A Hard Cinema to Beat – Westpac Openair Sydney

A Hard Cinema to Beat – Westpac Openair Sydney

Sharon and I suck at planning…sadly. Thankfully, we have an amazing family who gifted us tickets to a movie at the Sydney’s open air cinema. We arrived at 6pm, after a slow stroll through the Botanic Gardens, and enjoyed a few drinks as we watched the sun set behind the Sydney Opera House and Harbour …

U2, Live in Sydney (The Joshua Tree Tour)

U2, Live in Sydney (The Joshua Tree Tour)

On Saturday afternoon we headed to the SCG to watch U2 live, on their Joshua Tree Tour. Friday’s performance had received less than stellar reviews, predominantly due to kilometre long queues (in the rain), sound issues, and the lack of a big screen, so I was a nervous to say the least. That said, seeing …

The Sydney 7s

The Sydney 7s

A Disaster of a Journey

A Disaster of a Journey

For the fourth time in 6 months I took to the skies and headed for Pune, India. It’s a journey I know well, from the layout of the airports, to the nonchalant security guards in India and the smell of Dubai. But this trip was unlike any of my previous trips. Firstly, we were flying …

Running in Pune, India

Running in Pune, India

I’m currently in the enjoyable position of frequently travelling to India on business. While I spend 99% of my time in the office (or hotel), and therefore don’t get to see as much of India as I would like to, I do make every effort to get out and about as often as I can. And the best …
