      On Tuesday I set out for the Kanreki, dressed in appropriately red attire.

      This was the luggage. The big, green bag is full of gear to shift at the Kanreki. The three packing cubes are what I'll be wearing.

      First stop: Guangzhou. I spent six hours waiting for a connection. There's nothing at the airport.

      Traditional Chinese dining!

      This healthy living shop sold spirits and chocolate. :o

      After another twelve hour flight, I had another six hour layover in Paris. I decided that there were better things to do than hang around a departure lounge…

      The reason I went into Paris was that I needed new socks. Mes Chaussettes Rouges are one of those little, specialist shops you here about…

        Thanks @neph93 wish i could have made it out and met everyone. And by "met" i mean hangout on the outskirts drink beer, smoke cigarettes and take in the IH porn that would have been on display.

        Still on my bucketlist is to visit IH Tokyo and Gosport.

        Cheers! 

          That would have been very cool to meet you. Another time though. Also, this may be the first time anyone has ever written these words in this order [emoji1]:

            @Graeme: Literally the road to Kanreki. Great post although I don't envy you your journey (except for the Parisian interlude, I bloody love that town).

              @neph93 I've only ever passed through Paris, but am starting to see the appeal.

              I did think about making a similar run into Guangzhou, but I was there between 7 pm and midnight, so the timing wasn't great.

              No one should envy that journey…

                            The Bad Mango is by Norway's own mad beer proffessors Cervisiam. A 7.5 ABV IPA utilising mango pulp. Should have taken a pic of the glass as it was a mad colour cloudy af. I enjoyed it.

                              it's not too bad. i stop over in singapore to catch up with friends and family for a few days before my onward flight. so it's not that painful of a journey..

                                        As the crow flies my trip is relatively short. But seeing as the fekking crow might not be flying at all because the crow's pilots are bellends, this could be an adventure (or a disaster). At the mo' I'm looking at an 18 hour train journey to Oslo on the off chance that I can get on another airline's flight to the UK [emoji28]
