What a slap in the face for Ishihara! Look - no one really expected Tokyo to get the Games. It was Rio`s turn, and we all knew it. The Japanese people werent behind the bid, because of xenophobia, stirred up by Ishihara and other LDP has-beens. Its bad news for…

A wonderful story, and I cant wait to read the book. However, it included at least one long train ride and two `plane trips, so it is not exactly a "cycle ride all the way from Ireland to Japan." Still, they are to be admired for their guts!
