So, after we left Seattle, we had a 5 hour lay over in San Francisco.  We celebrated Liana's birthday (again) with some good homecooked food at "Home" in the Castro with Liana's best friend Georgette.  Then, it was back to the airport for the long haul flight... Now we are in Hong Kong.  And they have free Internet access everywhe...

Some days, you do ordinary things. Some days, those ordinary things become extra-ordinary. Most days, we all keep a low profile, carrying no with our lives. And fortunately no one interferes with our run-of-the-mill daily activities. But what if you are a drug-smuggler? Or if you are couriering stuff across borders? This is a new story that neve...

Leif's brother took us to his university today. It's on top of a mountain, and it's gaint - there's all kinds of buildings popping up out of the trees and stuff. Four different campuses up there, and lots of natures. It's really cool, actually, I went on a picture-taking spree... And then afterwards we left and played games - we have over 1,500 ...

I survived my first night without freezing! Sooo glad there was a thick wool blanket in the closet. I had cranked the heat but Im sure the thermostat on the wall is only for decoration. I had washed a few articles of clothing, including my long wool socks that I was sure could crawl on their own, but they hadn't even begun to dry yet. So you kno...

I awoke ridiculously early and the music from the disco karaoke bar upstairs was still blaring. Frits was not bothered at all was sound asleep. After singing along to some of the 80's greats, making some noise, and general fidgeting, it was time to wake him up and hunt for some breakfast. We didn't really know what we wanted to eat or where...

So I'm in Hong Kong. It's pretty. Last week, Michael and I went to Myanmar for a short trip. We stayed at the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. It was terrible because they only turned the electricity on between the hours of 6 pm and midnight, which meant that the fan was turned off while we were trying to sleep, and it was obscenely ho...

Hello from Hong Kong or as it's now known, Tim Tam Tommy Town. Yes, Tom has moved from London to Hong Kong and as such was it made for a very good excuse for us to change our plans a little. We were due to spend another month in India but were a little weary after two months so decided to head to HK for Christmas and New Years Eve. Throw in the ...

Nick's Entry: I woke up at 3am this morning, my body was awake, obviously still on UK time. The air con unti was blowing down the wall and I was freezing. Or was i sweating? with my mind stuck between 2 continents, I wasn't sure. The ventilation duct into our room acted as a sound filter for the outside world. At 3am, it sounded busier in the st...

Righty ho then! First things first, I've just found out that I've got a 2.1! YAYAYAYAYAYAY! And my mobile has stopped working! :o( So I might end up buying a new one, until then hold all texts and calls. So I've arrived in Hong Kong, and it is absolutely baking! Stepped out of the main doors in the airport to meet +30 degrees and +80% humidity. ...

China was great, we hit 2 different ports in China and they couldn't have been more different. We first ported in Hong Kong which was amazing it really is city of the future. The high rises as far as you can see it just looks like it never ends. We had no idea what to do there cause honestly Hong Kong really felt like New York just a lot more As...
