Chasing 100 countries.
Not getting my family any Christmas presents this year.

Instead I've decided to lie under the Christmas tree and remind them that I'm the gift.

Did a good deed this morning at my local Woolies.

At the checkout there was an old lady at the till. Her bill came to $58.85 but when she was counting all her change it only came to $19.00.

I knew she was probably someones Mum or Nan and I would like to think 1/2 someone

Tonight is going to be dedicated to watching the best Christmas movie of all time.

Die Hard.

Got sad news today. After 7 years of medical training, my good friend has been struck off after 1 minor indiscretion. He slept with 1 of his patients & now can no longer work in the job he loves. What a waste of time, training & money. A genuinely nice guy, and a brilliant vet.

And that's a wrap. Flying home in two hours on Singapore Business class.

This has easily been my best ever trip to Japan filled with so many amazing experiences.

A lovely stay a few days ago at Conrad Osaka.

Lobby is on the 40th floor and views from the hotel are stunning.

It's a bit of a shock after being in smaller towns and cities for ten days or so and coming into Osaka.

Didn't ride on this one this morning but how cool is the Kodama Hello Kitty Shinkansen from Okayama to Shin-Osaka

Kurashiki and the beautiful Bikan Historical Quarter.

So I'm leaving Kyushu tomorrow after 12 days and it's been an incredible journey.
The island has so much to offer and I've only scratched the surface.
Such incredibly diverse landscapes, amazing food and of course people.
Overnight in Matsuyama 1/2

Another big highlight of the trip so far was visiting Mt Aso and getting to see the crater.

Smell is utterly horrific but what an experience.

The whole Aso area is stunning.

Went to this super local Mom and Pop restaurant for dinner tonight to have Hambagu.

Whole set plus a bottle if beer was just under $15.80.

Oishi.

Just shipped a suitcase to Osaka using the famous Yamato shipping company here.

Fingers crossed it arrives okay!

This ramen was fantastic tonight.

Chilli paste added a good kick plus the $3 beer went down a treat.

Sunset into night at the summit or Mt Inasa Nagasaki

On Sunday I visited Gunkanjima, an island 20km from Nagasaki and a former coal mine once home to some 5300 people and the island is tiny.

You might recognise it as Raoul Silva's lair in Skyfall.
