When I came to Japan, I never thought about going to Tokyo, because it got destroyed by Godzilla. But then I got talking to some idiot in a park while I getting to drunk and he told me it was only a movie, and Tokyo's still there, so I headed over to check it out. … Continue reading The Tokyo Brave
Kyoto has thousands of years of history, beautiful temples, and many links to a long-forgotten world when samurais roamed the land and ninjas chucked shurikens at any dickhead stupid enough to walk past. And while I respect that, I also found it to be one of the most boring cities I've ever visited. No, it's … Continue reading Kyoto – the Canberra of Japan
Like most people, I always assumed that Kobe is just the name of that black basketballing man, but it turns out it's also a city in Japan.

Battling typhoons … Continue reading You sunk my Battleship!
I was nearly exploding with excitement as my bus pulled into Nagasaki, the second Japanese city to get battered by an atomic bomb back in 1945. And I wasn't let down, because I had a real blast in this booming metropolis. Alright, alright, I'll knock off the puns. Shit, I didn't know you had such … Continue reading Nagasaki has blown me away!
After nearly getting fisted by an angry customs official upon entering Japan, i was determined to turn things around by having a killer first day in Fukuoka. And I did it, my friends, by having a day that was as a rich kid's stocking on Christmas morning. Turns out this city has heaps to see … Continue reading Fuk u, oka!
I spent my final evening in South Korea participating in the traditional Asian activity of getting drunk while watching the NRL grand final. When the Sharkies finally broke their 50-year duck to claim the trophy, Busan erupted in massive applause and people started wildly in the streets. Alright, they do that every evening over here, … Continue reading Escaping Korea
I had a wonderful time in Santorini earlier this year. I got heaps drunk, smashed some awesome food, bludged around in the sun and got some totty.
