Our Japan Cultural Immersion Tour is taking place in 2027. Please see our website. Originally we were to be taking in South Korea, however, most people on that trip wanted Japan only so we're going with that. Will have an update soon. Pleas call or email us to book your place.

Beginning in the 14th century B.C. and continuing until the end of the Mycenaean world in the late 12th century, the Mycenean world is a treasure trove of information.
A recently discovered burial site found an untouched chamber tomb filled with jewelry, bronze objects and a large collection of intact pottery, one of the standout discoveries from this year’s excavation season.

PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAILS AS WE HAVE SENT OUT AN IMPORTANT EMAIL WITH A LOT MORE DETAIL.
The recent escalation between Israel and Iran has resulted in temporary airspace closures across several countries, including Iran, Iraq, Syria, Jordan and Israel, (and for a short time, Qatar) prompting significant disruption to flight paths and schedules.
• These diversions – often via Egypt, Turkey or Central Asia – can add hours to long-haul routes, impacting onward connections and raising the risk of delays - so please be aware of this.
ALSO IF YOU ARE TRAVELLING PLEASE ENSURE YOU HAVE GIVEN US AN EMERGENCY CONTACT BOTH HERE IN AUSTRALIA AND OVERSEAS AS OFTEN PEOPLE GET ANOTHER NUMBER FOR OVERSEAS AND WE HAVE NO WAY OF CONTACTING THEM.

And here is a sample of the local, traditional food - fried tarantula, fried crickets, and fried silkworms along with some baby frogs. I tried the crickets. Tasted like crispy chicken. 😃
