Spent about 4 hours on the bullet train fastest in the world 3 hours on the bus then a 10 minute car ride to get here from Tokyo. Day 1 The first thing you notice when you get to japan is how hot it is... You get sweaty just from walking around Tokyo which is

After leaving Jeju Island I returned to Busan where I stayed for five days or so just relaxing and enjoying the beach. From there I went to Gyeongju where I had a reservation at a hostel. When I showed up to the hostel they said that it was all full. I felt like Seinfeld trying to talk to this guy. He told me that if I wanted I could upgrade for 10 to another room. I told him that I wasn't going

We started the day by calling Jodie to wish her a happy birthday Then we drove out to ldquothe creeksrdquo. The road was built at the top of the hills because at the bottom were the gold claims and also there was soft muskeg and other roadbuilding problems. We came to a park sign explaining roadhouses. It seems that a roadhouse was built almost every mile in the area providing food and s

We arose early as we were leaving Tennant Creek to begin our long journey across the Great Artesian Basin to Mt Isa. The day was clear and cool and sun strike was the early problem. As we left town we were almost wiped out by a road train turning across our bow. This was really scary we came up to the lights and we had the right of way green light. Luckily Graham noticed this huge road train co

I found a backpacker apartment to move into in the same area as Leahanne. It's an agency that has a couple of apartments and rents them out to backpackers and puts small groups and singles together. So I went to c

Mongol Vs Conductor We had taken our seats and were waiting for the bus to fill when the old Mongolian got on. Every craggy feature on his wizened old face had a story to tell none more so than the large cleft in his left ear. Aimless incoherent mutterings fell from his toothless mouth. Here was a character who had many a battle behind him. Bent double he slowly lurched down the bus before li

This week is my school's anniversary which means that there's a lot of activities happening every day. During every recess the school hosts some kind of competition where grades get points and the winner earns the ultimate prize which I still don't know what it is.
