Have a ‘Budding Winter’ at Hong Kong Park
Since I was young I’ve always loved visiting Hong Kong Park (map). To this day, it still brings some wonderful memories of my childhood running around the playgrounds, chasing the birds and seeing numerous wedding photo shoots around the vicinity. Hong Kong Park is a great development in the city and I’m amazed at how well they’ve been able to maintain its state. From the cascading waterfalls to the manmade ponds, it really is a paradise in the middle of the busy metropolis.
Hong Kong Park...

The Red Rattler Slithers Into Sydney
Sydney’s newest creative venue is The Red Rattler. This exciting space will showcase the city’s underground musicians, designers, filmmakers, and multimedia artists.
It’s the brainchild of five women frustrated with the high rents for performance spaces and police intervention for unsanctioned arts displays.

Opéra en Plein Air at Jardin du Luxembourg
One of my favorite things to do is find myself in places where I shouldn’t be….or at least find myself in places that I could be but are closed off to the rest of the world.

My family was able to walk throughout the General Life Gardens during out stay in a parador on site. The sun was setting behind...
