Greenpossum in 2010: The end of empire

http://www.green-possum-2010.blogspot.com/2010/09/end-of-empire.html

My trip to Hokkaido and Hong Kong. Tuesday, September 28, 2010. The end of empire. I remember reading somewhere that Jan Morris booked her accommodation for the 1997 handback. Of Hong Kong years in advance. That's a credible story, because she started her reportage career not long after WWII and she would have been writing for about 50 years by then, so it was also a personal milestone. I think some pundit computed that after the handback, if some obscure posession, perhaps it was Diego Garcia. Travel is...

Greenpossum in 2010: Daisetsuzan 1

http://www.green-possum-2010.blogspot.com/2010/09/daisetsuzan-1.html

My trip to Hokkaido and Hong Kong. Friday, September 10, 2010. Since I would be taking the 0830 train to Sapporo changing for Asahikawa then a bus to Daisetsuzan, I would have to get up early. The time was imposed on me by the last of 3 bus services up the mountain. However this was no hardship because the sun rises early, around 0500, and I had to get breakfast outside the hostel. I changed to a bus. This city has the distinction of being the coldest place in Japan, because it's near the centre of H...

Greenpossum in 2010: Sobetsu fruit village

http://www.green-possum-2010.blogspot.com/2010/09/sobetsu-fruit-village.html

My trip to Hokkaido and Hong Kong. Tuesday, September 7, 2010. Since the bus to Noboribetsu Onsen that crosses a beautiful mountain pass doesn't seem to operate anymore, probably due to lack of custom, I had to replace that day's visit to a sulphurous valley with some other activity. I decided to take the Sōbetsu fruit farm walk. I walked east along the lake shore. The islands in the middle of this caldera lake were always in view, though a bit hazy.

Greenpossum in 2010: In transit

http://www.green-possum-2010.blogspot.com/2010/09/in-transit.html

My trip to Hokkaido and Hong Kong. Friday, September 3, 2010. Except for the bilingual signs, HK airport transit could be in any modern airport in the world. As we had landed around 0505, the terminals were fairly deserted and the people there were waiting for transfers. The shops were not open. There are still temperature sensing cameras at the gateways, a reminder of the SARS. Epidemic and later the avian flu alerts that gripped HK. HK airport has free WiFi and I used it to pass some time. The end of e...

Greenpossum in 2010: The Peak

http://www.green-possum-2010.blogspot.com/2010/09/peak.html

My trip to Hokkaido and Hong Kong. Tuesday, September 28, 2010. Only a few things left to do today: get a haircut, take a look out of the 43rd floor of the Bank of China, where there is supposed to have a good view, have yum cha at Maxim's at City Hall, go up the Peak. Watch sunset there, then have dinner and catch the express to the airport. That phallic looking building is 2 IFC (International Finance Centre). Local wits call it Sir YK Pao's Errection, after the owner of the company that built it&#...

Greenpossum in 2009: September 2009

http://green-possum-2009.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html

My trip to Brazil, Portugal (mainland and Madeira), Madrid, Paris. Wednesday, September 30, 2009. Of course, it really means fierce dog. So you might want to be wary of dishes like spag bol in Brazil. But in the story, first I have to arrive here, so bear with me. In the morning, I paid my hotel bill. I find that they only take Visa so I say Pago á vista. Which you see here. This vehicle has doors for every row and no windows. In total the journey took over 7 hours. The pousada I have chosen is quite nic...

My trip to Brazil, Portugal (mainland and Madeira), Madrid, Paris. Saturday, October 31, 2009. I have one day in Paris to see the beautiful Parisian women, er I mean, the beautiful Parisian landmarks. Anyway it looks like half the women here are tourists. No, make that about 90% from the number of cameras being whipped out. The last is a reworking of Olympia by Manet. So the French do have a sense of humour. Friday, October 30, 2009. Security for the AVE for Atocha includes X-raying of luggage. I don...

http://green-possum-2009.blogspot.com/2009/10/madrid.html

My trip to Brazil, Portugal (mainland and Madeira), Madrid, Paris. Thursday, October 29, 2009. The Hotel Miau is very nice. Probably the best accommodation I will have this trip. Paris will cost more and probably be less comfy. I deserve some luxury at the end of this trip. Besides, how could I resist a name like Miau? They even have a pixellated cat for a logo. Puerta del Sol is where all distances in Spain are measured from and there is a Km 0 marker on the ground. There seem to be a lot of anti-GF...

http://green-possum-2009.blogspot.com/2009/10/cbdg.html

My trip to Brazil, Portugal (mainland and Madeira), Madrid, Paris. Sunday, November 1, 2009. Charles de Gaulle airport should really have a 4-letter acronym so we fix that by inserting the great Aussie adjective. Terminal 2 is more conventional but rather strung out, like a chain of beads. I can't comment on Terminal 3 because I didn't use it. To be fair, the metro and RER B did deliver me to CdG comfortably and speedily. They do trains well in France.

