Australia

Welcome to the land down under, where women glow and men plunder..When searching for a greeting I was plagued by the ultra obvious, G'day Mate, instead I opted for something you 80's music lovers would appreciate much more.
Anyway, my journey started off in Sydney. A trip wouldn't be complete without a pilgrimage to the Sydney Opera House, so I bit the frugal bullet and attended a performance of The Magic Flute. Outside, the house which architecturally has got to be one of the most recognizable buildings in the world, is so grand and magnificent. Once inside though it feels oddly unimpressive. In a way I appreciate its unpretentious minimalistic style, but it just doesn't seem to match the wildly pretentious and conceded outside. Rarely will a picture be taken of Sydney without the Sydney Opera House somewhere in the photo and yet the inside seems to want to just fit in. Maybe that was the idea behind it but I think I've just delve into the psyche of a theatre a bit much.....
My east coast trip also took me to the beach communities of Bondi, Surfer's Paradise and Coolangatta. Each one extremely different in style, attendees, and wave production. Choosing a favorite would be too difficult to determine being that they are all so brilliant and unique. In terms of just taking the waves into account though, Coolangatta and the Gold Coast is the finest stretch of beach in the world..
Australia was just so incredible. From wild parakeets and parrots around every corner to Didgeridoo virtuosos on every street, everything about the country and continent are simply sublime....
Next up is Thailand and her mystical islands...
