Well at long last some of the interviews and book reviews are rolling in. I am pleased to say that the loverly Phil Brown of the Brisbane News interviewed me.  Phil and I had loads in common - can you believe he was brought up in the East (Hong Kong) before he came to Australia.  Wow - some people have such exciting lives.  We swapped lots of travel stories.  Which was very handy as he could recommend some  great travel tips which I will use in my new travel segment - first one is tomorrow morning (13th Feb) at 10am in Australia.  If you want to keep abreast of my travel tips please visit my travel blogsite.

BTW Phil has the coolest reading glasses (see his picture in his column at Brisbane News) and I'm gonna get me a pair of them babies.  I'm heavily into geek eyewear and the fabo ones I bought in Shanghai disintegrated on me. Shanghai is THE place for cheap glasses and if you spend more than AUD700 on a pair here then I suggest you combine holidaying with eyewear purchasing.  But at least now I know that I like that style.  I'm interested in the Clearly Contacts website - I've never ordered glasses online -- their prices are so reasonable that I will definitely give them a try.    I missed the last special because of the flood in Brisbane so I'm hanging out for their next one.
