Life's A Trip

1  Japan - Eat The World's Most Expensive Steak

Having tasted pretty much every delicious piece of beef North America has to offer, Andrew Anthony sets out to sink his canines into the world's most expensive steak; so he's off to Kobe, Japan for a slice of Waigyu, the traditional 'white' steak that goes for about $700 a chunk. The cows are massaged every day and fed a steady stream of beer to keep them tender. Nice. Along the way, Andrew is going to completely immerse himself in Japanese culture from Karaoke to Sumo. After all, if you're going halfway around the world for a single meal…you might as well see some of the place whilst you are there!

6  Australia - Conduct A Symphony

Long ago in a land far away, a young Andrew Anthony watched a rascally rabbit conduct a symphony on TV and thought how brilliant he was and how amazing it would be to perform such a feat. Now in the iconic Sydney Opera House Andrew will don a tuxedo and conduct a symphony. Upon arriving in Australia, Andrew is informed that in order to check this one off his list, he must first learn what it means to 'be an Aussie'. For that he needs to hop back on the plane, live underground, visit the outback, kiss a kangaroo, climb a bridge, make some wine and succumb to Sydney. But after being through all this will he really want to put on the tuxedo or will the Aussie he has become lead him down a different path?
