No, not those Tonys, these Tonys reward moments in our (not so) young (anymore) hero's life during the past year.
Best Moment of the Year: The epiphany I had sometime in September about never going home again.
Worst Moment of the Year: (Tie) Borrowing money from my parents, again. And waking up in a sleazy hotel room in Rome with about 100 bug bites all over my body.
Most Embarrassing Moment: hob-nobbing with the Wuxi-German glitterati at a local night club, drinking too much, and let's just say attracting too much negative attention to myself.
Best Places I Visited: Koh Samet, Thailand and Barcelona.
Worst Place I Visited: Naples. Maybe it was the garbage in the streets, the slack jawed scoundrels on ever corner, or the fact that I spent most of my time there scratching said bug bites, but I didn't like it. The pizza was good, tho.
The Hey We Should've Planned This Award: Missing out on the running of the bulls in Pamplona.
Strangest Culinary Experience: Eating fish heads for dinner in Wuxi. Runner up: eating homemade kimchi jigae with some Koreans Joey and I met in Paris (thanks to his "waegukin" shirt) - it was delicious, btw.
The Aren't We Friends Award: Throwing beer on Dave and then fighting in the streets of Florence. Good times.
Worst Airline Experience: 7 hours from Dublin to New York next to a chatty well-fed Irish lass.
It Could've Been Worse Airline Experience: 14 hours New York to Beijing with an aisle seat and an empty seat to t'other side.
The Bad Blokes Award: Me, Dave, Bryce, and Stephen, for getting too drunk and almost starting a fight with a bunch of Irishmen. Details here.
Favorite Engrish Encounter: "Sun your buns in hell" on a T-shirt.
Best Asia-Themed Youtube Video: Kickin' It In Geumchon.
