Here it is, 2.30 in the morning and I can’t sleep in my own bed :( I’ve been wide awake now for at least an hour and no foreseeable sleep hitting soon – not even a yawn :( urghh! How annoying! I have to wake up early too! As you may have guessed, I’m now [...]

Yes, that was the word from my previous entry – probably :P But alas, have found free internet access in Singapore Changi Airport where I am now :) It’s 2.30am Swiss time, 8.30am Singapore time and 10.30am Sydney time (I think) so both my body and brain are completely confused :P Am very tired – [...]

Well, this is possibly my last entry on my trip (unless I find *free* internet access in Singapore Airport :P). I can’t even put into words the experiences and revelations I’ve had whilst on this trip. I am both sad and happy to be returning to Australia – everything has been amazing – the times, [...]

This will be my last post from London :( I’m 5/6 the way through my experience now – one more destination to go – Weggis, Switzerland (and Sir James Galway!). These concerts have been absolutely incredible – we just don’t get the calibre of artist, orchestra, venue, ticket price or ANYTHING in Sydney unfortunately. The [...]

Well yesterday was my day :) First Les Miserables which just blew me away and then after just recovering, the performance of Berlioz’ Symphonie Fantastique really put me in the grave (but with a smile :P). What a performance! They used the bell tower for the bells in the last movement and shook the whole [...]

Yep, I know, two posts in one day :P This one is just short and I couldn’t resist – just saw Les Miserables – by far the best musical I’ve ever seen :) That’s all! Ciao!
