About me
Travel a fair amount (on business more than on holiday, alas) to Europe, Japan, China, Oz, and North America. Hardly ever get to Africa or South America, and believes that the best thing one can do in Singapore is change planes there. Love to meet up with people for dinner when travelling, I hate eating alone. I’ll even buy!Recent activity

I thought there was a ferry (as well as flights) straight to Russia from Niigata. Might be worth checking into if it is still there.
