As many of us know Apple does some great products, recently I fooled around a bit with trailers on iMovie ’11. Here is an interesting trailer for our upcoming immigration to Australia.

Household is on the move
We are done, the household is on route to the warehouse where it will spend the next 6 months away from us. We are sad… very sad… we loved our place and this was our home for a decade. I am sure that in two weeks we will be excited and smiling but today isContinue reading “Household is on the move”
Global Citizen
It is no secret that I despite the fact that I am Greek by birth I feel more at home in an anglophone world. The irony is, I spend most of my life in the German world and I carry a German passport, indeed it is my “main” passport. I am at home here. MyContinue reading “Global Citizen”
Australia
It has been two years since we were on that trip to Australia. I have been meaning to write this post ever since we got back from Oz but so many things have happened and so much has changed that I have taken my time with it. I have refreshed and updated the look ofContinue reading “Australia”
Our last few days in Australia
After a nice flight during which Ben made lots of new friends and a great impression on a cute air hostess (is that the politically correct expression for a stewardess now days?) we landed in Melbourne and picked up our rental. It took us a little longer than we expected as they gave us aContinue reading “Our last few days in Australia”
Tropical Queensland – Part 2
We were sick by now of the rain so we decided to find a place that we at least did not get wet. It was a bit difficult as the whole region between the Fiji Islands and most of Northern Queensland was heavily influenced by a series of cyclones, the radar showed covered skies everywhere. Continue reading “Tropical Queensland – Part 2”
Tropical Queensland
It has been a few weeks since we are back home but there are a couple more posts at least to complete our trip to Australia. The last week we were there we went up to Port Douglas, fully aware that a cyclone had devastated Fiji and Whitesunday but we had booked and organized everythingContinue reading “Tropical Queensland”
Ballarat, VIC
After Sydney we flew back to Melbourne for a quick weekend before we headed out again to Port Douglas in Queensland for a week of R&R. After all when you are on vacation for two months you do get tired of it and an R&R in the tropics is the way to go. The weekendContinue reading “Ballarat, VIC”
Sydney – Part 2
Everything in Sydney is about the harbor. As one non-Sydney (how do you call someone who lives in Sydney?) resident told me Sydney is the harbor with 5% that have a view of it and 95% who want to have a view of the harbor. Any property with view of the harbor gets an instantContinue reading “Sydney – Part 2”
Sydney
When one mentions Australia there are two things that come to mind, especially after the Olympics of 2000, Sydney and beaches. Well it is all for a good reason. If there is one place that you can visit in Australia it has to be the state of New South Wales. I wondered why it isContinue reading “Sydney”
Great Ocean Road – Part 2
As far as coffee places is concerned, I stand corrected, I actually have seen a Starbucks it was empty and it is the first one after driving for about 8000km since we got here in the beginning of February and that is fine by me. The drive on the Great Ocean Road was planned fromContinue reading “Great Ocean Road – Part 2”
The Great Ocean Road and coffee!
This will be a short post as we are at the airport right now and we will board our flight to Sydney shortly. So I will start with the important things first, got to keep our priorities straight. Coffee! I have yet to taste bad coffee here in Australia and there are coffee houses everywhere.Continue reading “The Great Ocean Road and coffee!”
