another day, another world away

So again, it's that time of the month, rosters are out and I ended up getting what I wished for.  Relief!  I get to go to the beautiful Zurich, I hope it snows, I miss the snow.  Amsterdam twice!!  The land of wind mills, sex, drugs, and tall people.  Then I'm of to my second home now, Shanghai.  I have been there too many times to count.  Last but not least I finally get to go to Hong Kong, I cant wait...

Brizzy






Bad Religion.  BTW, Nylon costs 10 dollars in Australia!

Brisbane was beautiful and sunny as usual.  I walked around most of the city, across a bridge to the south bank, china town, the valley, that was full of shops selling local designer clothing, some pretty amazing stuff I must say.  I bought a really glamorous 60's style cocktail dress with little mirrors embroidered on the neck line.  It makes me feel like a million bucks.  Not sure where I will wear it though;)  I'm sure it will come in handy though.  I just enjoyed every minute of my time there.  I need to go back soon.  Confession: I have a serious weakness for Australian men... The way they walk, the way they talk... hot hot hot.

I Heart New Zealand







What can I say, I'm head over heels in love with Auckland.  I know I say this every time, but honestly it's one of the most beautiful places I've ever laid eye's on.  Some places just give you this feeling like you belong there, or you should live there, or you have lived there in a past life.  It's lush and green and smells like freshly cut grass and ocean breeze.  It makes you feel so small and so far away from the rest of the world.  It's on a whole other level.  That said, I spent most of the time alone, since it rained a little so allot of the crew just stayed in or hung out at the pub.  I didn't mind at all, I was perfectly content exploring the city and taking photo's.  I had some amazing sushi for breakfast, yes my body clock is so twisted that I can have sushi for breakfast and pancakes for dinner.  I walked along the sea wharf, went up a sky tower, window shopped and walked and walked and walked.  The best part was taking an afternoon nap wrapped up in a big quilt with the windows wide open, listening to the rain.  pure bliss.  Oh and the hotel had an endless supply of New Zealand tea tree shower products that I of course took full advantage of.  In conclusion... I LOVE NZ!
