Its for work, but I will get a little sightseeing in each place.  I’ll be fairly scarce on my blog for the next couple of weeks, with work, sightseeing, eating and drinking.

I just figured I’m going to be freaking cold next week

I’m off to Tokyo on Saturday.  Work, not holidays.
I know that the seasons in the northern hemisphere are opposite to here in Australia, so I did realise it would be winter in Japan, but just what that entailed didn’t really hit home for me until the last day or so.
First, I looked up the weather […]

Australia Day - a special place

Today is Australia Day, the anniversary of the day the first white settlers from England landed in Sydney in 1788. 
Inspired by this post in Aussie Bloggers  …. here is a photo of what I think is one of the most amazing places in Australia, Purnululu National Park in the Kimberly region of Western Australia.  […]

The Underworld

Spent the day underground at Jenolan Caves. Caves are something I’ve had a longtime interest in, since I was a kid. I was for a while quite an active caver, but unfortunately work, and things like meeting my wife, and moving to Canberra, led me to drift away from it. That, plus really being too […]

Hanging out in airports

I started to write this post waiting for my flight from Kuala Lumpur, but time ran out before my boarding call.
No matter how good an airport is, and KLIA is very good as far as airports go, hanging around in them is not fun. In fact, I struggle to think of more boring ways […]

Time’s flying here in KL

I’ve now been in KL for a week and a day and time sure has flown by. Work, work, work …
But I’ve fitted in a couple of good nights out …satays, chilli crab, pepper crab, chilli prawns, and of course, large amounts of Tiger beer (and later Jack Daniels). Even tried eating some […]

In case I don’t get time to post tomorrow …

 I’m out of town (and for that matter, the country) for a couple of weeks with work, to here.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.  Flying there Sunday.

Eat less do more exercise

Rather than suing the airline for charging him for a second seat because he was too fat for one, Jean-Jacques Jauffret might usefully spend his time doing more exercise and eating better.
I hate it when a fat person sits next to me on a plane and overflows into my seat. The seats are small enough […]

Next time, get the oxygen masks down

Had to laugh at this story of a woman who caused a flight to make an emergency landing. The reason - she had been lighting matches to mask the smell of her farts. She was brought undone by other passengers who reported the smell of burnt matches.
