Bit of a different writing format than usual but THE BIG ONE! The musical of musicals! Les Miserables! And WHAT A PRODUCTION! It was darn near perfect- in my mind lead by the most wonderful of Javert’s (my favourite character in Les Mis) Hayden Tee. Incredible voice, and lovely guy! But everyone was wonderful, and …
Aida is probably not my most favourite opera, and I’ve since decided that perhaps all Verdi operas are not really my thing, but you could literally see anything on the outdoor stage they build specifically for Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour and it will still take your breath away. Wow as always Sydney- you really …
My second Korean Travel Tip is actually something that I mentioned back in my Imagination Trip, but I think it’s one of the most important made-such-a-difference-to-my-trip pointers that it deserves its own post as well!

For those who are unfamiliar with the term, White Day is celebrated in Korea, Japan, Taiwan and China and occurs one month after Valentine’s Day (which is on the 14th February). Traditionally in these countries Valentine’s …
I really like this musical, especially the recording with Brian Stokes Mitchell ❤ "The Impossible Dream" is of course one of the Great Songs of Musical Theatre Repertoire, but there are so many other great pieces in this musical too. I was so glad Squabbalogic was able to put this one on so I could finally …
This will be the first of my little shared tips for travelling to Korea! They will be predominantly focused on Seoul, because I haven’t had much of the chance to travel outside of Seoul yet (although I’m desperate to!!). I hope they help you plan your own Korea Adventures, and if you have any further questions about …
