Don't worry mate. I have a huge failure rate.

What's that old saying? "If you don't shoot....you'll probably get away with a six month suspended sentence"

Canada - Growing up, high school, family and all that good stuff. Too much and too gory to recount

Japan - smelly, burping, horking salarymen on the train, drunks (or maybe not so) men peeing openly in the street, great sushi, 100Yen shops, 280 bar, 2 years of he!! at Nova, The Golden Temple at Kyoto, Hiroshima

South Korea - First time, the little dive bar where I drank with a bunch of Canadian men for a night, the markets, and Soeul Tower. Second time, the little pub near the hostel where my friend and I could by little kegs of beer for the table. KEGS!!! Oh yeah and a sickening bus ride to the airport the next day.

China - Being asked for my picture a million times by absolute strangers, peking Duck, The Wall and a torturous climb from Jinshaling, the hawkers in the street, $1 DVD's in Shanghai.

Malaysia - The ferry that conked out mid trip over in the middle of the water, a motorbike ride at 2am with the poolside bartender (no helmet), seeing where the movie Anna and the king was filmed, the bartender

Thailand - falling and breaking my wrist on Xmas day, spending 6 hours in a Thai hospital, elephant ride (pre-fall)

Australia - Sydney - The harbour and the Bridge and the Opera House, seeing a Shakespearean production in the Opera House, Blue Mountains and the old folks tour I ended up stuck on.
Brisbane - Trivia with friends and not knowing when the Canadian flag became red & white with the maple leaf, meeting G and all that followed.
Cairns - seeing a sea turtle up close and personal while snorkelling, having some schmuck spray me with tartar sauce while standing in line for the lunch buffet

Russia - 25 year old sports Doctor! hee hee... Being in a private train carriage with some old, coganc drinking guy, ST Petersburgh - sitting on the side of the Neva at noon when the Cannons go off (and I didn't know that was about to happen). Moscow and all that amazing things there and my great mate Lou.

Shenzhen - Being asked to pay for boys for the night and being offered any drug under the sun, running away from a cabbie who almost killed us and then expected full payment.

Rather boring compared with the boy's stories. I need to get to more places. Will let you know how New Zealand and Vietnam pan out next year!
