| DRALION, Cirque du Soleil, Sydney : Review | | 2008-07-26 15:57:00 | | I'd never been to a Cirque du Soleil show before, but I had high expectations before going because of all the hype. I have to say that despite my high expectations, I wasn't disappointed with Dralion. The show was great. Fantastic music, choreography and performances. If you are going to see circus tricks, then this would be the way to see it. I literally had my jaw dropping and was sitting there going 'oh my God' at some of the show pieces.I read a review that complained about the clowns in the show and how they were annoying, but I didn't find this myself. They didn't make that much sense given the theme of the show, but hey, whatever. It wasn't a big deal. I also had heard that the show was 'dark'. Again, we didn't find that at all and it's more than appropriate for kiddies (although you would want them old enough to sit and watch).I don't want to spoil too much of the show for you if you are planning on seeing it. However, rest assured, it's a great show and you won't feel ripped o | | By: Sydney Girl | | |

| | Pope leaves Sydney | | 2008-07-20 21:40:00 | | Praise God!Finally, we can have our lives back.I have to say, although amusing, the throngs of happy mass goers was starting to get on my nerves. Perhaps my hangover yesterday didn't help but there's only so much gold cross bearing with accompanying singing groups that I can take without getting a headache. We even saw 2 guys take helium balloons from Krispy Kreme (with permission, of course) and then go off singing down the street with their throng of Christian revellers....wtf? Why, why why would anyone do that? I just don't get it...perhaps they were singing the praises of the Krispy Kreme? The mind boggles. | | By: Sydney Girl | | |

| | World Youth Day, Sydney | | 2008-07-15 22:12:00 | | I have fought long and hard not to get pissed about the Pope's arrival and the World Youth Day (more like a whole week) in Sydney. We had already been told not to hassle pilgrims and that we would be fined if we did and with this level of policing I feared another APEC fiasco - concrete barricades and hoards and hoards of people creating Christian anarchy in my personal city space.Well, we have been hassled a lot, and I'm going to be lucky to get to work on Friday, but overall it hasn't been all that bad (although I might be regret saying that later in the week).It is actually amusing having a whole bunch of young Catholics roaming the streets, carrying strange flags in their large ethnic groups. All of us locals are looking at them as though they are aliens - "Look Mum! Catholics!" hahahaha.The nuns and monks are actually good value, and I was annoyed that I didn't get a photo of one of the best photo op's I'd ever seen last night - 2 monks in full brown garb (think DaVinci Code) | | By: Sydney Girl | | |
| | Dome Bar, Sydney : Bar Review | | 2008-07-12 17:10:00 | | The more that I reflect, the more I feel that this is actually a pub dressed up as a bar (which it actually is) given that it is located on the top floor of the Crown Hotel on the cnr of Crown and Cleveland and run by the same people.I went last night with a big group as a farewell drinks. I had been to this bar once before on date on a Thurs night and found the place empty (literally) with us being the only people there. The decor was very cute, having a boudoir feel, and I wanted to see what the place was like on a busier night.Well, Saturday nights are busier and the vibe was different to what I expected. The music was cranked up a to a too loud mixture of Top 40 and dancy numbers. Not really nightcluby, but not chilled enough to be bar like either. The vibe it created was more like a rowdy pub rather than a bar. Myself and the husband of a friend were put off by the music as we struggled to talk, my throat getting dry every word from having to yell so loudly.I looked over the cockt | | By: Sydney Girl | | |
| | Piano room, Sydney : Bar Review | | 2008-07-05 17:36:00 | | The Piano Room. I had been yearning to check it out since my last dinner in the Cross, at JuJu's, where we weren't able to get in because of a 'function'. Little did I realise then that the 'function' is a norm at Piano room and reflects a deep management dysfunction.I arranged to meet my bar-hopping sister inside the bar at 7.15pm Saturday night. No problem, you might think. You would be wrong. As soon as I arrive at the door I am told that the bar is 'booked out'. WTF? It's a bar. I confidently tell the doorman that I am meeting someone there (which I am) and walk in, whilst being instructed that there a no seats and that I am allowed to stand at the bar area.As I walk in I see that the inside the bar is FANTASTIC. WOW! The decor is a dream and rivals my fave bars for ambience and coolness. Casual, classy and intimate. Just the way I like it.Sadly, as I look around the bar is practially empty, with 'reserved' signs littering the tables near the gorgeous leather couchs and seating are | | By: Sydney Girl | | |

