Ele-vation

Well, here I am back in my favourite blogging spot, Hong Kong airport, and it makes me realise that I have not been giving as much time of late to tapping away at the keyboard - or this keyboard at least.

It's probably quite dull to read that it has been a busy couple of months - yeah it is, Jonathan - but here I am at the start of July and heading back for my sister's wedding! Blam. The thing on the fringe of my radar has run up and slapped me in the face. Well, I am more than certain this week will be simply magic. I have oodles of good food, drink and people lined up, some introduction to wakeboarding that I am sure will fill my sister with glee when she sees me smash into the water, and catching up with several dozen family members that I have not seen in ... wow ... quite a few years. It should be bloody marvellous.

The next post will be from ground level, staring at clouds from the garden, French beer stubby in hand. Roll on CX 255!

Beer Flavour Green Tea

While eating dinner at the local street-side live shrimp vendor next to the brothel and gangster hang out, we went to grab some drinks at the local 7-11 ... all I can say, kids, is don't try this at home. Sweet beer-flavoured tea is positively disgusting.

Grey Days in Taipei

I had a day wandering the streets in the rain last weekend, and it was well worth checking out some of the nooks and crannies of Taipei that I have not returned to in a while. It has been seriously pissing it down for months now (without much exaggeration) with a seemingly daily shower timed to coincide with leaving the office. Its really getting a bit boring and predictable!
