My route to Australia

This is the rough route that I will take to Australia. It's liable to change as it's depenandant on what I feel like doing. I'll try to keep it updated though. The rough journey is London to Portugal, Portugal to Russia (via Moldova), Russia to China, China to Australia.

...Gladys

Meet Gladys. My traveling companion. She was handmade, which is pretty amazing, by a friend of mine, Nelli. Gladys is lovely, although has a slightly disturbed look about her. She is the reincarnation of a little white rabbit I once had, Miffy, who is now dead. Miffy was marked for a "death by eating" death the moment she was born, so it's not like her sudden death came as a surprise. I have quite a horrible rabbit story and a fluffy toy effigy of that rabbit. It's not weird. She reminds me a bit of the doll on the front cover of Issues by Korn. I think it's the eyes and the slouching, lopsided sitting arrangement.

It's all in the detail

Pretty cool. My Russian visa with my name translated into Cyrillic. I could have probably transcribed it myself, but it's made more special seeing as the Russian Embassy did it for me.
