So, I lied. I’m online right now from 38000ft somewhere over Russia, the clouds are beautiful, the internet is omnipresent and my geeking has reached a whole new level. I’m here for 30-40 minutes as I have to sign off the service before my battery dies or they’ll keep charging me (nice business strategy Boeing)!

Sitting in the horribly branded Yahoo internet cafe at Tokyo Narita airport, only 15 hours until I touch British soil again, and the past three weeks are already starting to wear off. thoughts of house hunting, dissertation writing and actually packing and moving house are pushing away the memories of floating motionless over hundreds of fish swimming around the Great Barrier Reef.

I have plenty of images to Flickr when I get back and five rolls of film to develop. I’m also bringing back japanese delights for those that asked and cheap cigarettes for those that didn’t. Will probably be online later tonight (I land at 4pm, back home by 6pm) in order to catch up with the latest house hunting news, if anyone out there has a lovely 4 bedroom house to rent in London - chat me up!
