Flick: USA 2015
A few months ago I had a party in the USA. I cannot wait until I can party in the USA again. Here is a little snapshot of that party: Continue reading Flick: USA 2015
How to relive your holiday
I don’t know why I never thought of doing this, but I love editing movies and often film my holidays and this is what I produced from my trip to South East Asia. I visited Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Continue reading How to relive your holiday
Sapporo to Otaru: the frozen cities
Well I wanted snow, and boy oh boy did I get it. One day and four trains later, we emerged on the top island, Hokkaido, to a white wash. The trees were all sprinkled with a bright white powder, the houses looked squashed under big puffy piles of white, and the large expansive lakes were … Continue reading Sapporo to Otaru: the frozen cities
Kampai to Tokyo
We are beginning to feel much too much like locals here in Tokyo. We were even stopped in the street today and asked for directions, of which we could provide straight away. Probably better than I could for the Sydney CBD. I think it must be time to leave soon… After being fortunate enough to … Continue reading Kampai to Tokyo

Tokyo, the city of neon signs and Shinto shrines, of skyscrapers and crazy newspapers. The gadgets and gismos, the foods, the kimonos. The vending machines, the trains, the architecture, the rains.

While both a means of staying warm, and saving money, walking takes you to secret parts of the city a … Continue reading Osaka
Our Osaka
A good way to test the strength of a friendship is to challenge yourself to walk from one edge of a city to the other. If you get lost, if you get hungry, if you need to pee, if you’re cold – how do you react? Do you bite each others head off and proceed … Continue reading Our Osaka
New day, new holiday.
This time a year ago I had just returned from an amazing and unforgettable six week journey around south-east Asia. Over the past few months as I helped countless friends plan their own adventures of south-east Asia (where to go, where to eat, how to beat the scams, how to have the most incredible fun, … Continue reading New day, new holiday.
