Do Travellers Still Send Postcards?

One of my first travel memories was seeing a postcard come through our letterbox when I was a child in Bangor, Northern Ireland. As a kid, you ignore those boring brown or white envelopes and you are intrigued by colour so the postcard that arrived in the post caught my eye.

Ladies Football In Bobruisk In Belarus

The Northern Ireland ladies team played England in May 2007 in Gillingham, Kent. They lost 4-0 and played with passion and pride against full-time professionals. The fans sang loudly in defeat. So when Shaun Schofield (Author and full-time genius) mentioned going to another away game, it all fell into place. I was going to Belarus! I had exchanged emails with a few of the team and staff before arriving, and when I arrived at the Tourist Hotel in Bobruisk, the team welcomed me as the only Northern Ireland fan at the match! I got to hang out and dine with the squad and staff, and was also given free transport to the stadium, hotel and airport.

North Korea beat Hong Kong to Remain Unofficial Football World Champions!

Recently in Hong Kong the unique chance to watch my first ever football ‘World Cup Final’ came up! With a difference of course… Basically as an alternative to the normal and four yearly World Cup, there is an Unofficial Football World Championship which happens on an ongoing basis. It runs on a simple system – similar to Boxing – if you beat the current champion you become the winner! It dates back to the first ever international between England and Scotland in 1872. England won that match and they would remain Unofficial Football World Champions until they were beaten. Over the years, there is a league table (Scotland currently lead). You get 1 point for a win when you play a World Champions Match and zero for a draw.
