I have heard that you can order an Amok spice mix online from herbies: http://www.gourmetshopper.com.au/shop/search.php?mode=search&page=1 Though I can't vouch for whether it's a good substitute for the paste. Making the paste from scratch, though less convenient, is entirely possible though so that's always an option... Best of luck with it all! Hi Colin,

We think it will take a whole year - it has been about 5 months so far (with a 2 month stay in Australia) and so far it's been both hard and amazing at regular intervals. Hope Xmas in Tokyo is fun. How long are you spending in Japan? I think we will be going from Beijing straight to Moscow via Mongolia if we can but if plans change (as they endlessly do) I will let you know! I think we will be having an obligatory barbecue in the Coral Sea sun with the ship's crew. No contact with land for the next 10 days or so and we have stocked up on Christmassy films, mince pies and chocolate! All the best Alex H Hi Rob,

How long have you taken off to do this? I'm sure it's worth it. Have a fun (sunshine?) Christmas? I'm going to be in Tokyo on Christmas Day - is your route taking you this way at all?
