I'm glad to see that the Aussie luxury travellers are eschewing the USA for this year's travel and that Canada is a beneficiary.

So the USA just invades countries now and abducts their leaders!? WTF. Why aren't the right whingers who said they voted for Trump because of no new wars flooding the streets in protest?

Yesterday we had lunch in an old converted church. Today we did some shopping in another converted church. I really love these conversions - especially when the original construction was beautiful Sydney sandstone. I have to keep my eye out for more now I know it's a thing.

Sydney just being Sydney.

We are thoroughly enjoying being tourists in our home town. It's truly a beautiful, one of a kind city.

This is a great use for a church! Great middle eastern food. Aambra, Sydney.

I've often had a laugh at Aussie parking signs and their overly complex nature. This one I just saw is actually not too bad, some can way over the top.

A few days back in Australia and I now remember why everyone hates Optus! Coverage is still shit!

Check out the pool at our Airbnb! Beautiful old wharf building converted to 25m pool with the original bricks and beams. Looks amazing, will get some laps down while I'm here.

Remember that residential cruise ship, The World? It's parked out front of our Airbnb in Sydney.

With 165 private residencies it's the world's biggest private yacht and has between 100 to 200 people aboard at any time.

My first ever Christmas Day flight and the crew at Singapore Airlines made it a bit of fun with decorations on board and even a Christmas card at the lounge.

Seems Netanyahu is hell bent on making Israel a truly pariah states.

The decline in women’s rights is measurable. In the 2025–26 Women, Peace and Security Index, Israel ranks 84 of 181 countries – behind Albania, Russia, and Saudi Arabia.

Ooh - earthquake in Taipei! Building was doing some good sway. Glad we weren't up Taipei 101 😅

The high speed rail in Taiwan is pretty good. You can pretty much go from the top of the country to the bottom (345km) in an hour and half.

The train driver on Kaohsiung metro saying "we wish you a merry Christmas" in English over the PA system is peak Taiwan 😄

I know it's a hot country, but..... I keep getting beer served on ice cubes and red wine served in an ice bucket. Please don't.

Our favourite place in Kaohsiung is SunnyHills. You walk in and get seated at big wooden community tables then get served hot oolong tea and full sized pineapple or apple cake. All for free. They sell the pineapple cakes, but make no ask that you buy. Radical hospitality.

So what happens when a NATO member invades another NATO member?

The governor already has a full-time job, but the Republican has apparently accepted a new and unexpected side gig.

Formosan macaques are very polite hikers, keeping to the right side of the trails.
