The SJT, and The Beauty of Bread
Today, I will be taking one of the most important exams of my life so far. That is no exaggeration. The Foundation Programme Situational Judgement Test (SJT) is a two hour and twenty minute, 70 question paper testing the candidate’s judgement in a variety of clinical scenarios. I’m not going to go into detail about…

Ordinary Retro Gamer: Tom and Jerry, Timon and Pumbaa, Toy Story, and Rambo III
Most of my gaming has been of the retro variety recently, revisiting some of the classics from the 80’s and 90’s, and some not so classics. Some of these games I had encountered before, and others I stumbled across by chance. Here are a few short reviews of games I’ve been playing. Tom and Jerry…

Ordinary Retro Gamer
I don’t exactly know what got me watching JonTron, but I can’t stop watching him now. I love his off the wall review style, and his attention to detail. He has a joke or observation for almost every element of the game under review. His reviews of terrible retro games have really gotten me thinking…

A Seoul Searching Sojourn – Part 2
Continued from A Seoul Searching Sojourn – Part 1, detailing my exciting exploits in Asia. The Third Day Another slow morning of booking and planning, and figuring out what to do for the day. I settled on Dongdaemun market and the urban stream. I wanted to finish the day exploring Gangnam to see the style that…

A Seoul Searching Sojourn – Part 1
Another in my series of travel blogs, this one covers the second stop of my Grand Tour of Asia. This one is a two parter, and is made up of notes I took at the time and reflections following my return to Northern Ireland. I have been reluctant to finish these travel posts – maybe part…

The Workshop, and Diabolical Deathrays

I’ve started back to my final year of medicine gently, with an introduction week followed by a week off for self directed learning. This is far to early to be in the right mindset for…

Toodaloo Temples, and So Long Siem Reap
I’m running a little bit behind on writing! I’m back in Northern Ireland, in the cold and wet. Back to fleeces and jeans, and monsoon-proof raincoats. Back to porridge. No more sushi. No more kimchi. No more laksa. I miss Asia already. These posts are going to be completely out of order, as I’m just…

The Rocky Road to Siem Reap
I’ve stayed in Tokyo, Nagoya, Kyoto, Osaka, Seoul, Hong Kong, Phnom Penh, and now I’m in Siem Reap. So much has happened in a relatively short period of time and I’m having a hard time keeping up with it. I had a long bus journey to get here so I had the chance to make…

See you later, Nagoya
Where did the time go?! I officially finished my elective on the 7th of August, and after a great send off (and a not so great bike incident), I was on my way to Kyoto. I arrived in style by the Shinkansen, also known as the bullet train, and the journey only took half an…

Cycling and Sightseeing – Part 2
Continued from Cycling and Sightseeing -Part 1 My next stop was a little street market on the way to Nagoya station. There was lots of food and drink, and people selling all manner of things. When I reached the halfway point of the street, several performers and a presenter were gathering, along with a small…
