Let's sing...

You can't come to Tokyo without visiting a karaoke. A  tremendous songs catalog will allow you to perform in place of The Beatles, Green Day or Muse... We carry on with our exploration of Tokyo, zen city, through its parks, temples, towers and autumn colors gardens. Tomorrow, "Aligato" and "Sayonara" Tokyo, "Kon'nichiwa" Kyoto. "Gomennasai" all for not having posted sooner.

In the Empire of the Rising Sun ...

... nothing stops you from admiring the sunset especially when you can do it standing on the 45th level of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government featuring, as a guest star, Mount Fuji. Since our arrival, we have been able to not get lost in an extremely complex public transport network, to assimilate multiple functions and yet awesome Japanese toilets (heated seat, music, integrated water jet, etc.) and to familiarize ourselves with the basics of Japanese language. Despite a permanent state of turmoil, we are impressed by the tranquility in the Japanese capital - except maybe these weird casinos, noisy and smoky, in which players have replaced the chips with small steel balls : the famous "Pachinko" - as well as the cleanliness that reigns supreme in this megalopolis. Two observations which could partly explain the famous "Paris Syndrome".

Last days in Bali

After a few days visiting temples such as Tirta Empul or Gunung Kawi, to marvel at the rice terraces, to play Indiana Jones in the rainforest in search of the waterfall where you can swim forgetting the high warmth, to imagine we're Jacques Cousteau snorkeling among the infinite amount of fishes, we'll soon be back in the northern hemisphere with more familiar temperatures to us  for this month of the year :  we will be in Tokyo on Monday morning.

For a few "millions" more!

One of the first sensations when you arrive in Bali is to feel rich: our first cash withdrawal was one million! You'll then have to get used to driving a scooter in the middle of a horde of crazy drivers, practice body boarding and prepare your stomach to endure spicy food. In the end, a lot of new sensations and not so much time to update a blog. Tomorrow, we move towards Ubud to enjoy the "rice terrace" landscapes.

From popular demand ...

... here is a picture of the both of us from front ;-)

As you can see, we safely traveled to Bali, but without any time to add pictures. Don't worry, we will soon correct this.

King [of Hong] Kong

Hundreds of buildings among the mountains, banks next to dried ducks for sale in the markets, shops opened until 11pm even on Sundays, lights everywhere, that's Hong Kong. Peoples crawling all around and yet you feel like a king ... a King of Hong Kong!

Once upon "1Time" becomes "0Time"

Bad surprise when arriving to Cape Town airport at 3am, our flight has been canceled. The low cost airline company "1time" just applied for business liquidation and all flights has been grounded without any refund. First big stress moment of our adventure and our wallets now lighter. It would have been so easy to stop selling tickets while ensuring the continuity of flights. Finally, we found another flight to Joburg without breaking the schedule.
