A Catalogue of errors. After a wonderful 3 weeks in heavenly Japan we moved on to Hong Kong. The city which was confusingly returned from British control in the late 90’s but isn’t technically China. Hong Kong & Macau are both classed as ‘Special administrative regions’ of China which meant we didn’t need to use […]
Hong Kong – that is all.
Bright lights, big city – Hong Kong was all about the buildings for me. Take a look by clicking the images below…
We’ve been in Aus for 3 weeks now and we love it although we’re slightly disturbed by the cost of everything. We survived Darwin on a diet of tuna butties and crisp butties with the occasional piece of fruit. We’ve just finished a fantastic West coast road trip with Rob & Gilly and we’re at […]
No, I’ve not learned to fly. I’m on an Air China flight bound for Hong Kong and have just experienced a Fuji fly-by on a clear day. Kind of a shame you can’t just loop around it and pop out the camera but I guess I’ll just have to content myself with having actually seen […]

Merry Christmas all! It’s bittersweet for us – on the one hand we’re in Tokyo which will probably never really sink in but on the other hand we’re away from all of you over the festive season and miss you terribly! So eat a great Chrimbo dinner for us while everyone in Japan eats KFC […]
I did get my ass kicked at Streetfighter but I intend to re-address that when we return to Tokyo in a couple of days. A few hours in an Akihabara arcade and I should at least beat the machine for a round or two. Tokyo is as incredible as I hoped it would be even […]
