January 23 And at the edge of the ocean, we can start over again.At exactly eleven minutes and thrity-three seconds past seven in the morning, a weary, adolescent child of no more than fifteen exited the arrivals terminal of the Kingsford-Smith international airport, stepping out from the cool, air-conditioned haven of the indoor city of amenity-facilitates into the belting heat of the unforgiving Australian sun. As he walked through the quickly-pacing travelling pockets of excitedly hurried tourists that criss-crossed the red-brick forecourt of the comparitively small building (having just returned from the architecturally supersized skyscraper oasis of Dubai, everything seemed just that little, incy-wincy bit miniscule), he reminisced over the past six weeks, and the memories and experiences that he would undoubtedly remember for all eternity - for the rest of his life. From the magical gondola ride through the faded elegance of Venezia's narrow back-canals, to walking above an neverending sea of clouds atop the Swiss alps' Mount Pilatus, staring awesomely into the horizon as the sun shone omnipotently on the mountain peaks protruding the still, white expanse that lay before us. From the sheer magnificence of the Vatican city's Sistine Chapel, to the trendy, modernised charm of Paris' Latin Quarter (the intellectual, studentesque, fashion, antiquity and artistic social hub of the most beautiful city in the world), to the mysterious, jaw-dropping "incandescence" of the gold mosaic ceiling of London's Saint Paul's Cathedral. For the rest of his life. Yes, this means the-social-bunny's returned from his trip to his now, seemingly humble Sydney. He's had the most amazing time - feeling, discovering, experiencing history. And now? Well, now, he's jetlagged, having only returned yesterday. But expect photos, and stories, and horridly-written anecdotes - all written with awfol speling and grammar bad. And expekt it soun. And yes, that's also right. Click here's here again for 2007. Comments (25)
