Sydney airport
Just boarding the 06.45 flight to Melbourne. The hi-fi in the surfer store next to my ears plays some sweet dance music. What about a sunny happy remix of the Similou, All this Love! Sweet!
local news
According to a local paper, seven percent of the kids in the "rich" suburbs of Sydney meet the criteria of a person having gambling problems. If they have to much money, I can give them an account number to release their pain of carrying to havy a wallet....
oh, by the way, there is a big discussion here now whether they should build twenty something nuclear power plants or not. Australia goes green, but wtf, what about the solar power? You have it, use it!

Welcome to Oz
So I'm finally here! Sydney! Sweet!
I arrived on Wednesday, six a.m., on ANZAC day (the day the Aussies celebrate all those countrymen which participated in any war - it's a day off here), and was despite the early time picked up by my boss. After a couple of hours of sleep I headed downtown and had lunch in the harbour together with my boss, his wife and two Swedish colleagues of ours.
The restaurant is in the old harbour - a district called the Rocks - which used to be a rough district when it all began. It's much more cosy now. The fact that I enjoyed some fresh fish looking at the Opera house might have had some influence. The wine helps too.
My first impression ofSydney is that it is much greener than I thought - and there is a lot of bushland still in the city. I had no idea it is this beautiful! And the view from my window? The Harbour Bridge, North Harbour and the Opera house. That is the first thing I see each morning!
Well, time to head downtown! Cheers!
