Asia and the travelling bug

Friday, July 4th, 2008

I know I haven’t updated for ages - and sorry, but this isn’t going to be a biggie - but I was just doing a random jot down of all the flights I’ve been on since I came out to Asia - and as the list grew and grew, I realised I just had to write this down so as never to forget the insanity of it all.

It starts off simple enough, a few flights here and there - just wait until it hits 2007 …. and then the fun begins!

  • August 2005 - London > Shanghai
  • August 2005 - Shanghai > Tokyo
  • January 2006 - Tokyo > London (Transfer in Seoul)
  • February 2006 - London > Tokyo (Transfer in Seoul)
  • August 2006 - Tokyo > London (Transfer in Kuala Lumpur)
  • August 2006 - London > Tokyo (Transfer in Kuala Lumpur)
  • December 2006 - Tokyo > London
  • December 2006 - London > Tokyo
  • April 2007 - Osaka > Okinawa
  • April 2007 - Okinawa > Osaka
  • April 2007 - Osaka > Phuket (Transfer in Hong Kong)
  • April 2007 - Phuket > Hong Kong
  • April 2007 - Hong Kong > Taipei
  • April 2007 - Taipei > Osaka

  • May 2007 - Taipei > Osaka
  • June 2007 - Tokyo > Taipei
  • June 2007 - Taipei > Tokyo
  • July 2007 - Tokyo > Okinawa
  • August 2007 - Okinawa > Osaka

  • September 2007 - Bangkok > Phuket
  • October 2007 - Phuket > Tokyo
  • October 2007 - Tokyo > Taipei
  • December 2007 - Taipei > Hong Kong
  • December 2007 - Hong Kong > London
  • January 2008 - London > Amsterdam
  • January 2008 - Amsterdam > London

  • April 2008 - Taipei > Bangkok
  • April 2008 - Bangkok > Surat Thani
  • April 2008 - Koh Samui > Bangkok
  • April 2008 - Bangkok > Lahore
  • April 2008 - Lahore > Bangkok
  • May 2008 - Bangkok > Taipei
  • June 2008- Taipei > Bangkok
  • June 2008 - Bangkok > Taipei

So there you go 40 flights in total (46 including connections), however if you want to make it impressive, in the period of April 2007 > June 2008 (so 14 months) - I’ve been on 32 different flights!

I wonder what July will have in store for me !! :)
