interludes

Hey All,

I would like to jet off to SYD, say 2-3 weeks, maybe a weekend in MEL etc. Would be my first time to OZ.

Been living in AMS for dog gone years, the whole idea of fags in flags is rather a non starter for moi, guys with no clothes on gyrating away, too common currency , and yeah only hit the scene when Im traveling. You know, culture and ambience with some local fauna and flora..anyways..

With that in mind, what would you guys recommend.

Should I travel over new years, take in the fireworks over harbor bridge, ring in the new, smooching some temp flame or time it for Mardi Gras. I must admit I'm daunted by huge crowds..

Do the gays take over SYD for Mardi Gras?

Thanks!
