Waterfalls and Misty Mountains

Today was the driving day to see the surrounds of Cairns. Since it was a little overcast and rainy in parts, the visibility only went down over the day, but this only added

Recovery Day

I think it's fair enough to say that today was a relaxation day. The wet suit got another successful work out, fish and chips gave a thorough test of how happy my stomach

Great Barrier Reef

Every holiday needs a sick day right? Well, that was for me today. Not because I had caught something, but the wind had a little too much fun with the waves. The boat

Warmth Suit

Getting in and out of this thing is still a pain, but it at least lets me get willingly into the ocean without kicking and screaming and everybody else getting muddy. So that

Relaxing Rides

Now that it's finally a week day, we had to take care of something very important. I got a wet suit. For the sole purpose of not freezing to death on the Tour

Rooster Dominance

For the first time in like half a year, I have woken up and actually felt awake. Oh holidays, how I have missed you. We'll ignore the part that it was 10:30

Warmer Coast

It seems too long since I've been on a proper holiday. But all the basics were there and immediately recognisable. When I told one of my travel companions that they were getting picked

Small Adventures

Adelaide

Well, I spent several days in Adelaide again, visiting some different friends this time around, and I did not appear to get around writing a single blog entry, so I'll try to make

Long Way Home

Survived! At the end of the last blog entry, we were just about to get onto our first overnight flight, and we’ve finally finished our second night of flying. After the fun

Slightly Wrong Turn

Waking up in luxury seems to be roughly the same as waking up anywhere else. You feel tired and want to go to bed. When the bed is more comfortable, even more so.

Boats

To add to our series of motion-sickness inducing devices, today we have a boat! Okay, so we didn’t quite go the 11000 km to Las Vegas, and had to settle with the

Buses

Unfortunately, not all parts of Hong Kong are serviced by trains, so instead of getting onto the second story of tram, we got onto the second story of a bus. The seats are

Trams

Our plan got thrown into a bit of chaos as some of us realised that we had commitments that pushed our plans of today to tomorrow. So, on top of getting up late

Miscellaneous Remedies

The car situation is such a funny one. Coming from Japan, I’m used to Toyota Crown’s being the car of choice for Taxis (even though when I think about it, it

Hong Kong (中華人民共和國香港特別行政區政府)

Well, it’s been an interesting first day in Hong Kong. Of which I’ll first have to address the really weird quirks. Considering how people usually describe Hong Kong to me, you

Warmth!

It took us the entire day, making our way immediately to the airport after getting up, and arriving at our new accommodation at midnight, but we made it. And I can finally stop

Last Shopping Opportunity

Our last day in Japan, and apparently this meant that we had to get all of the souvenir for the jealous people back home. Travelling in a slow zigzag pattern across Tokyo, we

Japanese Super Advanced

So we managed to get ourselves an invitation to the JT60SA fusion research reactor, which was highly informative (for the physics oriented of us). They are currently going through the process of upgrading

Fuji-San (富士山)

I keep on being surprised by just how busy some of these places are in the middle of winter. And while it was actually a very acceptable temperature (certainly compared to Korea), you

Train Delivery

After we have already emptied all our bank accounts, we went on an even more expensive shopping excursion. Synthesisers! The shop only had used stuff, and they still had stuff which went up

New Toys

So, in Shinjuku I was looking at things that I wanted, but they were all too expensive and not really necessary, and as such my bank account didn’t really suffer in the

Pink and Hanging Upside Down

Yikes, Japan has got a lot of pink. I thought that that colour would have limits, but Harajuku just seemed to have applied it by the bucket. The place is also littered in

Shinjuku (新宿区) and Shibuya (渋谷区)

So many memories are coming back about this place, just not any of the navigational skills. Trying to walk out of the correct end of Shinjuku station for example I got completely wrong.

Nagoya (名古屋市)

Some of us wanted to still take the last opportunity to see Kyoto before we bail, so they set themselves the adventures plan of getting up at 6:30. Yeah … um … if there’

Washigeishanoko

As the name suggests, some of us were brave enough to try out some of the more traditional Japanese clothing, a pretty popular thing to try considering the number of shops that do