| | Dalai Lama in Sydney | | 2008-06-12 15:21:00 | | Wow. It's been a whole week since I lasted posted. This week I have been so busy at the Dalai Lama workshop and sorting out all my other work for it that I haven't been at my computer very much.I love the Dalai Lama. I see him practically every time that he comes to Sydney for at least one talk so I rushed in to buy my tickets when I heard that that Dalai Lama was giving a 5 day workshop.We are on day 3 today of the workshop and the topic is Kamalashila's Middle Stages of Meditation. It's been fantastic, but very tiring as you can imagine. I'm accustomed to long periods of having to concentrate from uni, esp in post grad where I would be at uni from 9-5, doing back to back lectures (well, I attempted concentration). However when the lessons are in Tibetan, translated back to English and relating to Buddhist philosophy, it ups the concentration demand significantly. I have to say that the Dalai Lama's translator is probably the hardest working guy I have ever seen. He sits at the | | By: Sydney Girl | | |

| | Sydney Film Festival 2008 | | 2008-05-31 17:30:00 | | I remember when I first went to the film festival, many years ago now. I remember the price - around $15. The value - either a full day session or an evening session.For me, that was part of the fun of the film festival. The low financial obligation meaning that you could literally afford to watch a whole bunch of stuff that you would only ever want to see out of curiosity and that gave you the true film festival experience - burn out, exhaustion and stumbling out of the State Theatre being not entirely sure what day it was from seeing way too many films.Over the years the festival has moved further and further away from recreating these happy memories of my film going youth. Increasing prices paralleling the cost of a regular movie make taking risks harder at $17 per ticket (actually making it more expensive than a mainstream film). The season passes harking back to the old days are now priced from $295 to $480 and the program grows more and more every year, incorporating several | | By: Sydney Girl | | |
| | Ju Jus, Sydney - Restaurant Review | | 2008-05-30 16:46:00 | | I went to Ju Jus Japanese restaurant last night with a big group of friends/work people. Ju Ju's is pretty well known in Sydney and has been around for yonks. This was the first time that I had been and I read mixed reviews about the place. The famous karaoke machine was broken so the restaurant wasn't overly crowded. A good thing after a very long day at work, so I wasn't too disappointed. The decor is great and the seating is really cool. You must remove your shoes to enter the restaurant and the seating area is unusual. You have to sit on the floor basically, which is a raised shiny wooden platform (a bit like a pool decking area), with your legs going below the floor level at the table. The tables are organised into cubical like sections, with each table/floor cut out area divided by wooden slated fences. Very hard to describe, but I am told, very Japanese.The food was GREAT value. We had several bottles of wine, a few entrees, a few beers and a lot of food for 12 people | | By: Sydney Girl | | |

| | Paco Pena - Sydney | | 2008-05-28 19:23:00 | | I went and saw Paco Pena, A Compas!, last night. A good friend from dance class had an extra ticket and invited me to go along with him at the last minute. I was a very, very lucky girl.There aren't many dance shows that wake you up and make you think, 'This is what dance is about', but this show is one of them. The live music of Paco and his musicians is incredible in itself, but with the combination of the talented flamenco dancers it makes for an unparalleled music/dance experience. Every moment of the show is moving beyond belief and myself and my friend were sitting with our jaws dropping at how incredible the performances were at so many points it would be impossible to count them all.Here is an excerpt from the show below:The video gives you some idea of the show, but it doesn't do it justice.

| | Ivy, Sydney : Bar Review | | 2008-05-25 15:12:00 | | Ahhh...Ivy. I'd heard a few things about this bar before I finally got the chance to go on Saturday night. Run by Hemmes, a guy that runs the successful Establishment complex, I was looking forward to checking out this new place and seeing what the fuss was all about. The smh.com.au said "Even the most hard-core party pooper will find something to love about the Ivy. It's not a bar, it's a bar precinct, with eight zones over several levels, sensational decor and hardworking staff who are easy on the eye." Indeed. I needed to see it for myself.My companion, my bar hopping sister, had already been several times. She quietly moaned when I told her I wanted to go to Ivy and promised me that I would see what she meant once we got there.We arrived and shuffled our way past the bouncers (checkpoint 1), down the outdoor corridor and then past more door staff with clipboards and bouncers (checkpoint 2) both of which looked us up and down, giving us the impression of having 'passed'.

