PM Delegation – Mumbai, India
So how on earth did we even get here? Well, back in 2019 I started a little company called Universal Simulation. Over the next couple of years I built a prototype desktop simulator (used in ADEMA…

Multi, India
3rd July Leaving for India was always going to be a test for my bipolar. Even more so as I didn’t realise one of my tablet boxes was only half full. Nevertheless I preceeded to the airport in good…
Da Nang, Vietnam
13-14th Arrival In Heathrow and the layover I passed the time in both the AMEX lounge and the CHASE lounge, which were both excellent. At Hong Kong would slightly recommend the AMEX lounge over the…
Hong Kong 2
I forgot how long the flights actually are. This time we stopped off in Thailand for a few hours and then made our way to Hong Kong. The distributor very kindly picked us up and then dropped us to…
Trade Mission, Dubai
Great event – easy to get around and very well organised. Met a number of people from DBT, FCDO and other founders and CEOs.

Karachi, Pakistan
Did you know? I didn’t… Pakistan is the 5th most populous country after China, India, USA and Indonesia.
Uzbekistan, Tashkent
One of the most incredible opportunities to arrive was the least expected. Not least because I didn’t even know we had any simultors in Uzbekistan. The story goes that the business had sold four…
Doha, Qatar
Spending a week in Qatar for an installation for work. This was the first tender that I ever got involved in and which took two years to see through to the end. The distributors were very good and…
Dubai
Dubai was always going to be an adventure. I had pre-booked a luxurious hotel, with roof top swimming pool and a desert safari. It got off to a fun start when the man waiting for me at the airport…
India: Jaipur
Myself and my Karl Pilkington companion, Jonathan, arrive in Jaipur to another barrage of tuk tuk drivers. We hop on one, agree a price of 150 (very reasonable for the distance) and hope for the…
India: Agra
Arriving in Agra I’m once again accosted by a magnitude of tuk tuks. I ask a local Indian chap from the bus, who speaks good English, to help me figure out where I need to go and ask him to negotiate…
India: Delhi
On arriving at the airport I felt a lot of anxiety, presumably given to me by horror stories which travellers who have been to India have shared with me. Part of me assumed, almost knew, that these…
Malacca
Malacca, often see “Maleka” too though I’m not sure what that refers to(?), was off to a strange start. I had arranged to stay with a couch surfer host which always makes me slightly anxious. As…
Kuala Lumpur
Malaysia is somewhere I knew nothing about. Literally nothing. Even when I planned the trip all I knew was that I had to somehow get through Malaysia to get my flight from Singapore.
Ho Chi Minh
As I arrive in Ho Chi Minh after an incredibly long train journey (two nights and three days, of which I’m the only person I saw who brushed their teeth!), I’m feeling pretty groggy and unwashed.…
Hanoi, Vietnam
It’s been a while since I’ve had those proper nerves about arriving in a new destination. I didn’t know what to expect in Vietnam though and this is the first time I’m really travelling overland.…
China: Beijing and Shanghai
After a fantastic time in Japan, my visit to China is off to a bad start when I peruse through the on-flight magazines to find an article that feels less-than-slightly propagandize. To make it more…
Japan: Hiroshima, Kyoto and Osaka
Hiroshima, Kyoto & Osaka, Japan
I arrive in Kyoto earlier than I otherwise would have on the recommendation of a good friend. Apparently there’s a lot to do here. I also find out that the JR Pass I got covers not only the bullet…
Japan: Tokyo and Nikko
Japan was the first place I was expecting to really experience some culture shock. I didn’t know anything about the place other than their love of manga and anime and all things cute and techy. I’ve…
