papertrap {dot} net becomes a travel blog
But I promise it won’t suck. Man I hate travel blogs.
Today was Sunday, so I walked from Glebe into the city. It’s fucking hot here and sticky as well. I saw the Sydney Harbour Bridge… it was big and bridgey, but not really that big. The Opera House just raised my anger at how Australians want to make all public buildings, monuments and lampposts look like ship sails. What a crock. What I did like was the Botanic Gardens, though, and Glebe is okay, everything looks grungy and dirty (including the people) but you can tell it’s just a facade hiding vast amounts of money.
The dorm smells pretty bad, but in this weather it’s probably half my fault. I need a place of my own to live.

Welcome to Sydney. I can assure you, though, not everyone in Sydney has vast amounts of money. And wait til you see the Opera House at night.

So I take it this is a ‘permanent’ move (as much relevance as that concept has in our mobile ‘freelance nation’ times) ? Glebe is cool, but yeah a touch on the expensive side. Well by all means, if you want a Sydney-sider (by default, not by choice but I’ve been here on and off for 20 years so close enough) to show you ’round and don’t have 50 million other reader offers already, drop me a line here or on my crappy blog and I’m happy to tee something up !

I am glad that you have the potential to have a warm ear.

Very schmick layout; only you need a couple of mm left margin. There’s a hotel in Glebe used to do poetry readings on a Sunday; probably still does. You may care to read my George W. Bush inauguration poem. Prose really. Anywai. It’s on the half page blog at www.notthewest.blogspot.com . bret
