Asia Trip 2013: The Trip in Numbers

So, as many of you reading this blog are likely to know, I recently went on a trip to south-east Asia with one of my best friends in the world, Shane. There's a lot to reflect on, so I'm going to write a few posts about it, but I wanted to start with the most basic and the most nerdy: the trip in numbers. Stats, figures, sums. So here are the key facts and figures. All of them are for me; Shane's will vary somewhat (e.g. he flew direct from Toronto, so his number of airports and list thereof is different).
