The End

It was an amazing adventure and now it's over. This site will be preserved where you see it for now. Feel free to browse the archives. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

In terms of the site, I'm proud that it stood up just fine. Some things didn't work – video and audio – but that's a technical difficulty I'll resolve for the next big adventure.

Bon voyage,
Greg

Familiar building?

This building looks oddly familiar. Where could I be right now? ;)

Entering Hong Kong

At some point before arriving in Hong Kong I remembered to look out the window and check out the countryside. The difference between Shanghai and here is dramatic. Here it is clearly obvious we're in a tropical climate. For the first time since I left Australia two years ago I'm seeing palm trees and banana trees growing in the wild.
For some reason it feels reassuring, as does the tropical heat I can sense through the window glass. I'm looking forward to it...

Shanghai last days

My train to Hong Kong is booked for Sunday. It takes about 26 hours but after 6 days on a train, one day is nothing.
I'll decide on Hong Kong accommodation tomorrow - probably spend two nights there and book a flight to Australia for mid-week.
I haven't found anything I want to buy in Shanghai, so it looks like I'll be doing all my shopping in HK. If you're in Australia and want me to get you something while I'm here then please email me your requests now!

Nextage

2nd largest department store in the world and the biggest in Asia: Nextage. It's really big. From what I could figure out, the fountain outside was timed to music by the Backstreet Boys.
