Busan, South Korea

On June 2, 2019June 8, 2019 By WeezeXChristinaIn AsiaLeave a comment

Before moving out of Asia later this year I wanted to do a few more weekend city trips. I’d visited North Korea in 2013, so decided to check out the South. I didn’t really gravitate towards any particular city so when a few friends recommended Busan, I  said alright, & found a cheap flight there. This …

Palau Palau. Wow wow wow.

‘I love diving but I don’t think I ever look as happy as I see you when I look at your eyes underwater!’ Deco Joe, to me. I looked down, and there it was; through the hundreds of spawning red snapper - my first Bull Shark. Unmistakable with its square snout and thick, sturdy body, …

Tokyo.

On March 9, 2019March 20, 2019 By WeezeXChristinaIn Asia2 Comments

Seeing a hardcore band in Japan was on my wish list of things to do during my time living back in Asia. So when Earth Crisis & Sect announced their Japanese tour it felt like a gift I couldn't refuse. I’d never had any real desire to visit the Japanese capital, and I’d heard Osaka was …

#MyFirstLiveaboard, Diving in Komodo

On September 26, 2018October 11, 2020 By WeezeXChristinaIn Asia, Scuba & Underwater4 Comments

The Diving. Let's start with the diving. Cause it's always about the diving. The reason I decided to face my fears of strong currents and book a liveaboard during full moon, when the currents are in fact at their strongest. So, was it worth it? I clearly survived, but did I enjoy myself?  Fuck yeh …

Sharp Island & Tap Mun (Grass Island) – Sai Kung

On August 5, 2018August 12, 2018 By WeezeXChristinaIn Asia, Hong Kong2 Comments

Sharp Island I needed to get out of the city and into the water, but wanted a little more adventure than my usual 20 minute bus to Repulse Bay - run to Deep Water Bay - collapse in the water for a couple of hours. I’d seen signs for snorkelling at Sharp Island when I first …

Go-en on in Kyoto. Pedalling.

On May 29, 2018May 30, 2018 By WeezeXChristinaIn AsiaLeave a comment

After a decent nights sleep I woke up excited to be getting back on a bike. Caught the 207 bus towards Kyoto Train Station and 25 minutes later I was at the Cycle Kyoto office. I had chosen the 'North Tour' mainly because it covered more sights that the 'South Tour' rather than actually knowing …

Kickin’ it in Kyoto

On May 28, 2018May 28, 2018 By WeezeXChristinaIn AsiaLeave a comment

After not having much initial interest in visiting Japan before this year, I booked my flights back, this time to Kyoto, within a week of landing home from Hiroshima and Miyajima, my first trip in January. I thought it was such a beautiful, interesting country I had to go back and explore more. When I'd asked …

Miyajima

On February 5, 2018February 5, 2018 By WeezeXChristinaIn Asia, Memorial & Politics, World War I/World War II4 Comments

When I left my hostel on Monday morning my heart sank a little. I was prepared for the cold, even for a few short showers, but with the dark, grey skies raining down a mix of rain and snow that wasn't going to settle, I just foresaw myself being very wet, and very cold all …

Hiroshima

On February 1, 2018February 2, 2018 By WeezeXChristinaIn Asia, Memorial & Politics, World War I/World War II5 Comments

Despite being asked many times in my life about what it was like growing up in Japan, I'd never been to the Land of the Rising Sun before. My reason for visiting Hiroshima, unsurprising to anyone that knows me, was the due to it being the place of denotation of the world's first Atomic Bomb. …

Tai Po Market – Historical Walk

On December 10, 2017June 26, 2018 By WeezeXChristinaIn Asia, Hong Kong2 Comments

I always knew Tai Po existed as a place, and perhaps I'd been there as a kid, but I can't remember how it made it on my 'Hong Kong day trip' list. Having done it now, I definitely know why it was put on there. A guided walk around Tai Po Market came on the …

I know personally periods, and my menstrual cycle are not something I have given enough attention too - despite doing so much active learning about my mental and physical health - especially in the last decade - but aside from acknowledging I’d be a little more emotional ‘for no reason,’ or crave chocolate that little bit more I was so blasé about it all and in all honestly tried to fight against it. I think I only allowed myself to accept PMS was a thing in my early 30s. And only in the last couple of years did I even both tracking my cycle (with an app.) After being on the pill on and off for decades, then not even having one for 6 months after coming off it entirely, I paid my menstrual cycle almost no attention.
In 2005 I got a chunk of money back after paying Emergency Tax without realising. So, I did the sensible thing & went to SE Asia for 6 weeks - to Laos, Cambodia & Vietnam for the first time. They have changed so much since - whether this is good or bad is not for me to say, there are so many variables/issues - but, I am SO grateful to have visited when it was a little less on the backpack track - so many funny memories & terrible, terrible hostels - being on a night bus in Laos trying to wedge myself into the back row so I didn’t fall on to the guy in the middle of the aisle on a plastic stool with an AK47 is a stand out memory 🤣 it’s crazy - I have almost no photos - before smartphones & just rocking up a hostel hoping they’d have a bed, every few days finding an Internet cafe to tell parents we were ok. In Luang Prabang we rented a little apartment & had a cocktail party on the terrace 😂 (in reality two bare rooms with a few beds - cocktails being local beer - still, it felt fancy...) Spent my birthday scuba diving with Black tip sharks off Koh Phi Phi - not that long after the Tsunami, so the island was only small huts and rebuilding itself from the devastation 💔 (still I managed to get lost one night walking home on the ONE road...) South East Asia is breathtakingly beautiful full of amazing friendly people - with an incredibly interesting, but often very tragic history. So grateful for every moment I’ve spent there & hope one day to go back. 🇱🇦 🇰🇭 🇻🇳 🇹🇭
Happy Birthday Rambu! You absolute incredible human - one of my total rocks - always cheering me on, lifting me up, inspiring me in what you say and what you do, and just you being you - influencing me!! Hehe. Thanks for the birthday FIIT class... Love you so much & missing you from the other side of London!! Have a fabulous day & can’t wait to see your face and adventure again... 🥰💖💎🌏 @chaosrach

Happy Birthday my super awesome amazing SOM twin! 👁 I miss talking over you, and being talked over. I miss finishing each other sentences, talking about everything ever. Laughing so hard about the dumbest stuff. Here’s to you & being one of the best humans I know 💙💛Love you. Bosnia (& Herzegovina) 4EVA🇧🇦
