14-15 August: Hong Kong - Amsterdam - Buenos Aires

Another thirty-six-hour flight into everything I've spent more than half my life flying away from: mediocrity rather than identity, borrowed values rather than ideas of one's own. All the reasons I hated and left Australia so long ago come closer with each time zone and more terrifyingly magnified through the bottom of each in-flight glass. Don't try for me, Argentina... I don't know how I'm going to try for you! Going there we gain a day. Leaving, we lose nothing.
