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. [...]

Sydney in colour, Brian Eno’s Luminous Festival

Sydney is an impressive place. Now imagine Sydney being even more impressive…
We’ve had a chance to experience Brian Eno’s Luminous – an amazing light festival, taken place between May and June 2009, using several buildings in Sydney to express the art.
It was quite surprising and amazing to watch the Opera House changing colours and [...]

The Polish Wedding Dancing Competition

Well this is it everyone, the video you’ve been waiting for over a year to see. The Polish Wedding Dancing Competition. Which I was able to win due to irrational behaviour caused by chronic alcohol intoxication from drinking a few litres of potato juice, wodka. (In Polish the word Vodka is spelt and pronounced wodka, [...]

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 sharks, [...]

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 didn’t anything substantial for charity. My last two endeavours were to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and cycle the South Downs Way.
On the 7th of September 2007 at 5,892 metres, I summated Mount Kilimanjaro with a small group of friends. Raising just over £12,000 for the Amani [...]

Moscow’s Metro – Underground Railway photo

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 massive [...]

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 was [...]

Bull shark feeding for Christmas planned in Fiji’s Beqa Lagoon

Dorota and I have just booked our flights, accommodation and diving for our Christmas trip to Fij. I’m really excited and can’t wait to get diving there. We’re not going for the tropical beaches, little islands and white sand, but to hand feed Bull and Tiger sharks. In fact we will get to see about [...]

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 that [...]

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 pavement in [...]
