Indian classical music

A friend invited me to his concert. This was very much a new experience! The way the violin is held and played, as well as peoples participation during the concert by a very distinctive way of counting the rhytm with the right arm and clapping it to the leg accordingly. I really enjoyed the Sanscrit singing. It is such a beatutiful language, sound very much like a chant.

Chess in Hyde Park

This made me think of Daniel Johansson who studied in Linköping he played chess all the time. Now with the power of internet we'll see how long before he reads this and send me an email or responds!

Liveability

Sydney is among the top 10. No US city in sight. Now I have to say that I did enjoy Vancouver but it does get cold there.
