Note from the author: no pics today... the photographer has taken the day off I have been looking forward to going to Zen Day Spa in Darlinghurst for a while. I researched and booked this spa day back in TO and the day has finally arrived. I'm very excited!!! I had every intention of catching the bus. However, like all good intentions, I moved to Plan B when I woke up late (8:30 am) and my first treatment was scheduled for 9:30 am. From home to the spa is approximately 35 minutes by bus, and then a short walk, but being rush hour I wasn't taking any chances. So off to the taxi stand I toddled... only to find there were no taxis. STRESSSSSS!!! Drama queen situtation solved, made it to the spa with 5 minutes ... read more

well, here i find myself again - on the flip side of the equator, enjoying life and travel in the southern hemisphere. except this time, instead of spanish, the locals are speaking austrailian, the tango has been replaced by afternoon barbeques on the beach, and red wine eclipsed by crisp victoria bitter or a freshly poured toohey's new. i haven't been in austrailia (affectionately know as 'oz' ) long enough to acquire the salty, tangy, and very 'acquired' taste of vegimite, but three months has been plenty long enough to absorb and appreciate the laid-back, easy going and fun loving aussie character and lifestyle. sydney, the capital of new south wales, and probably the most well known austrailian city due to its iconic opera house and visually stimulating postcard views of the harbor, is a vibrant, ... read more

Despite recommendations from the daughter of a friend of a friend (Tammy).....we still managed to end up in backpacker accommodation in the red light district - still, it makes for interesting stories doesn't it! Not wanting to peak too soon in Sydney and thinking we may be committed to a few more days than the recommended 2, we avoided the bridge and the opera house on the first day. Opting instead, for a walk around the city taking in sights like Darling Harbour, the Botanical Gardens, Harrys Cafe de Wheels, Victoria St and the general city centre plus the all important and rather funky aboriginal centre in Darling Harbour! Digeridoos to try, outback music, aboriginal paintings - all very very cool!!! Also got to 'do' Darling Harbour as well! The evening's activities were very kindly taken ... read more

Heya Freunde der Sonne! Es regnet! Und wie! Hat mich hart getroffen, als ich von meinem Wohnungs- bzw. Zimmerbesichtigungstermin kam. Wobei wir schon bei meiner Haupttagesbeschäftigung von heute wären. Der Vermieter hat mich erstmal 45 Minuten warten lassen, bevor er mit seinem fetten alten 500er Benz vorfuhr, um mir in einem 3-minütigen Rundgang durch das Haus, in dem er Zimmer vermietet, eins zu zeigen, dass dem, dass ich (wir) vermutlich bald mieten kann, ähnlich sieht, und mir mitzuteilen: "I expect the people (meine Vormieter) to leave on Tuesday." ! Nun ja, also hab ich noch immer nix fest. Er will mich aber am Dienstag anrufen. Ich muss dazu sagen, Schlafgelegenheiten sind in Sydney z.Z. extrem schlecht zu finden, denn wir haben Hauptsaison und neben mir suchen noch ca. 15 000 weitere Backpacker einen Schlafplatz. Aber egal, ... read more

Ho'reya?! Ja, das ist Englisch. Ich habe mich seit meiner Ankunft auch unzählige Male gefragt, worunter die australische Sprache nur so gelitten hat. Wenn ein Australier erzählt, vor allem ein etwas älterer vom Lande, dann könnte man auf Russisch rückwaerts tippen. Doch die verbalen / "lingualen" Unstimmigkeiten konnten mich natürlich nicht von der Kommunikation mit den Einheimischen abhalten... Also Schluss jetzt mit dem inhaltslosen Rumgelaber. Ich habe mir heute extra mal einen day off vom Urlaub genommen, um meine Homies mit neuem, derben Stuff zu versorgen: Seit dem 23.11.06 bin ich nun schon in Australien und mit einer 4-taegigen Ausnahme auch in Sydney. Das Wetter ist temperaturtechnisch nicht sehr beständig. Es wird zwar nicht kalt, doch man hat von einem Tag zum anderen dann schon Mal eine Temperaturdiffernz von 18 Grad Celsius (38 - 20).

Heya everyone! Well this week, for the first time, has been quite quiet! No rushing about and stuff, so its been a bit boring after the high standards set before, but I’m sure it will pick up again. Cant remember when I last wrote, but last weekend was Very busy, Back to last Wednesday or so…did the lamb of god stuff, I can remember writing about them…then Thursday Dhiraj’s stuff showed up from storage, so now we have a sofa and a few more things about the house to make it more homely, even 3 fridges, so there’s one for food, One for beers, and another one for beers, just in case! That was in the morning, and after that I was in recording Bass Guitar for a track as a session musician for an ozzy ... read more

greetings from australia. michelle and i spent 2 day on beautiful bondi beach where surfers are almost as numerous as the grains of sand. they're good too....and very intimidating. i spent my time on bondi walking up and down the beach, swimming in the surf, and body boarding. the coast is dotted with beaches between unbelievable formations of sandstone that has been skillfully carved by wind, rain, and waves. from bondi we headed to the northern beaches and are spending our last few nights in manly. we are staying with family friends of mine....though they have gone and left the house to us. we spent yesterday exploring sydney's inner city and getting prepared for MARDI GRAS which just so happens to be this weekend. sweet as mate :o) mardi gras is basically a huge gay pride ... read more
