We stumbled across a really quaint temple in Seoul today, and it was having it's annual chrysanthemum festival. Everything was adorned with pretty little flowers, even the Buddhas!

Ironic that the only major western economy with no public health care system is set to deny visas to people with pre-existing health issues.

So from what I can tell, if you're fat use, the elevator, if you're regular sized, use the stairs. 😯

Seems that the Pea Lobby (or Big Pea) are trying to muscle in on Avocado territory!!
It's going to be a hard sell I have to say, so I hope those pea farmers have deep pockets! 😂
Swap avocado for a cheaper and tastier green veg that pairs better on toast - Mirror Online share.google/vwPM4lQMKXH6...

With rain continuing to fall, the #RedCrabMigration on #ChristmasIsland is active and alive. Millions of crabs know where they want to go alas obstacles abound in this case the kids school. Crabs find their way and CI kids share their day in a unique way at this time of year.

Did you know polar bears have blue / black tongues!?
Know one really knows why. Polar bear cubs start off with pink tongues and within the first year they have turned black.
We saw this guy poking his tongue out just before he got chased away by conservation officers in Churchill 😂

Man, you don't realise how annoying a country full of stop signs is until you drive in a country with proper flow management.
Canada was really frustrating to drive in. Stop signs everywhere. You drive, stop, go, stop, go stop - even if no cars are coming.
Now we are in England again and the

So Microsoft kills Skype in May this year removing my ability to make & receive phone calls, keeping my ~$100 in credit that was in the account, and now is sending me emails about reactivating my credit that I can't even use!

The Canadians have been very happy talking about baseball today!
It's possible that the Toronto Bluejay's might win the Two Nations Cup baseball this year!

Found a terrific real Japanese restaurant for our last meal in Canada.
This was the days bento box, complete with an amazing miso black cod (sablefish).
I say 'real' because of the few we have been to in Canada, about 50% of them were run by Chinese 😜

Vancouver must be one of the few major cities in the world that doesn't have a motorway, or at least a highway, to the airport from the city. It's so ridiculous that you have to drive on a suburban road and spend 40 minutes to go 15km.

We were so enamored by the polar bears, and also disappointed that we didn't get to walk outside with any, that we just put ourselves on the wait list for den emergence quest (to see mamas come out with their cubs).
Wait list is for 2028, but we probably won't get in until 2029! 😜

While we were watching the bear at the buildings the bear control officers turned up to scare it away. They had multiple vehicles and quad bikes to chase and steer him. They used shotguns with cartridges that shoot like fireworks to make a load noise, sparks of light and smoke.

This was the second bear we saw in Churchill. He was hanging out in front of some old buildings at the edge of town. Poor guy was really quite skinny, hoping that ice forms soon!
