You might have thought that my second ‘hostel christmas’ would be similar to my first, but it couldn’t have been more different. The cold historic beauty of Prague was replaced by the heat and elegance of Sydney, midnight mass with candles at an ancient Czech church replaced by an evening party cruise on Sydney harbour and gallons of beer. On christmas day Miranda and Canadian John managed to produce a full turkey dinner for over 70 people, and on boxing day the pub treasure hunt around Sydney in the searing southern sun was a legendary recipe for sore heads and sore wallets.
The pictures, as ever, are on the way, as is New Year, which Sydneysiders really know how to do…

As everything hots up (in many ways) for Christmas here we’ve had the 2nd not-annual Pink House Games last weekend and yesterday was the start of Murder Week. In Murder Week each particpant is drawn a victim (another particpant), a location and a weapon. To commit a ‘murder’ the murderer must catch their victim in the correct location with the relevant weapon. The murderer then takes over their victim’s target. At the end of the week the winner is the one still alive, or with the most kills. Pictures will, as ever, follow in due course.
Audio Time. Since audio podcasts are the latest bandwagon to traverse the internet I thought I’d hop onboard and do some of my own. Thanks to all participants especially Rory for being a great Olympic pundit.
WARNING: These audio clips contain very strong language and adult content!

It’s fascinating to be staying in a country and watching the British media covering a domestic news event. Contrary to the picture painted by the BBC Sydney isn’t overrun by swarms of racist thugs. If you’re really interested in what happened have a look at the Sydney Morning Herald for a more balanced picture.
Pictures of paintballing, the Hawkesbury River, and various other madness now online.

Two weeks of wild thunderstorms, T-shirts now for sale, Paintballing, Rob’s Visit, The Hawkesbury River, and today it hit 40 degrees outside. Whilst Europe freezes, summer has well and truly arrived in Sydney.
Various pictures coming shortly.
