Apart from the California one, I could have written this list – especially Japan and Ethiopia! I already did highway 101 from Seattle to San Fran and that was pretty amazing, but more California than I will ever need again!

So, when are we leaving??

“Little known fact – I almost moved there after college with a web job in Tokyo”

Little known fact about me – I studied Japanese in college (UL) in a series of modules which focused as much on culture as language. I was totally gearing myself up to pursue a career in electronic engineering there but the pity was my general results didn’t match up to my Japanese results and so it never happened…. unlike a friend and classmate who did exactly that, married a Japanese girl and is now happily settled in the country (in fact he’s quite a celebrity in his neighbourhood due to his standout red hair

I still think Japan would have very much appreciated on my behalf.

I used to work on the Ethiopian Airlines Global Ad account and Addis is amazing but when the poverty hits it’s like nothing else on earth. Most memorable were people collecting dripping rain water from a bank just after a light drizzle.

Electric Town is nuts. I was in Japan when I was 16 – in a previous incarnation as an International Mathlete, I shit you not. I was sent over with five other teenagers and two adults we didn’t know who didn’t supervise us! There’s a blog in that! But anyway… – and Akihabara was my favourite bit of it. There’s just such a mega sub-culture that it’s not even a sub-culture but pure mainstream. There were arcades there where I literally couldn’t hear myself think, and that’s no word of a lie.

I’d go back in a heartbeat.
