Melbourne 2015

On an early Saturday morning our alarms went off and all we wanted to do was stay in bed but we couldn't. We had a flight to catch so we could spend the next few days in Melbourne for our seven year anniversary.

We arrived at the airport and went through the standard checkpoints for our flights without a hitch. An hour or so later and a pretty rough landing we were in Mexico! I mean Melbourne. It's been 4 years since we last visited and it was such a refreshing getaway.

I instantly fell in love with the place; the people, the shops, the atmosphere. It was just all so chilled and laid back, the complete opposite to Sydney. Honestly, I think Melbourne is the Osaka of Australia. I now am thinking of moving to Melbourne, we'll just have to wait and see if I can score a job down there and I think that's all it will take for me to make the move. But that's something Future-Steven can worry about.

For now just enjoy some of the photos I took when I was down there courtesy of my iPhone 4S.

Honda Collection Hall - Twin Ring Motegi

A few months ago we embarked on a journey to the land of the rising sun and one of the highlights from the trip was visiting the Honda Collection Hall at Twin Ring Motegi. I was being the ultimate fan boy marvelling over everything Honda from a super clean Honda City (accompanied with a Motocomp of course) with less than 100km on the odometer to Tsuchiya's JTGC NSX. It got even better when it transitioned to the Formula 1 section of the museum. I present to you my photos from the Honda Collection Hall.

Malaysia 2012

Well it's about time I've gotten around to going through my photos from my last holiday, and this time it wasn't Japan haha, it was actually Malaysia and Thailand for a change. I know I've left this for a while but 6 months isn't actually too bad considering my record of late uploads. It was quite nice to go through these photos again, it jogged a lot of nice memories and it made me realised that I enjoyed Malaysia a lot more than I thought it would. All I can say was that I ate a lot of food, I mean A LOT of food. I also managed to meet up with Peter and Yan-Ying, who are my kendo buddies from my days with USYD Kendo and it was great to hang with them and thanks to them again for taking us around to see and eat all the amazing food Malaysia had to offer. The photo above is the view from their apartment in KL.
