In 2009, two people decided to go on an adventure.
In what is somewhat a disappointment, they did this without a phone booth that travelled through time.
That said, there are a number of interesting things that will make it an adventure. Firstly, they are travelling during the ominously named Global Financial Crisis. Secondly, they’re travelling during what the World Health Organisation has now named a Global Pandemic of Swine Flu*. Lastly, they’re going to visit a nuclear wasteland.
Check in here to see our updates of our trip to London, Paris, Berlin, Kiev in the Ukraine and New York!
*Note: while Em and Lachlan aren’t worried about Swine Flu, they are worried how all the countries around the world are reacting.

First post from OS!

Well, we’re in the UK! Lots of fun already, including:
- A Buddhist monk watching the chick flick, He’s Just Not That Into You.
- Friendly UK criminals
- Star Wars loving Customs Officers and
- A queue of people at the free web kiosk in Bangkok logging in and updating their Twitter.
We’re on a short time frame at the moment, so a longer post will come later but for now be assured we’ve arrived safe and sound.

Someone should have warned me about the scary flushing toilets. I was not expecting it to open up some kind of horrible portal to hell. Not cool guys! At what point did it not occur to anyone that this might frighten me?! Toilets which give the impression of wanting to suck you into their evil clutches would be the first thing I warn people about…
Otherwise, pretty uneventful. Mega stress at the airport was mostly unnecessary. We got through customs with no problems, and have been reunited with our bags! Hurrah. Also, I slept on the plane for at least six hours. Other than the occasional lurching feeling if I sit still for too long, feeling remarkably spritely and, hopefully, jetlag free!
We winz at teh flyingz :D
EDIT: Oh and yes, pics have been taken and are coming. Soon guys!
