Earth Sandwich

Let's make a sandwich with the earth as "spread". I'm exactly on the other side of the planet (for the Belgian crowd) so we got an unique opportunity to make a giant sandwich. I placed my loaf of bread in Centennial park in Sydney and uploaded the photo to this map. If you do the same we'll have an Earth Sandwich!!!!

Sounds too complicated? I've tried to make a dummy proof drawing:




Start making your own sandwich!


(kudos to Ze Frank for the original idea!)

Very tempting!!

It's life Jim, but not as we know it

Sydney getting ready for the release of the new Star Trek movie with a red carpet event at the opera house.

Did you ever noticed the striking similarity between the opera house and the Star Trek logo?

Wicked!!



Wicked Weasel...the art of combining bikinis and floss!

My favorite site for many, many years...I wonder why? :-)

And a great logo...




Hat tip to Russel for pointing me out the shop! :-)

Early Easter



I already found an Easter egg at the CS BBQ in Centennial Park, Sydney...the time difference with Belgium must be huge!!!

(Hat tip 2 JG for the pun!)

Couch in Sydney


View Larger Map

After staying 1 night in a hotel near the station I found a last minute couch in a very nice part of town (border Paddington and Kings cross). It's just above the café you see in the streetview frame, just tilt the picture slightly with your cursor.

I'm couchsurfing with Russell. He's a really cool dude from New York who's been working in interactive media in Sydney for 2,5 years now.

Lot's of Kudos to Russel for letting me surf his couch on such a short notice and showing me around in Sydney!

No Foz in Oz!



I haven't seen 1 poster, flag, sticker, glass,...of Foster's. Ozzies just don't drink it. Like in Belgium every town has got his favorite beer. Melbourne drinks VB, Sydney drinks Carlton. Up till now my pick would be James Squire, which I happily consumed at the oldest pub of Sydney called "Fortune of war" (near the Rocks).

But don't drink Foster's...

First day in Sydney





Was a bit of a gray day...decided to go for a long walk and stumbled upon the harbour bridge and the opera house.

Cut the sawasdee krab



Bye Bye Thailand!

The big city life in Bangkok, the beach and diving on the islands Koh Samui and Koh Tao and the northern lifestyle in Changmai. It was a blast.

Gonna look for some kangaroos now!

Extreme couchsurfing








This is taking couchsurfing to the limit! Go any further and it becomes cloudsurfing or maybe it already is...

The Chedi, Chang Mai. Big kudos to Ced en Jan for offering this once in a lifetime opportunity!!!
