So, apparently I’m the 198th noisiest Australian blogger. What this means exactly is quite beyond me. It certainly can’t be a measure of the number of posts written, because I haven’t exactly been prolific recently. How does one generate noise when it’s not myspace-esque flashing gif face melting?

I do know one thing though: Funkwit, your carefree days of cruising along at 197th are over, from here on in, all bets are off. Game on!

It’s time to launch my latest blogging endeavour. Budget East is a guide to budget travel in Japan, Korea and (eventually) the rest of Asia. There’s already information on skiing at Niseko, Hokkaido and some great guides to snow in Japan for the upcoming snow season. Keep an eye on it for travel tips, quirky news and a bunch of information for all those traveling around Asia on a budget. The address: http://budgeteast.com/
