Dating from 1252, the statue was originally housed in a temple but typhoons and tidal waves took their toll and since 1495, it's stood in the open air. In the novel, Phileas Fogg finds out that the Trans-Indian railroad is 50 miles short of completion between Kholby and 25. It’s the Lansdowne Bridge over the Indus River in Sukkur, about 150 miles north of Hyderabad in Pakistan. This small alley is another place that will transport you back in time with its bay windows and oil lamps!Consequently, it is unlikely he would fail to notice that the departure dates of the transcontinental train in San Francisco and of the China steamer in New York were one day earlier than his travel diary. The interior of the club became ‘Claridges Hotel’ for Oliver Parker’s 1999 version of Oscar Wilde’s An Ideal Husband, the palace of the Viceroy of India for Richard Attenborough’s Gandhi, a tearoom in Keep The Aspidistra Flying and even suffered the indignity of being a greasy spoon for Julian Simpson’s 1999 The Criminal. A possible inspiration was the traveller George Francis Train, who made four trips around the world, including one in 80 days in 1870. In conjunction with Architecture Week, bus and walking tours link the two venues on the weekends of 17-18 and 24-25 June.

They trekked through the ancient Kumano Kodo pilgrimage in the forests of Southern Japan, cycled across 8 islands, bathed in the hot onsens of Yunomine and sipped on sake in the tiny bars of Tokyo’s Golden Gai alleyways.Another possibility would be to fly from India into China and continue by train to Hong Kong or Shanghai. Fogg has missed the train and arrives in London apparently five minutes late, certain he has lost the wager. To prevent Passepartout from informing his master about the premature departure of their next vessel, the Carnatic, Fix gets Passepartout drunk and drugs him in an opium den.

Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter felt the plot did not justify eight episodes, but praised Tennant's performance.Since Fogg fits the vague description Scotland Yard was given of Strand, Detective Fix mistakes Fogg for the criminal. Presented simultaneously across two major London arts institutions, the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) and the South London Gallery (SLG), Around the World in Eighty Days is a unique exhibition that takes Jules Verne’s popular novel Around the World in Eighty Days as a starting point to consider art, history and the social construction of places, spaces and identities from both a global and local perspective.

A short time later, the misunderstanding is cleared up – the actual robber had been caught three days earlier in Edinburgh. Fogg was reunited with Passepartout in Yokohama, and they board the General Grant together for the trans-Pacific crossing to 37.
