Down in Tainan: Day 8
http://juanitospace.blogspot.com/2010/04/day-8.html
Saturday, April 10, 2010. We had high hopes for this day, we wanted to do a big cycle and get over to the western side of Taiwan so that we could finally have the wind behind us. That didn't happen. What did happen was the complete opposite. At first the journey wasn't so bad, even though it was raining, the countryside and small villages were really quite picturesque. I left the station with a slight pang of jealousy. After cycling a few minutes downhill, out of nowhere civilisation hit us with a bang&#...

Project:Venice: April 2008
http://projektvenice.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Monday, 7 April 2008. Nice things in Belgium. Hi everyone, just a few notes from here in Ghent/Gent/Gand about what I'm up to and what I've seen. Perhaps Australia would have a larger economy if it was bilingual? Let's move on to nicer things:. 1) Door handles - I've spotted quite a few really cool door handles just up and down the street that I'm staying on. Venice has interesting door handles and doors in general but these ones here in Gent are funky. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Nice things in Belgium.

Project:Venice: Back to Perth
http://projektvenice.blogspot.com/2009/01/back-to-perth.html
Thursday, 29 January 2009. I'm back to Perth on Monday - in the meantime there's heaps to do at uni, in the lab, measurements, cleaning, etc. I'm looking forward to visiting, catching up with family and friends and maybe even going for a climb or two. Tomorrow night is Ali's gig, which will be very exciting too - hope to have a photo or two up sometime.from Oz? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Project:Venice: January 2008
http://projektvenice.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 23 January 2008. Paul and I have decided that a great analogy for my experience here so far is, well, starting your life all over again. OK. Probably a bit of an obvious analogy but let me take you through it. And then all of sudden, you are getting ushered out! All you want to do is sleep and eat at strange times of the day whilst your dependent other is intent on introducing you to everything and everyone. For the first week, all you can do is make noises - not even intelligible words, and y...

Project:Venice: September 2008
http://projektvenice.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 23 September 2008. Hi everyone, getting excited about a trip to Munich for Stevie Wonder and Oktoberfest - we're going on Thursday. Incidentally, I should mention that here in Italy "Munich" is called "Monaco di Baviera" - Monaco of Baveria - it always gives me fear when I'm buying tickets for Monaco di Baviera because I worry that I might end up with a ticket to (just) Monaco. . Thursday, 18 September 2008. Do these Italians ever do more than three consecutive months of work? Probably not.S...

Down in Tainan: Taiwan Cycle, Day 7
http://juanitospace.blogspot.com/2010/04/day-7.html
Saturday, April 10, 2010. Taiwan Cycle, Day 7. I think the weather in this trip can be classed into days. The first three days were pretty hot and sunny. The next three days were cloudy and windy but generally dry. And then from day seven onwards the weather turned ugly. Along with the ever present wind, it was now rainy, cold and damp. And as you can see by the few. Photos I took, none of us really felt like stopping to take pictures. Still, there were some interesting things in this leg of the trip.

Project:Venice: July 2008
http://projektvenice.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 22 July 2008. The weather here in Venice seems to be settling down a little after crazy days of bright sunshine interrupted by clouds and the odd spot of hail. It's no longer stiflingly hot and humid and there seems to be a bit of moderation in the winds, so it's still nice to eat out on the fondamenta in the evenings but you don't feel compelled to drink litres of water in the process just to stay hydrated. Thursday, 10 July 2008. Violin, guitar etc. and a French singer. They also creat...And b...

Project:Venice: August 2008
http://projektvenice.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, 31 August 2008. Review: "Burn after Reading" by Joel and Ethan Coen. There is one more external narrative to the film, which I won't go into. You'll find out about it when you see it - and enjoy it. Venice film fest part 1. Why is it so difficult to show films in english, or with english subtitles, in a city so given over to tourism as Venice? Why is the palazzo del cinema so criminally underused as to be left empty for 50 weeks of the year, when on Thursday night over 700 people turned up to Cam...

Project:Venice: March 2008
http://projektvenice.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, 29 March 2008. First experiences of Belgium - Bemusement at the labelling of a person on the airport concourse in front of me: he was wearing a 'Stella Artois' jacket and a Tintin backpack; Mirth at the idea that there's a Belgian Beer Cafe even in Brussels airport, Excitement at the abundance of chocolatiers, Concern when trying to understand the train timetables. Of muesli, and even some belgian beer (only leffes, chimay, grimbergen, kwak, some lambics, nothing too exotic). Sorry about the ra...