My trip to Brazil, Portugal (mainland and Madeira), Madrid, Paris. Sunday, November 1, 2009. I will pass this way but once. If I may turn this phrase to another use. To every local who helped me gain my bearings, or overlooked my massacre of your language while trying to communicate: obrigado e felicidade.

http://green-possum-2009.blogspot.com/2009/09/polvo-grelhado.html

My trip to Brazil, Portugal (mainland and Madeira), Madrid, Paris. Wednesday, September 16, 2009. Afé Guarany because the period decor looked fascinating. Incidentally FC Porto lost to Chelsea FC 1-0. There was a big screen in Guarany. Most of the diners were obviously visitors to Porto. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The AVE leaves at 1330 so I have time to explore a couple of the plazas. South of Huertas where I am staying is Lavapies. ( Lavapies t. An interesting pair of gender signs. After doing...

Greenpossum in 1997

My trip to France, Portugal and South America (Brazil, Argentina and Chile) in 1997. Friday, November 14, 1997. I caught bus 86 to the airport and spent the rest of my pesos on a sandwich and a drink. We were a little late departing. A few hours into the flight, in the small hours of the morning, we had a refueling stop at Rio Gallegos. Was one of the pioneers in the opening up of routes to Patagonia, and his experiences formed the basis of his novel Night Flight. Labels: Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. It was...

My trip to Turkey in 2000. Sunday, July 2, 2000. I woke at 0500 and went up to the roof to watch the sunrise, and the still lit Aya Sofya and Blue Mosque against the daybreak. Then I went back to stretch the time until breakfast by reading the paper and doing my packing. Each room in the hotel had a poem. Mine was Listening to Istanbul. By Orhan Veli Kanik. Will I get stroked after doing what this strange human wants of me? On the board. Where the hell was that? I had retained a 1 million TL note as a ke...

The previous night I shouted K and P to an Indian dinner at the Gandhi. Restaurant. After that I met up with the Dutch couple I had met in Gibara. In Cuba, who lived nearby, for a nightcap in a cafe near Haarlem. S cathedral. We exchanged travel stories. Friday, June 25, 2004. The train arrived at Gare de l'Est.

My trip to Croatia, Slovenia, Italy and Germany. Saturday, July 7, 2007. Auf wiedersehen, Europa. German breakfasts are ample, there's no doubt about that. My flight was at noon, so I checked out after breakfast and was shuttled to the airport. Frankfurt Airport. Is huge, busy and efficient, but will never win any awards for elegance. It looks like a train station that just grew and grew. There were surprisingly few retailers. Maybe it had something to do with the renovations. The rain) Ever Stop? It was...

My trips to Hainan Island and Shanghai, China. Friday, October 28, 2011. Shanghai and Hong Kong. But we ended up waiting an hour on the tarmac anyway. Perhaps some connecting flight was delayed. I suspect punctuality suffers on internal Chinese routes. I was happy when we finally took off. We arrived in Hong Kong 35 minutes late. The pilots probably stepped on the pedal a bit, but I think the airline also schedules some leeway for this sector. Location: Pudong Airport Rd, Pudong New Area, Shanghai, China.

My trip to the Balearic Islands in 2012. Sunday, October 14, 2012. Looking back, and ahead. And so, with a last morning stroll along Pinewalk on the foreshore of Port Pollença, my vacation in the Balearic Islands was at an end. All I had left to do was drive the rental car to the airport (and hope for no breakdown or traffic jams) and take off. What would I have done different? I dislike airports, especially crowded ones. Adults are usually stressed or even panicking and don't watch where they are go...

My trips to Fiji and Chiang Mai (Thailand). Tuesday, 19 November 2013. I had decided not to walk in the city even though my flight wasn't until 1530. I didn't want to get all sweaty before an overnight flight. So I had a relaxed breakfast, showered, and took a tuk tuk to the airport at 1100. I would take it easy in the air-con, have lunch, then check in. Food is good in Thailand; it's hard to find a bad cook. Thai are so polite; the Wai. I liked the humid climate less, but better than Bangkok. Mosqui...

The flight was at 1500 so I thought it prudent to start early because surprisingly for a world city, Taoyuan Airport. There is a gallery at the airport with very attractive high dynamic range.
