    And NZ is motorcycle paradise. I didn't appreciate how good it is until I left.

    It is SO fucking good.
    I reckon I've now ridden in over a couple dozen countries... 8/10 of my favourite roads are in NZ.

    I'm also at my happiest when riding alone for some reason.

    Same, and I am not sure I can explain why

    Next time you want a raw fish fix, I'd either try Ebisu, which is more conventional Japanese fusion food, or Azabu which is a Japanese Peruvian fusion restaurant. Azabu is one of my favourites. The cooked stuff is okay too... 😉

    I just checked out their menu, I don't think my brain is ready to pay those kind of prices for Viet food yet.

    It's OK. But I prefer my vietnamese food in dingy spots like this

    Yeah, that's the fancy one in Ginza where they jack the price up by ¥30, the fluffybunnies 🙂

    It's my son's favourite thing to eat and actually does deserve a place in this thread - he's a fucking kid and doesn't like veges etc, but he's become a hound for kaiten sushi. He gets in there and uses the touch pad like a pro, ordering his Maguro (tuna) and Ikura (fish eggs) and hammering them home.

    Hints and tips, that flagship store is worth a visit, but book ahead. We went a week or so ago (booked it two days ahead) and walked in at 7pm and basically got the next available table. People who were there (almost 100% tourists) were signing up to eat and the wait time was 120 minutes.....

    8/10 was more of a "vibe thing".
    But Mount Everest would be top-10. And perhaps the “Zig-Zag Mountain Road with 72 Turns” also in Tibet.
    I vaguely recall a road in Morocco which would maybe be #11. Brecon Beacons up there too.
    I really need to get to Stelvio Pass one day.
