I have half a world to travel today, all of it in a north over the equator sort of way. Australia is nothing but the inside of an airport now, its events becoming the photo galleries of my future - (want to see Karl Kennedy of Neighbours sing The Proclaimers? Watch this space...)

What glorious accidents of fate await me? Hong Kong is my next destination. A 24 hour non-stop, whistle tour of 40 storey gadget shops and neon lit noodle bars. Anyone got any tips of what I can do with only 24 hours in this fairly Huge Entity of a city? I would appreciate it.

Where is Japan? What is Japan? It all seems so far away from me right now. I have severely missed the food (recently deceased). Only when I'm shoving handfuls of tempura in my mouth again will I truly feel I've arrived. And my next travel destination? Mongolia in August. Bring it on
