How I’ll Die.
Just found this in my pocket… …I think I get the message… (In the future I’m a Tellitubbie master-criminal, with a penchant for wearing Scream masks – and the police are after me…and will no doubt shoot me dead? No? Other thoughts?!) www.facebook.com/storytimewithjohn

Red Light (Netherlands)
The Netherlands – Amsterdam ~ 2010 (I am missing my friends from home – so, I naturally find myself reminiscing on old times…in particular, about an old adventure we had together a few years ago…I thought you may as well come along for the trip down memory lane!)

The Monkey King
Well guys I made it safely to Korea, after what was an utterly agonizingly long journey (27 hours – more thanks to delays? It sounds even worse when I write it out and say it back to myself!)…but anyway, as always on long haul flights you find yourself watching things just to pass the time, often…
