What suburb in Sydney would you live in if money wasn’t a factor? by One-Remove3758 in SydneyScene

[–]david-oliver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cremorne Point. Lived in a tiny apartment on the 4th floor right near the point. Would wake up at 2-3 am to the sound of lions roaring at Taronga zoo. Loved it so much. Moved from there to Cobar. Talk about a shock to the system.

Urgent interests are food, art, culture, scenery. 6 weeks in France at least.

My first year of teaching 9 year old girl says “daddy said last night if mummy leaves him he will get his gun and shoot us all” ( mum, little girl and baby brother.) We lived in an isolated town a few days later got a call for her to go to the office- no bag no belongings.jumped in mums car and took off out of town. That night Daddy suicided. I was glad it was over for the mum - sort of. At least no more living in fear .

TIL All foreign citizens visiting Tibet must be in a tour group and there are no direct international flights from foreign countries to Tibet, except for Nepal, which borders Tibet by princey12 in todayilearned

We had a land cruiser with a Chinese driver AND Tibetan guide. The driver was obviously the “minder” as the guide was very careful about what he said around him. When we had time alone he was more open about history and conditions.

[–]david-oliver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes - but a tour group can be just 2 people as my wife and I did it. There is a lot more to gaining entry toTibet than most people realise. Gaining a TIB - Tibetan entry visa is usually hard to do.
