My wife often tells me that her ideal holiday would be in Australia. Not sure why, but she finds it very exotic. And she spent her teenageand young adult life watching Australian soaps, which I think has something to do with it. For me, Australia means two things: it's where my favourite actress is from (guess who?) and the Sydney Opera House. Not so much for its unique architecture than for the fact that it's a freaking ultra modern, gigantic, cool, majestic opera house. I'd love to visit it of course, but also and especially buy tickets for a performance of something. Preferably Mozart, although it does not necessarily have to be Mozart. I have no idea if it is going to be possible in the forseeable future, but if one day we can afford to go to Australia we will have to go there. For those among you who have been to the Sydney Opera House, please leave me comments and tell me of your experience.

I've never been to Australia, but I hope you and your wife make it there some day!
ReplyDeleteI just got back from Australia and it is amazing. So much to see and do. We did not go into the Sydney Opera House but took lots of pictures outside. It is very cool. Loved Queensland and Tasmania too.
ReplyDeleteNever been myself, but I know quite a few people who have vactioned in Oz and enjoyed it. My neighbour's daughter has just emigrated there with her family (she's a teacher, a profession in demand apparently) and so far loves it. Personally, I'm more interested in New Zealand, but that might have something to do with Lord of the Rings.
