I’ve collected all of my travel writings here. I’ve written up two of my overseas travels so far: here’s hoping that this godforsaken pandemic ends so that I can write more.
Australia 2018
Southern Crossings
Prologue/Rationale
In which I explain why I’m doing this again, after having bored everyone with one about Europe.
Sydney/NSW
Day 1
In which the journey begins and I discover the joys of BABA GHANOUSH
Day 2
In which the girls look into a mine and we get hit by typhoon winds… down under.
Day 3
In which we have trouble finding fireworks after four tragically becomes three.
Day 4
In which my friends freeze in another city while I do something infinitely more pleasant.
Day 5
In which a French phrase brilliantly describes two HKers’ Australian day out.
Melbourne
Intermission
In which I stay at home.
Queensland
Day 6
In which three becomes two becomes one, and I visit a very boring place.
Day 7
In which I go to a theme park and have the best time of my life… somewhere else.
Day 8
In which I jump out of the frying pan and into the fire. Also, I complain about rain a lot.
Day 9
In which I go to a beach by the river and decide I quite like Brisbane after all.
Day 10
In which I spend a day at a mountain with a very cute name, and then go home to freeze.

Prague
Day 4
In which we travel to Prague and Dennis expresses his admiration for certain girls.
Day 5
In which we explore Prague together and Dennis continues to express his admiration for certain girls.

Berlin
Day 7

Epilogue
In which I try to wrap things up.
