G'day Sport - Fair dinkum?

Here I am on the road again, off to lovely Asia with all its sights and sounds. Speaking in Australian tongue to confuse Korean spies and stuffing my face with mango and sushi all at the same time.

How nice...

Over 38,000 miles total round trip, that's about 1.5 times round the equator. Mostly by air, some rail, some bus and some car, lots of leg work. I cannot really count the bus, rail, car and legs, so I left those out. The 38,000 by air is now showing 71 hours 55 minutes of total flying time, assuming the schedule doesn't change. That's 72 hours of bum hurtling through the stratosphere, not hanging at airport lounges. Ooh yes, I will cause global warming... but more, much more than that, apart from being able to say "I flew around the world" I have no idea why I did it. Not all airports are fun, not all flights are smooth. I do HATE flying! It's mostly on Singapore Airlines though, so it's a very civilized hate of flying. Sipping Singapore Slings while being catapulted into clouds... not too many though, if there's bumps it will all come seeping back out...

Blog Navigation: The most viewed entries appear on bar below the title up top. Most recent entries appear with pictures below that. If you select an entry by double clicking on its title, use older post and newer post at bottom of entry to go back and forth between other entries. HOME of course brings you back to the main page with only the latest entries. Double clicking a picture gives you a Picasa gallery view.

Microsoft Problem: Because they are light years behind in the internet world Internet Explorer 7 users will see poor quality pictures on this website. Upgrading to Internet Explorer 8 fixes the problem, Firefox, Chrome and Safari are of course completely fine. Portable Firefox, when downloaded to a USB stick and run from it works well at the "locked down" office. Best advice: Use another browser if you can.
