Guess where I am After 15 months and 5 days, 2 parking fines, 3 surf boards, 4 countries, 7 time zones, 6637 digital photos I came back to where I started. Following a cab out of London back to Warwickshire – My parents put ballons out at their house in Warwickshire to welcome my return
Last Gasp of Overseas Living…for a bit Well the final few days in Canada were a lot of fun. The weather picked up considerably and it becamse actually nice and sunny, it was also pretty warm!! I have been ‘hanging out’ at Daria and Bijon’s house in downtown Halfiax and have been getting around the town
Antigonish This is Tofi, the dog that was found on a beach in Tofino by Diane that was lost and had no owner. Sometimes when he goes for a walk he doesn’t want to come in so plays dead outside the front door – Daria, Bijon and myself went on a
Surf Update Coogee Stylee I’m still going to do surf updates for Australia even though I’m not actually there. Check out this – © Ciaran Finnegan This was Coogee Beach two days ago. That is a BIG wave!! Also checkout the video to sitting, waiting, wishing by the man Jack Johnson. Pretty much rules.
Coming to London I will be in London, England on 13th June and I have nowhere to live. If you live in London can I stay at your house until I find somewhere to rent? Thanks in advance friends. Trying to remember exactly what I do I found out the other day that
Identical Twins I’ve finally found an internet cafe so here’s an update…. Keri and her family very nicely let me stay at their house for a couple of nights in Cloverdale. I chilled out with Ryan (Keri’s Brother) and watched some Hockey and Basketball in the basement. Ryan taught
Seeking Surf Therapist So after the unsuccessful surf experience I made my way back to downtown Vancouver where I saw a crowd of people queueing to get into the cinema to see the new star wars. They were dressed in their special geek clothes and one guy was even reading out Star Wars
Tofino Surf Not Happening I got on the boat to Vancouver Island at 9am, it takes one hour and goes at the speed of light through the water. The day started off real nice, I took this photograph of an Island that the boat went past, if it wasn’t for the harsh cold
Dennys’ is good times I just went onto Starbucks’ website and found out how many there were from the hotel I am staying in. There are 131 Starbucks within a 20 mile radius of my hotel, that is totally insane. I am making my own little collection of starbucks photos that I will put

Billy Corgan may have taken my advice A little while ago Billy Corgan, of Smashing Pumpkin fame, posted on his MySpace page that he wanted some advice as to where to go whilst he was in Europe and where would be a good place to meet up with people. I was in Australia at the time and
Have you got a nickel? I get concerned when I have walked more than half a block and Starbucks is not in sight. After having waffles and maple syrup with an apple for breakfast I headed out. Here I am enjoying a Starbucks Coffee in Starbucks whilst looking across the road at another Starbucks. I
Double Tall Skinny Latte Extra Hot To Go I woke up in Tokyo at about 10h30 Monday, got the train to the airport at 13h00, got on the plane at 17h35, had a 9 hour flight across the pacific ocean, and then landed at Vancouver airport at 10h30 on Monday. Two Mondays in a row is a bit
Yum? Went out for my last night of eating in Tokyo. I went to some random sushi place underneath a train bridge. It was ok although I couldn’t get the image of the guy getting fish out of the tank and then butchering them to death whilst I chewed on
Tokyo. Yes, We love. One thing wrong with Tokyo. I can’t find anywhere to buy fruit. I can’t find any where that sells food with fruit in. I managed to find a bannana at Starbucks. That is the only fruit I have eaten since Australia I think. Whilst in Japan let me
Tokyo Panorama Anhdres told me about this great tool from the University of British Columbia, it is called AutoStitch and is a free program and there are no complicated things you need to do. All you need is some pictures that have some kind of common connection to one another to create
Sushi Ueno Asakusa Welcome back to G2007!!! At last I have got it working again to its normal state. Thanks very much to Mr Anhdres for making the Japan orientated banner for the site. It rules, take a look at his site it is truely amazing. So last night I ate this – Andy
New Camera This is my electronic shopping finished. I have a new camera, a Nikon D70s, its beautiful. Although I am still working it out
I heart Tokyo I really like Tokyo and I don’t really know why. Maybe it is because the people don’t seem to hassel you and the service is great. You can walk into an electronics shop and play with all the stuff and no one will bother you unless you talk
Tekken 5 I know I thought I did not have jet lag but that was clearly wrong. After having a lay down at 18h00, I thought I was in for a 1 hour nap; I woke up 7 hours later! So I have still not seen Japan at night, that is planned
Very Lost in Translation So this is the temporary home of g2007 as that is broken for the foreseeable future. Which is ashame, but I will port all these entries over to it when I get it working again! The night before I left a load of us went out to the Fitzroy and
Directions Tokyo Style Thank you Henrietta for giving me directions to the hotel. I think McDonalds is going to be my base from where I measure all distances and locations. Check out this funky map!! – I have come to the decision to leave my surfboard behind in Australia (thanks Charmaine for looking after
Leaving Party and talking dog Are you considering buying or adopting a dog? If so then you’ll want to stock up on dog supplies such as dog collars, dog harnesses, and dog toys. Don’t forget about cleaning supplies! Dog shampoos and grooming supplies are necessary to keep your dog squeaky clean. Cathy Freeman,
Hanging up the Board Well, here it is, a retired Australian surf board at Bronte Beach. I am so glad I got into this sport, it is possibly the only one that I have ever taken seriously – The waves were very full at Bronte today so it was really hard to get onto them.
