave them by a bin. Someone will collect them to ...

http://nomadicpondering.blogspot.com/2006/06/10-past-3-in-morning-ub-airport-fg-air.html
Travels and ponderings of a wandering guy. Tuesday, June 13, 2006. 10 past 3 in the morning, UB airport, F* * *g Air China. Were told the same delay). Nope – this reeks of a scheduled event due to Air China not wanting to change their timetable in the face of reality. Thank you Air China. I would be cutting up my frequent-flyer card if it didn’t get me a quick check-in in Beijing. Actually as I never intend to use you again I think the card will face the scissors anyway…. Now 10 past 3 in UB airport.

Nomadic Pondering: Garmin and Mac, GPS and Google Earth
http://nomadicpondering.blogspot.com/2006/12/garmin-and-mac-gps-and-google-earth.html
Travels and ponderings of a wandering guy. Saturday, December 23, 2006. Garmin and Mac, GPS and Google Earth. Well, back on the 10th Jan Garmin announced that it's GPS software products would be compatible with mac computers by the end of 2006. I found a Garmin 'blog' site the other day here. And asked them if their developers' Christmas bonus were dependent on that, as with only a few days to go it's doesn't look promising. Obviously the criticism didn't go down well as my post never materialised. I hav...

Travels and ponderings of a wandering guy. Wednesday, December 13, 2006. More on traveling through Mongolia and hiring jeeps. A post I recently put on Lonely Planet's thorn tree branch for Mongolia, the discussion was started by taking about vehicle fuel use. Moving on… General advice for ‘independent’ travellers in Mongolia…. How do people think they are helping when they accept being ripped-off because ‘the people are so poor’ anyway? This encourages tour companies and drivers to lie, steal and cheat r...

Nomadic Pondering: Only in Mongolia - State Sponsored Terrorism
http://nomadicpondering.blogspot.com/2006/12/only-in-mongolia-state-sponsored.html
Travels and ponderings of a wandering guy. Monday, December 04, 2006. Only in Mongolia - State Sponsored Terrorism. A MIAT flight from Dalanzadgad to UB was apparently held up by 2 passengers who pulled out pistols upon landing at UB airport last week. Some people were tied up but it all ended peacefully, the only casualties being a lady who received cuts on her face and lips and one person who was taken to hospital due to high blood pressure.
