    Guanajuato – Silver and death

    Posted on May 2, 2015 by noflytri in Mexico, Museums.

    Some images might be disturbing… Did you know the Mexicans are a bit weird about death? I did, thanks largely to the Mexican, Día de Muertos inspired computer game, Grim Fandango (which incidentally is excellent and you should play the recently released remastered version if you didn’t have the pleasure of the original back in the […]

    Take me down to Mexico City where the queues are long and the tacos are pretty (awesome)

    Posted on April 27, 2015 by noflytri in Mexico, Mexico City, Museums.

    Mexico City, known as DF to the locals, is Mexico’s sprawling mass of a city, choked with people but I actually chose a pretty good time to visit Mexico City, over the Easter Weekend when much of the city empties out as Mexicans head for the beach. Still I got a brief glimpse of its […]

    SCMAGLEV and Railway Park – Nagoya, Japan

    Posted on April 20, 2015 by noflytri in Japan, Museums, Photoblog, trains.

    Ever wonder what a train museum might look like if you had an insane amount of money to spend on it? It’d probably be something along the lines of the SCMAGLEV and Railway Park, in Nagoya, Japan. Make no mistake this is a far cry from the rusting hulks outside dilapidated engine sheds that I […]

    Turning Japanese…

    Posted on April 14, 2015 by noflytri in Japan.

    One of the recurring themes of this trip seems to be that whenever I go to a place with no or low expectations, I’ve ended up really enjoying it. Japan was one of these places. Japan is different Weird would be a less polite way of putting it.

    Atomic – Nagasaki and Hiroshima and remembering the Bomb(s)…

    Posted on April 4, 2015 by noflytri in Japan, Museums.

    Nagasaki and Hiroshima share the rather dubious honour of being the only places to see nuclear weapons used in anger against them, but they are actually two very different places with little else in common.

    Crossing the Pacific Ocean on a 100,000 tonne container ship

    Posted on March 30, 2015 by noflytri in Adventure, Boats, Top Experiences.

    So, I’ve made it! All the way to Mexico from Japan by sea on a container ship. Was it what I was expecting? Yes and no. Was it good? Yes Would I do it again? Yes (which is a reassuring answer as I will be crossing the Atlantic in little over 3 months time…)

  • Taking a Freighter Across the Pacific

    Posted on March 13, 2015 by noflytri in Adventure, Travel tips.

    So my plan has become to travel around the world without flying.  When I mention this to people one of the first questions I get is how will I get across the Oceans – and my answer has been to arrange passage on container ships to cross the worlds two greatest oceans. The first of […]

  • A year of travel!

    Posted on March 6, 2015 by noflytri in Photoblog, Top Experiences.

    So today, the 6th March 2015, marks 1 year from when I boarded a Eurostar at London St Pancras and left the UK behind.  At the time the plan was just to get to Japan and back.  And to be back by Christmas… Obviously things changed a bit since then – in a weeks time I […]

    Flying – sort of…..Shanghai’s Maglev train

    Posted on March 4, 2015 by noflytri in China, train journey's, trains.

    Ok, this post is obviously a bit late, but better late than never. In October last year during my time in Shanghai, I felt I could hardly miss out on riding the fastest form of land based public transport available. The Shanghai Maglev hits speeds of 431km an hour – which is fast. Very fast […]

    Korea Railroad Museum

    Posted on February 28, 2015 by noflytri in Korea, Museums, trains.

    So over 4 months after I visited my last rail museum in Hong Kong, way back at the start of October, I have finally found another one to visit in Seoul! Its about 30km south of Seoul centre, but a few stops on the subway north of the old capital and fortress site at Suwon, so […]
