Auschwitz & Birkenau camps/museum in Oswiecim, Poland
I remember going to the Auschwitz museum for the first time when I was about 10. It was a horrible experience; I had nightmares for a long time after. I would never recommend anyone taking there children there. Later on, I visited Auschwitz a few more times and still it was very difficult each time. […]

Bull shark feeding for Christmas planned in Fiji’s Beqa Lagoon
Dorota and I have just booked our flights, accommodation and diving for our Christmas trip to Fij. I’m really excited and can’t wait to get diving there. We’re not going for the tropical beaches, little islands and white sand, but to hand feed Bull and Tiger sharks. In fact we will get to see about […]

Polish Wedding, Kolo, Poland
Finally I’ve managed to find the time to write about my cousin’s wedding Alex and I attended in Poland back in September 2008. Typical Polish weddings start on a Saturday and take 2 days!

The Matrix, Walsh Bay/Millers Point Film Location, Sydney

I still can’t believe that lots of locals, expats and backpackers haven’t been there… The name of these mountains comes from the blue tinge the range […]

Hampden Suspension Bridge, Kangaroo Valley, NSW
I’m not a bridge enthusiast or anything but I really love this bridge, it was crazy to see how much the wooden decking moved when trucks passed over it. The bridge is also the only surviving suspension bridge from the colonial period of NSW and was an outstanding engineering achievement for its time. Hampden Bridge […]

The Polish Wedding Dancing Competition
Well this is it everyone, the video you’ve been waiting for over a year to see. The Polish Wedding Dancing Competition. Which I was able to win due to irrational behavior caused by chronic alcohol intoxication from drinking a few liters of potato juice, wodka. (In Polish the word Vodka is spelt and pronounced wodka, […]
