July 11th, 2010 · No Comments
Wollongong city in New South Wales is easily accessible from Sydney. It is a multi-ethnic city and is famously known as 'the Gong'. Its name is synonymous with pristine beaches, breathtaking coastlines, beautiful parks, industries and coal mines. The meaning of the word Wollongong is believed to be 'the sound of the waves' in the native language.
The boom of industry in the city in the early 1800s caused an influx of people from various regions and as a result, it has an extremely diverse population of several ethnicities like Greeks, Italians, Turks, Chinese, Indians and their very own native Aboriginal people. All these people bought with them their own ingredients to add to the mix and hence, it has a really festive atmosphere almost all around the year. Its multi-ethnic residents live in harmony.

June 11th, 2010 · No Comments
Door County, Wisconsin is the playground for the well-to-do from the Chicago area. It is a peninsula jutting out into Lake Michigan with many resort towns teeming with tourists.
We had an uneventful drive to Door County and set up camp at Harbor Village Resort in Carlsville, Winconsin. This boasts two solar panel heated swimming pools, one with two water slides. The latter closed after Labor Day. When we registered we asked where we might get a satellite signal. The lady said at the far end. We started driving, looking for a site. All we saw were trees. Then the vista opened to open farmland. We had reached Nirvana. We had access to the satellite. Oh the simple pleasures of life.