| | | Car Hire Driving Around Sydney | | 2008-04-27 10:09:07 | | Australia is a sparsely populated country, despite the fact that it has a land mass of 7.7 million km2. As a result of this, the distances between the major cities are large, with a drive from Melbourne to Sydney taking over 12 hours and Sydney to Brisbane around 10-12 hours. Hiring a car out in Sydney isn't difficult as there are a number of car hire companies located around the city. Car hire in Sydney, although easy, is not necessarily recommended for everyone. The traffic is heavy on the city roads, and parking spaces are almost impossible to find, so peak hours should be avoided at all costs if you are not a patient driver who possesses a good sense of direction. However, if you are planning on driving outside of the city or in the outback, then a car is necessary.When driving "off road" on unsealed tracks, you should first obtain local advice for your journey and always make sure that you have told a loved one or a person of authority, such as the hotel concierge, your travel pla | | By: Cheap Car Rental Tips | | |

The storm developed south of Sydney on the afternoon of 14 April, 1999 and struck the city's eastern suburbs, including the central business district, later that evening. The storm dropped an estimated 500,000 tonnes of hailstones in its path. Insured damages caused by the storm were over A$1.7 billion, with the total damage bill (including uninsured damages) estimated to be around A$2.3 billion, equivalent to US$1.5 billion. It was the costliest in Australian history in terms of insured damages, overtaking the 1989 Newcastle earthquake that had resulted in A$1.1 billion in insured damages. Lightning also claimed one life during the storm, and the event caused approximately 50 injuries. The storm was classified as a supercell following further analysis | | By: Gopal's Blog | | |

| | Australia vs India (Sydney Test): The Umpiring Story | | 2008-01-13 18:54:55 | | Many of you may have already seen the Australia vs India test match played in Sydney which was the cause a lot of hype around the world. Watching the umpires made me realize that maybe it is time we needed to donate money to the Cricket Umpiring Association, so that they can raise guide dogs, that can help the blind and deaf umpires make some decisions. Those umpires would be; Steve Bucknor and Mark Benson. During the Sydney Test both showed that even though the talent between the cricketers has been rising over the years, with younger generations rushing into the team, the umpires are still the same, over 60 years old, and can't see or hear to save their own lives, let alone umpire a match correctly. Only God knows how many wrong decisions were given during the game, but we have videos to prove some of the many, which are attached at the bottom of this article. We would like to discuss some of the horrible decisions before you go ahead and watch the videos.Let's start with the three great decisions for Andrew Symonds. When Symonds was on 30, he was caught behind by a beautiful delivery by our very own 19 year old Ishant Sharma. There was a huge knick, which the commentators heard, the players standing on the boundary heard, and the 70,000 spectators at the stadium heard, but for the umpire, I think he was either day fuckin' dreaming or just hard of hearing. The next two times that was out was both stumped. The first time, apparently the third umpire was not able to see it, and the second time Mr. Steve Bucknor didn't see any reason to even refer to the third umpire. Great umpiring (you'll see).Then there was the decision that was given out for Rahul Dravid on the fifth day of the test match. The bat hidden behind the pad, the ball hitting the pad and going to Gilchrist. Now of all the players, besides Rahul Dravid himself, Gilchrist and the silly point would have the best idea that it was not actually out. However they appealed for a catch out, and it was give | | By: From Jodhpur to LA | | |
| | Sydney test and after...Happenings revisited + New ICC rules + nice pic | | 2008-01-07 06:37:00 | | Here is how umpires Steve Bucknor West Indies [ Images] and Mark Benson of England [ Images ] dealt deadly blows to India in the second cricket Test against Australia. Day 1: # Australian skipper Ricky Ponting [ Images] nicked a Sourav Ganguly [ Images ] delivery going the leg side to wicketkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni [ Images ] . Ponting, who was at 17, did not walk as Benson turned down the Indian sepal. The skipper went on to score 55 before being ironically given out leg before despite getting an inside edge. # Then came the blunder which probably changed the course of the match. All rounder Andrew Symonds [ Images] edged Ishant Sharma to Dhoni but to the horror of the fielding side, Bucknor remained unmoved. Symonds was given another reprieve when the third umpire shockingly erred in giving him not out on a stumping appeal. The right hander went on to score an unbeaten 162 to take Australia to safety after being 134 for six. Day 2: # Another escape for Symonds as Bucknor turns down a close stumping appeal without consulting the third umpire. Day 3: # One of the rare umpiring blunders that went India's way as Sachin Tendulkar [ Images] survived a close leg before shout when on 38 before going on to score his 38th Test hundred. Day 4: # Benson turns down an Anil Kumble [ Images] appeal for a leg before against Michael Hussey despite the ball hitting the batsman's pads plumb in front. Hussey was on 22 # Benson is at it again, Hussey edged one from RP Singh to Dhoni but both the batsman and the umpire were unmoved. Hussey was on 45 at that time and went on to score an unbeaten 145. # Having taken Hussey and Clarke in consecutive, Kumble seemed to have got his hat-trick after having Symonds trapped LBW but Bucknor says no. Symonds scored 61. Day 5: # Probably the most horrifying day for the Indians, Bucknor gives Rahul Dravid [ Images] caught behind of Symonds despite the ball missing the bat by miles. # Sourav Ganguly i | | By: Jokes and Forwards | | |

