Tour Journal: The Kurios Road
In January, I packed up my many bags and said good-bye to Dubai to go back out on tour as head of automation with Cirque du Soleil’s Kurios. I was to join the tour in Tokyo, the first city of the Japan schedule. This meant that I had to do the visa run before hand. Whilst the UK Japanese embassy is located London, there is a consulate in Edinburgh so I didn’t have to do the long schlep down south to get that sorted. This is a good reminder that you should always check for both embassies and consulates and the services they provide. It was far easier and cheaper for me to take the hour-long train ride from Glasgow to Edinburgh than the five hour one to London!
