안녕 (goodbye) and hello...

After a blundering final week in Seoul and a race out the door to Incheon airport, I was finally on my journey back to Australia. Forty-two hours of planes, trains and automobiles left me with enough time to finally finish my book and catch up on in-flight movies. Air China mistakenly left my luggage in Beijing, so when I finally landed, I found myself stranded in Sydney with minimal belongings and a desperate need to shower. Numb to it all after such a hectic travel itinerary, I set off to explore the city and soak some much needed sunshine. Then, after a fun night with friends at happy hour I awoke just in time to catch my train up north to Ballina where the weather is warm and the sun, oh so bright :)

Classic literature for thought...

"Man is primarily a creative animal, condemned to strive consciously toward a goal and to engage in the engineering arts; in other words, to be eternally and continually building roads for himself, leading somewhere, no matter where."

-Fyodor Dostoevsky, "Notes from Underground"
