Shit Burger: The Great Food Safari – Weird and Strange food from around the world

Beqa Lagoon, Fiji – Black & White Tip Sharks @5m
Diving Beqa Lagoon (Pronounced Benga) was absolutely fantastic. I have never seen so many sharks before on a single dive. The sharks just swim gracefully around you as if you are not even there munching and crunching on their food. This video is of our safety stop coming up from 30m after seeing the bigger […]

Trial Bay Gaol (Jail), Laggers Point, South West Rocks
Back in September 2009 Dorota and I visited Trial Bay Gaol when we booked a weekend away to dive Fish Rock Cave at South West Rocks. Laggers point provides a dramatic setting for Trial Bay Gaol (Jail). It is the only example of a station prison specifically constructed to carry out a public work. Built […]

Kokoda Track for Charity Trek?
Well it’s been just over 3 years since I actually did anything substantial for charity. My last two endeavors were to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and cycle the South Downs Way. On the 7th of September 2007 at 5,892 meters, I summeted Mount Kilimanjaro with a small group of friends. Raising just over £12,000 for the […]

Moscow’s Metro – Underground Railway
Moscow’s metro was opened in 1935, it contains outstanding examples of socialist realist art. In my opinion the metro is a really good reason itself to visit the Russian capital. Maybe it’s a bit overcrowded, maybe a bit old, but whenever I’m there I have a feeling it gives me the summary of the whole […]

Chinese Garden of Friendship, Darling Harbour, Sydney
Today Dorota and I went to visit the Chinese Garden of Friendship at Darling Harbour, Sydney. It’s set in the hustling centre of the CBD, yet is very quiet and all you can here is running water from the numerous waterfalls. We visited the Garden in true Ming Dynasty style and hired Chinese costume. I […]

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. […]

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! In a few words, it’s all about tradition, church, drinking, eating, dancing, drinking, singing, drinking etc. I’m familiar with all of […]

The Matrix, Walsh Bay/Millers Point Film Location, Sydney
The Matrix is my favourite movie. I’ve seen it lots of times. And I’m sure I’m not the only one that doesn’t know something. It’s quite embarrassing to admit that I had NO IDEA it was filmed in Sydney, the city we’ve been living in for over 7 months! After spotting a sign on the […]
