And now, the conclusion.
Bogor, Indonesia (July)
Never travel near Jakarta on a weekend, during a public holiday, and when roads are being repaired. Literally 24 hours in a car.
Hong Kong / 香港, China (August)
Who would have known the consequences of this unique time in its history...
Erding, Germany (September)
A cute little Bavarian town where I had the chance to tour its eponymous brewery (Erdinger) as well as attend Herbstfest Erding (smaller regional versions of Oktoberfest).
Liechtenstein (September)
Kind of a check the box activity as I was nearby :).
Lucerne, Switzerland (September)
Just a beautiful little Swiss city where I happened to be visiting a friend.
London, UK (September)
Oxford, UK (September)
Aside from meeting a friend, a bit of a pilgrimage for me.
Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA (October)
First time back in 14 years and this time actually had the chance to walk around the city.
Ontario, Canada (October)
Back to my childhood home to visit favourite places old and new, and just in time to see the leaves change colour.
Rotterdam, The Netherlands (November)
First time back in 12 years (oh how times have changed :)), this time for a conference.
Ghent, Belgium (November)
The third largest city in Belgium, but it certainly didn't feel like it - really enjoyed walking around the downtown.
Utrecht, The Netherlands (November)
Birthplace of Miffi, which for some reason I always had thought was Japanese.
