Young persons railcard makes getting to London slightly cheaper. It's still £46.

Note the shit signature.

<-------

A Tokyo railcard. I'm not sure why It's in here, I don't remember using such a thing.

Do they have flying trains in Japan? Probably.

<-------

The Art Fund. I'm given these things each year by my mother because apparently we have some kind of family membership.

It's unused, just like the other two.

<-------

Penzance to London. Hell to civilization.

<-------

I hate Abbey.

<-------

The worst journey in the world.

<-------

Enabler of large debts. A pain in the arse to talk to on the phone.

<-------

The hostel I used in HK. Tiny rooms, amazing staff.

<-------

I can drive a computer apparently. Is this international? Has anyone heard of it?

<-------

I did use the library. They let you take out DVDs for free.

<-------

Doesn't look like I activated it.

<-------

Hong Kong's version of the Oyster card. They had it years before London of course, and did a better job implementing it.

<-------

A points card for a Japanese bookshop in the 'Oriental City' mall, Colindale, London. The shop closed a few years ago.

<-------

When I dropped my previous camera onto concrete they paid for the repair.

<-------

Why is there Welsh on this card? I don't want that filth in my wallet.

<-------

From an arcade in…Seattle I think. I played Virtual On there, but one of the joysticks had broken.

<-------

Unused. Must have come free with something. Maybe it still works?

<-------

I think they went bust.

<-------

Really useful. For all the JOBS I get. All the time.

...

<-------

See those punch marks? They show that I went to tutorials about those pieces of equipment. A foolproof system, there is no way a student could have punched the holes without attending the tutorials. When a piece of equipment was borrowed, one of the numbers on the card was ticked off. Note the lack of ticks.

<-------

It has about £6 on it. That's good for ten meters of travel in London.

<-------

This is supposed to have my prescription on the back, but the printing has worn off.

That man's chin is too big.

<-------

I'm not sure why a student needs a business card, or why I have her card. Probably from a school reunion.

<-------

Look at that. Platinum! I own three yachts, so I'm entitled to the card.

<-------

I did collect the stickers. I didn't win.

<-------

Parkour kids.

<-------

Phone number for an estate housing office on the back of a KLM boarding pass. Not sure what the directions are for.

<-------

Folded Wendy's coupons from Tokyo. That big glob of mayo looks foul.

<-------

I don't know, but the numbers looked important so I blurred them. I like to give the impression that I'm being responsible about identity theft and all that shit.

<-------

Tokyo guesthouse from the last trip. They ran it as a kind of foreign language school to get around taxes. No one ever spoke to anyone else.

<-------

On the top floor of Loft in Shibuya there is an area dedicated to portable ashtrays. It's not a museum.

<-------

Tokyo hostel from previous trip. Tiny rooms, reasonable staff.

<-------

A host's business card, made from plastic.

<-------

See about halfway down here.

<-------

Kealan really pulled out all the stops here. See that angle? He had to rotate the text in Photoshop with the little handles on the transform tool.

<-------

Issued by Goldman Sachs when I worked there. The idea was to call in after a terrorist/alien/god attack and let them know that you were safe. Now I've used 'Goldman Sachs' and 'Terrorist' in the same paragraph, their ultra advanced security systems will find this text.

<-------

I've blurred out my picture because I find it offensive. The blurring makes it look like I have lopsided eyes.

<-------

The old alarm code at a friend's place. I walked in one night, and my wallet was so full I couldn't find this piece of paper in time. The alarm went off. Alarms are very loud.

<-------

Purikura. I hate it, but also, secretly enjoy it. I'm sure there's a market for a masculine version with less glitter and more tank/guitar/beer icons.

<-------

I found these on the floor at our local cinema. I don't know their history.

<-------

This piece of paper has been in use for about three years. It's chock full of information. I might move it to my new wallet, in the same way that a farmer might keep some potatoes to start next years crop.

<-------

Who is Justin? Does he like wine?

Wine? It looks more like wihe.

<-------

A cut out rubbing of a coin, the kind of thing you make when you're very young. Not sure what it's doing in here.

Maybe I'm a paedophile?

<-------

Picked up in Tokyo. I'm surprised they haven't yet flaked away into nothing.

<-------

Friend stuck it on her phone, while drunk apparently. And then peeled it off because it didn't look good.
