Mainly sydney, surroundings and tropical northern queensland.

Watch the TV ad here.. They don't mention the stinger season.. I wonder why.?

Back in Bayreuth

Well, Well, my holidays are over and I'm back in Bayreuth. Fortunately, it was pretty sunny the last days and thus the change from Australia wasn't too hard... still pretty tough.. :-(

One of the worst results of my australia trip is that I am officially broke.. I've been spending like almost all of my money there. And the rest got invested into electronic gadgets in singapore. I'm now a happy owner of a Thinkpad T60 notebook..

Find some pictures from Singapore below..

Bread and water for dinner tonight, donations are welcome... :-)

Tsunami and more

As we learned yesterday night in the news, a tsunami warning had been issued for the east coast of Australia. And indeed quite a few people in cairns jumped into their cars and went to the hinterland (a nice aussie-german word). Even BONDI beach was evacuated.. I guess there were still some surfers in the water waiting for the most perfect (and probably) last wave of their life.

Brave and without any news of the earthquake, we had anyway started our trip to the outer reef in the early morning. The sea was pretty rough and so we were strongly advised to take medication against sea-sickness. Well, it didn't help much for some people, and half the boat sat outside on the dive deck, seasick and really annoyed.. Laurence joined them.. Fortunately, once the boat stopped its mad ride, people recovered fastly.. Cheers

However, once we were there and jumped into the water, the trip was really worth it. Sharks, Clown fishes (NEMO!!), sea turtles and plenty plenty of colorful fish and corals. It was a really amazing day, we enjoyed it so much.

Below you can find some pictures of some past events..

ASIAN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

Some friends and I during the Asian Chamions league match Sydney FC vs. some guys from japan. forgot about their name(maybe urawa reds).. was great fun, except that the Aussies messed it up and the game ended in a draw, whereas they led 2-0 before..

CHINESE GARDEN

A shot inside the Chinese Garden. The Chinese Garden was offered to Sydney by their Chinese partner city. Now you have to pay an entrance fee to get in and see the gardens..

So, MAKE SOME MONEY. However it's really worth it. A wonderful garden architecture..

BLUE MOUNTAINS
