Warning: mahoosive blog entry ahead. Make yourselves comfortable

My rest and recuperation time is over.
Next week I return to faraway lands, and return to my adventures.
My journey this time takes me first to Hong Kong, where I’ll have four days to explore the area before my connecting flight takes me onwards to Hanoi, Vietnam. After that…who knows? The world, once again, is my [...]
