When you think of the words Australia and city, one place come to mind: Sydney! This beautiful city in southeastern Australia has everything this country is famous for. One thing to consider is that this city is famous for more than just its beautiful opera house and its stunning bridge. This city boasts a busy waterfront scene, tall buildings, a multicultural background, a bustling infrastructure, and a beach culture unlike anywhere else on the planet. Like a kangaroo, this city will definitely put a spring in your step; and like the opera house, it will put a song in your heart!
Whenever I stay in Sydney, I have made it a habit to stay at the Four Point Sheraton on Darling Harbour. But I don’t just stay here because of it’s reasonable rates, comfy atmosphere, and friendly staff. Like in real estate, Location, Location, Location! The hotel lies between the bustling intersection of Town Hall and the scenic waterfront area of...
When we last left our beloved heroes, they were on their Aussie pub-crawl from Central Station to Allianz Stadium at Moore Park. Fueled by cold beer and the need for getting back at those goons in maroon from last year’s semi-final match, we were more determined than ever to see our beloved Bunnies get their redemption. I was ambling along the streets of...
It was beginning to feel a whole lot like deja vu: one year ago, I came to Sydney for my first Rabbitohs game, only to see the red and green get toppled by the Sydney Roosters. At least one year ago at ANZ Stadium, the Bunnies led most of the game. This time around, I arrived to see the Rabbitohs get beaten again by the Roosters on their own turf at Allianz...
It is often said that one oughta never meet their heroes in person, for they will only be disappointed and/or heartbroken. And to think Hollywood arguably invented that dumb saying, and to think they’re the ones who enable John Q. Public to love their heroes. It’s like mass manufactured masochism in the name of money. But I digress. For I am not here...
Reuniting with my mates in The Burrow and getting a hug off of Reggie was certainly the high point of the night at Allianz for me. Also, speaking of which, I would like to apologize to my readers and fans about the video quality of the clip shown in the previous article. I wasn’t fully aware that I had the camcorder pointed downwards and tilted to the side...
As loyal readers of my blog and avid fans of the South Sydney Rabbitohs know, I have much respect for the team, and even more respect for their beloved mascot, Reggie. As described in an earlier entry, I practically poured my heart out for just how important this enormous bunny is to the oldest and most winning rugby league club in Australia. And quite frankly, I...
What started out as a day of hope and promise, turned into a cold and wet night of heartbreak and deja vu. I was shuffling my feet out of the steel bird’s nest that is Allianz Stadium; a place that would be now synonymous with pain, and I am not just saying this because it is the home field of the Sydney Roosters. 12 hours earlier, I had just touched down at...
When we last left our heroes, the South Sydney Rabbitohs, they were leading the Melbourne Storm 14-0 at the half. The Rabbitohs were putting on a hell of a show, denying Melbourne both the opportunity to score as well as taking advantage of Melbourne’s dropped ball errors. Suffice it to say, the Bunnies were doing their job! As for myself and Bill, we were...
Sydney enjoys a proud reputation as one of the world’s most livable cities; statistically, it is known for its “high levels of happiness”. And if you hop on a ferry boat from Circular Quay and ride it to any one of Sydney’s coastal suburbs, you can easily understand why locals love this city surrounded by surf and sunshine. From the breakers...
With the sweet strains of Glory Glory still echoing throughout ANZ Stadium, it was time for the Bunnies to avenge last night’s loss, as well as snap a lengthy losing streak against Melbourne. The moment of time was about to reckon with the opening kickoff from the Storm. The opening kick flew across the field, cutting through the air, and landed into the arms...
