Travelling Asia as a Regional Manager
My first time to Philip Island and what a weekend. Everyday was different and even the cancelling of MotoGP qualifying and the crazy Saturday weather just added to the whole experience.
What a great place to to watch motorcycle racing! I will post my loitering paddock photos and stories later but here are some MotoGP photos from wandering around the track on Friday and the race on Sunday watching at turn 10.
For most, me included, Narita is the airport (NRT) at Tokyo where you arrive and depart but having had several overnights over the years I have started to explore a little.
If you have to stay a night or two at one of the many airport hotels you can probably get a free hotel shuttle to Keisei Narita Station or JR Narita station which are basically in the same locale. From there a 10 minute walk along Omotesando Road and you are into Naritasan Park where you can stroll around and inbibe Japanese peace, order and culture. If you have time for a meal order some Unaju which you can see being prepared fresh if you arrive in the morning. Although you may not want to see your eel alive and then swiftly chopped up, but at least you know it is fresh!
So get out of the hotel, fight the jet lag and explore…. you won’t regret it.
A fantastic weekend at MotoGP in Sepang, Malaysia. Just a quick selection of the hundreds of photos taken over three days.
Visited Sepang in Malaysia to watch a couple of days testing for the MotoGP teams prior to the 2014 season. For the spectator Sepang has many great spots to watch from. The only section of the circuit I have not yet seen is the section after turn two to before half way. But most of the circuit can be seen from about 3 locations in the main grandstand as you can see from the video.
An unexpected surprise at end of work trip to KL, Malaysia. The MotoGP boys were pre season testing at Sepang. Went early for my flight home and popped by Sepang with Sebastian before check in. The place was empty and was able to snaps some photos.