| | Moths attack Sydney! | | 2007-10-09 18:51:00 | | Yes, that's right. We have been over-run by moths!Moths, moths, everywhere. It is like something out of the bible.It is very disturbing and weird. Someone from yoga has had them in her hot water system and they keep clogging it up so much that it shuts her hot water down.....so weird....I have had them hanging out in my clothes when I put them outside and when I unpeg they swarm! I think my meth-addict neighbour who lives in the flat above me is scared of them and he keeps spraying outside. At first I thought it his cheap cologne, but realised that even he had some standards. I'm not sure why he is spraying, as they are in plague proportions so its unlikely to help, but being the good meth addict that he is, he likes to fritter his time away on useless tasks.Goodo! | | By: Sydney Girl | | |

| | Tourists urged not avoid Sydney during APEC | | 2007-08-24 19:38:00 | | Australia's peak accommodation body is pleading with tourists not to avoid Sydney while world leaders visit for next month's APEC summit. Contrary to initial forecasts, the city's hotels will not be booked out during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meetings and the industry is hoping to avoid a period of low income.

| | The best Sydney bar: it's in Melbourne | | 2007-08-19 01:27:00 | | Take Melbourne, a city not - how do I put it politely - overblessed with natural good looks. To wander Melbourne's fabulous lanes at night is to relish a labyrinth dotted with tiny bars. In Sydney you find similar laneways smelling of chunder and pee. Melbourne has a vibrant CBD that makes it a joy to visit and live in. Sydney has, well, that harbour. I blame the licensing laws. In Melbourne a responsible cafe can get a liquor licence for $567.50, which allows it to serve a glass of wine to a punter who may not be eating

| | | A delightful visit to Sydney | | 2007-08-05 00:35:00 | | We spent one morning exploring Homebush Bay, the site of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. The architecture and immensity of the complex is overwhelming. The Olympic Park Railway Station will be able to accommodate 50,000 people per hour during the games.A day trip that I highly recommend is a tour of the Blue Mountains, an area of dense forested valleys, canyons with steep cliffs and waterfalls. We took a four-wheel drive adventure along an exciting back road to the Cathedral of Ferns, a pre-historic rain forest, before visiting the famous Three Sisters rock formation. One of the most rewarding stops was at a wildlife park where I had some eyeball encounters with koalas, kangaroos, snakes and emus.

| | Sydney Harbour Bridge | | 2007-07-12 10:22:05 | |
Nothing you have ever seen can prepare you for the size and surprising beauty of the world’s largest steel arch bridge, opened in 1932. Its balanced composition and the graceful sweep of its southern approach have captivated artists for years.
Sydney Harbour Bridge has spanned the water dividing north and south Sydney since the early 1930s. It’s hard to imagine the view of the harbour without the castle-like sandstone pylons anchoring the bridge to the shore and the crisscross of steel arch against the sky. At 503m, it was the longest single span arch bridge in the world when it was built; construction began in 1924 and continued to provide employment through the height of the Great Depression — sixteen workers also lost their lives to it.
Francis Greenway proposed a bridge in 1815, but the logistics vexed engineers until 1911, when John Bradfield suggested a single-span bridge. By then North Shore’s rapid growth demanded a solution, the only alternative bein | | By: Moments That Inspire | | |
