dailycrunch and yum's globetrotting chronicles


shitting

Recommended Posts

i've been travelling with my brother and various friends since july. Started in japan, went to Israel and then Croatia where we met some others friends who had a campervan, including yumone. From there we drove north to hungary, Poland, Germany, Holland, france, and now I'm in dublin about to get roaringly drunk.

on the 15th of november we fly from London to nyc. Our rough plan is to go visits yum's friends in canada come back to new york and buy a car, drive to new orleans, texas, frisco. and then go home. enjoy the flickies!

this is going to be a fucking ordeal to post.

Our first stop in Japan was Sapporo, the capital on the Nth Island,. A mate from sydney is sstudying there and we crashed with him, which was awesome because he took us around and can speak pretty good japanese... Another mate was also over there who came to israel and Croatia with us.

sup ladz. Ill chuck some flics up as well, Im in London right now, just sold the campervan we have had driving around Europe for the last 6 months for 60 pounds less than what we initially bought it for (£3000), super stoked right now. I started my trip in Thailand with 2 other mates, we went from there to Cambodia, Laos, Hong Kong, Macau, China, Germany, Britain, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, back to Germany, Italy, Serbia, then met up with Crunch in Croatia and went with them for the part they already described. I shall now attempt to post some choice flics.
