Jakarta Layover I took silverbird (more expensive but worth not being held up at knifepoint, i think) and directed the cab in very poor Indonesian and made it safely to Manoah's office. From there, headed to Air Niugini office to pay for my plane ticket to PNG - they really don't make it easy to pay with credit card here. You have to pay in pers...

We've arrived! The Tokyo-based flight crew on our flight from Tokyo was charming and attentive. We slept too much on the plane and mostly feel like we should be awake yet (Kent can say "I told you so."). We're about to cab over to you hostel for the night, the Betel Box. So far so good!

Arrived in Sigapore after a nightmare journey. Had to make my way right back to Phucket airport. Online internet bookings were not accepting my credit card for some reason and after travelling all the way to Krabi airport there were no booths to buy a ticket there. So after 12 hours of travelling and also after loosing my bank debit card I arriv...

Contrary to many beliefs, yes I do work... sometimes. But as a JET I just couldn't pass the 3 day week at the end of September by without going somewhere. A 3 day week means only 3 days of nenkyu (paid leave) have to be taken in order to have quite a lengthy holiday experience. So, I hoped on a plane with fellow JET Rachel Beck, and took off to ...

Off to a hectic start...I arrived at the airport for an international flight just 45 minutes before the flight at 9:15PM or should I say 21:15. Yvette dropped me at the door and I ran in to see if i could still catch the flight while she played around trying to look like she was unloading. WELL OF COURSE, Singapore Air said no problem... i dropp...

And so it begins...Adam is on the road again. I didn't think it would come so quickly, but it is what I have been working towards for the last 8 months and I think I can be proud of myself. For the last three months I worked every week with no more than one day break in a row. That was a barrel of laughs. So this was the first time I used Tiger ...

Happy Holidays to each of you. We have actually ordered roast turkey with canned cranberries and are enjoying visiting with Andy, Rick's youngest son, who is taking a few days off from his life in Japan. The monsoon season has started in Singapore. Remember the 93 inches per year mentioned in a previous post? We are getting several inches a day,...

Let's just call this the Karaoke day. Smithy - if you want stories this is the first !! We started out with our first trip on the Metro (the MRT), which really does put London Underground to shame - on time and clean. The afternoon was spent at the Bird Park near Boon Lay, on the western side of the Island. This was effectively an enclosed jungl...
