    A bit of humour

    After a tiring day, a commuter settled down in his seat and closed his eyes. As the train rolled out of the station, a woman sitting next to him pulled out her mobile phone. She started talking in a loud voice: “Hi sweetheart. It’s Sue. I’m on the train”. “Yes, I know it’s the 6:30 and not the...

    Japanuary 2024 - the trip that nearly wasn't

    Thanks Seat 0B? My plan is to go to more out of the way places, mainly because my major interest is ceramics, so that will help but I do want to go to Kyoto etc. I suppose it's a bonus that the ceramic villages/towns are almost always outside the busy cities. Shigaraki and Bizen are high on...

    Trains of Japan - A Review Thread

    Re translation - I know Google is not all that wonderful but there is a good app from South Korea -Naver papago. I use it for English to Korean as that's where I usually am but they also do Japanese. The Korean version is really good and so I imaging the Japanese one is likely to be as...

    Dodging disasters in Korea and Japan

    There are a lot of lovely places in the south so if possible spend longer and move out of Busan city as well. If you are up for hiring a car, the driving is easy outside cities but a bit manic in the main cities.

    WA WAnderings

    We did a similar run last September but added a leg up to Qld for a quick teaching job. It's been years since I have done the Nullabor but it's a good run these days. Would have liked a bit extra time but such is life. We also went and came back on the back roads and up through Salmon gums.

    Denali Demo and Rebuild

    We only have rainwater - 2 large tanks. Then we also have another large one that fills from a shed and soak for garden use. So we use rainwater for all our laundry. It's great. The water is so good to drink and we have lots of friends wanting to take stocks of it away when they visit...

    Seoul to Seoul (Hopefully not Couldn't Stand the Weather)

    I love the stream walk and do it every visit. Also the 2 markets for mung bean pancakes - prefer Namdaemun for that but wouldn't pass up Gwangjang ones. Lots and lots of socks in Namdaemun as well.
