Only MEL-SYD-SIN-TPE-KUL-SIN-KUL-TPE-NRT to go!

Thread 'China - Tibet Autonomous Region and a bit of Japan on the way home'

May 14, 2025

Time for another mid-year trip to some place MrsM and to a lesser degree MissM do not have much interest in visiting. This year it’s Tibet (西藏自治区 Xīzàng Zìzhìqū) which is a place I have wanted to visit but things got in the way. The plan is to update this report along the way but I have no idea what the internet may be like or what restrictions I my run into so it could be hit and miss.

I had all but given up on Tibet however in mid 24 when visa exempt travel was announced it was back on the cards. I have wanted to go to Tibet for some time and have done previous research which I will...

Just to let you know I will not be joining you this weekend.

I came down with a lurgy 2 days after coming back from Adelaide and now 7 days later very few signs of recovery I am going to have to pull the pin.

Just chatting to the TA to see what I can salvage and I might head to Japan in a few months.

I am sorry to hear that. I hope you are on the mend soon and we will raise a glass to you.

Good luck with the TA. I think I am flying out of NRT again on 1/12. If our paths cross we can recreate the crawl.
