About Me

hotcrackers: Tokyo, Japan; Born in Australia , went to school in England. Worked in London for 2 years then decided to semi-retire and went travelling for the following 10 years. Checked out about 36 countries in all :)) Now living in Japan for the last 10 years. How I got here was quite a story, wanna hear? So, I was travelling through South East Asia. Was with a friend of mine and we ran out of money in Thailand ....AaAHh!! As you travel north you meet travellers heading south and stories are heard. Stories from China, South Korea and Japan. So we flew off to Japan. Planning to work for 6 months, catch the Trans Siberian Train to Europe, Japan became an enticing place to stay. It's unique way of life soon grabs you and you suddenly find that to stay longer would be better. And 10 years later I'm still here :) Wanna hear more of those stories? ...? There are plenty of those for sure, from running out of money in countries to hitch-hiking through numerous countries to jumping on a ferry and doing the "dodge" to Athens ... it's all here on the "Wild Stories of Adventure" catch ya on the flip side ;) hotcrackers
