Inspiration… Sydney Parliament an Innovation … wellll not really

By Christopher Hire On May 24th, 2007

Stomach ache, drugged up on sudafed, a double whiskey, and a glass of red… woo hoo.

Crappy dinner in hotel… well service is good but you don’t eat that. I think I will try to avoid hotel meals… there are a few posts I wanted to write, but I ran out of time, despite my internet, and I am tired. I have a bad headache as well. Joy.

I like travel, as I find it liberating to the mind, it helps you innovate. But anyone who says modern travel for work is somehow glamorous has rocks in their head. Airport secuirity, early starts, noisy hotels (this one has rugby team the Wallabies and a netball team staying tonight. Hopefully they aren’t on my floor.) and cr*p food. If they are, I will be mixing more Sudafed with copious amounts of alcohol to knock me out. Woo hoo.

Oh well. I have a food post in my travel blog where I share lunch and dinner with you. I think my stomach (which is sensitive) got out of whack from some barramundi. All culinary adventures do not end well, otherwise they wouldn’t be adventures.

Here’s the Innovation travel journal from Parramatta, Sydney.

Oh, by the way, on the news tonight that former PM, Cuckoo-clock Keating, he said Parliament should sit in Sydney. Great. And Iemma (Sydney boss), said well, Sydney is the only international city. Oh really, is that because it’s over-priced and very little infrastructure works, and everyone is leaving for Melbourne & Brisbane…?

If Iemma’s idiots could get the trains clean safe & running it would be a miracle. The joke was the former premier was a train-drivers son and now works for an investment Bank (who coincidentally own a lot of state infrastructure.)

NSW was the premier state, but… to say it’s a global city now is a joke.

Innovation needs to find anew home, where the livings cheap, and artists can afford to buy a paintbrush… nevertheless Sydney could be in for a future resurgence if property prices stagnate enough here relative to other markets, for earnings to catch-up.

Anyway, that’s all I’m leaving the gang of loud people in the restaurant to get drunk, and enjoy the rubbery steak, although they probably can’t spot the difference. Tip if it bounces and you’re wrist gets whiplash it’s rubber. I couldn’t have told the difference 10 years ago, I guess….it’s just too much eating out, and too much good food…

Ta ta for now.
