Back from Sydney. It was nice. I really wish we'd had a few more days there, and not just because Death Cab for Cutie are playing there on Friday.
The walk yesterday from Bondi to Cogee Beach was a bird geek's paradise. We saw lots of new (to us) species of Australian Birds, including Cockatoos, King Parrots, some kind of Cormorant, some type of honeyeater, some willy wagtails, fairy wrens, and some beefed up mynahs and magpies much bigger than the ones we have in Singapore.
The water was gorgeous as well and we saw some kind of whale (Southern Right Whale perhaps) right off the beach at Bondi where people were surfing.
Sydney's a nice place, it reminded me a bit of Boston with milder weather and without all the colleges.
