Tomorrow at 8pm, I will be leaving my home and beginning a 40 hour trek back to Australia for the Christmas and New Year's holidays. 40 hours is a hell of a long time, so I've gotten myself an idea to keep myself entertained, but I need YOUR help!

I'm going on a scavenger hunt.

I need you to give me a list of things to find. I'll take photographs, and post them back to this site when I have internet connection. So! List of things you can find while travelling - such as "photograph of someone sleeping at the airport."

If you are curious - this is my route

8pm 21st December: Train from tiny town JP to hotel outside Kansai International Airport. Sleep for a few hours (maybe) and then kill time in the international departures lounge until flight.
9:30am 22nd December: Fly to Hong Kong. Kill a few hours here.
7pm 22nd December: Fly to Sydney
8:15am 23rd December: Get on bus, ride to Canberra.
12:30pm 23rd December(maybe): Home sweet home!

Some Engrish. Everyone loves some Engrish.

Oh whoa! This sounds like an awesome idea!

Here are some suggestions:
  1. Photograph of questionable looking meat product
  2. Someone's dog
  3. Children playing with/climbing on odd objects to try and keep themselves entertained while they wait and wait and wait
  4. Someone in a hat possibly too big to be polite in a crowded space

Edit: I thought this was a fun idea that lets people get involved in something that's going on rather internationally, so I put a link to this on twitter and facebook as well. Hope that helps keep you sane as you travel!
Hm...

5. A very colorful bird

6. Someone making a strange/amusing facial expression

7. An old (10-20 years+) car on the roads

8. An unusual cloud formation

9. Something made out of snow (snowman, snowcat, snowdog, snowhovercraft, etc)

?
10: A vehicle hauling a horse trailer.

11: A poster for some sort of major sports event.

12: A couple where it's questionable if one person is actually anothers significant other or a relative (Parent, grandparent etc.)

13: Something making a odd and annoying noise.

14: A Chinese version of an airport McDonalds.

25. Abandoned chewing gum in an odd place

And to be put near the very end of your list:
A sign or poster or something to that effect that welcomes you to Australia!

27. Yummy christmas goodies, (cookies, cakes, gingerbread houses)

28. photograph of copy of a well known book (lotr, or hp, or something of the like) in another language

List is looking good. I'll be leaving in 4-5 hours. :)

In addition, one of my other friends has requested that I find three books. Each cover must be a primary color.

Japan has a million flavours of Kit Kats. These two are different green tea flavours. I can do proper translating when I get home if you'd like.

Anyway, another lot.
