That's awesome. When and where is the best time to see them here?

most of my time in canada it was cloudy as fk when the sky was green

check out the aurora australis - it got right up to mid NSW last year...

Where are you staying in Dubai? It is good to go car perving, also check out Atlantis. Great nightlife.

I just had a week in Denmark, great place.

I'm heading on a work trip today to the following places:
Dubai: 2nd - 3rd April
Stockholm: 4th - 7th April

Anyone got any tips on cool things to do at those places this time of year?

So far all I have locked in is Hammarby vs Östersunds FK on Monday.

This is not that far, but has anyone been here->



Apart from French women escaping the miserable winter in France. Is there anything interesting about this place?

Awesome, thanks for help :)

Aurora Borealis anyone?

I don't know why I have the strange compulsion to go see something like this once in my life?

My wife went about 7 years ago. Did a month around europe. She said that yeah people go out but its not a piss up trip like contiki. She isn't much of a drinker and just did what she wanted. She went with a friend who liked the booze but it still wasnt out of hand. She says you can make it what you want.

Has anybody here been on a TopDeck tour before? Been thinking of planning a trip through Scandinavia but I don't feel like going alone. I don't drink much and I was a bit worried it might be a bit of a piss up like Contiki. I'm really just looking for company for when I go sightseeing

Yeah I've only spent a week in Auckland for work and play and it's nothing like Adelaide apart from it's size. I didn't hate my time there, the harbour was nice and the office I was situated in Takapuna had a top notch view of the boats sailing about. That part has a Sydney feel to it.

Heading down the island and spending time in Rotorua and Taupo (only had a weekend) was awesome though. Looking forward to taking my kids there one day.

None of these things are in Auckland. :lol:

I've been working my arse off for the last few weeks, just kicking back here for a few days before the game before I head out is doing me a world of good. :)

Hmmm... maybe it's just me but i love going to Adelaide. The weather is good, there's lots of different faces to the city AND it has the weatsheaf hotel.

Auckland is a bit shit.

It's like if you got Adelaide and filled it with Kiwis.

In fairness, all the advice I got from my Kiwi friends before I came here was "get out of Auckland". :lol:

Some good ideas for when you come to the best city in Australia. Come to Hindmarsh too of course ;)

^ Its just another beach? In all honesty, yet it draws British tourists mindlessly

Im not sure what the obsession with the beach is anyway?

Yeah that was fucked haha.

I will never look at this place as merely some rare castle in the Australasian region :( ->

Arrived back this morning after 2 and a half weeks in Japan. Absolutely loved the culcha 10/10 would go back again - maybe not in summer though.

If I won the loterry I'd buy a house at Hakone.

Place is pristine.

How are you finding the heat? Depending on what you are doing a sweat towel will be a great investment.

May be too late! But when I went to Singapore I only had a couple of days too.

Universal studios, and singapore slings.

Finally made it to Tokyo after leaving Cairns @ midday today.

Sleep times.

Hey fellas. Does anyone here have any suggestions on what to do in Bali (4 days), Kuala Lumpur (2 days) and Singapore (2 days)? I'm going next week and I have nothing planned haha!

Yeah I'm there on the 12th.

Off to Japan Monday! \:d/ \:d/

Absolutely m8. Bummer we missed this chance!

I've just seen this now while doing a bit of reading. I've been and gone back. Damn I would've met up as all mates and family were working a lot of the time. Next time perhaps.

Go back through the thread. I think I and a few others posted about it. I'm going back to the NYC apartment this year with two mates and the lady is charging $100 US a night. 33 bucks a head in NYC is insanely cheap nearly unheard of for the awesome place we get. If anyone is interested pm me and I'll give her Airbnb ad.

Currently using airbnb in Japan and don't have a single complaint. One bloke even met up with us and took us to his favourite resteraunt on top if you have any problems they get back to you within an hour

One of my mates, arguably the most Strayan guy I know, did an Australian contiki tour. He said it was the greatest experience of his life. He got to see a bunch of Australia he always wanted to, plus he was on a bus with a dozen Swedish people who wanted to sleep with Australians :lol: and he cleaned up :lol:
