I'm here!!!
I'm posting this from the International in Cairns. I only just arrived, so I can't really make a justified impression, but so far this city reminds me of Costa Rica A LOT. I had spent a few days in Sydney and loved it, especially the taronga (sp?) zoo and the botanical gardens, plus I got to see Don Giovanni at the Opera house. Sydneyans/Syndians/Whatever they're called seem to be a rude, pushy bunch, and they're not afraid of cursing in public- I love them!
Before that, I spent three days in Auckland. It's a nice city, and I'd say it relies more on charm rather than outright beauty like (the nice parts of) Sydney do. To sum it up crassly, it's like London and San Francisco's adorable love child. Good wine too, and if the bottle I got as a welcome gift is any indication, Australian is on par as well.
That's all for now, I'll write more once I'm in Brisbane.
Oh yah, and Australians seem unable to understand a fucking word of what I say, I don't blame them though.
