But it says 'Amsterdamhaus'.

Haus is German. Dutch would be Huis.

Someone correct me otherwise?

jeez, get this man a medal! I thought id have to give a few clues for the first one but if someone had been there they would have known it

Germany, we actually stayed near Hannover with a mate who is working there but visited Hamburg a couple of times (got to drive on the autobahn in our hired peugeot, foot flat to the floor, going down hill with a tail wind i managed 165 for a couple of minutes

), no one would have know where the hell Hannover was

Lords was awesome, we did a tour, which was taken by a MCC member (Marylebone Cricket Club, not Melbourne), i would highly reccommend it to anyone who is remotely interested in cricket. Even my girlfriend who hardly knows anything about cricket thought it was good.

Shanghai was for a conference I was invited to speak at. Nice place, easy to get around, great food and heaps to see and do. We went up the Pearl tower (funny shaped tower in the photo).

Beijing was similar, we were guests of a professor there and got treated to awesome lunch and dinners, eating delicious foods such as chickens feet, ducks stomach, ducks tongue etc etc. The photo is in tienamen sq

Yes, circular quay last weekend, not much more to say

was nice enough

Singapore was our first stop (then china and europe), i loved it - cheap, everyone spoke english, great food, heaps of shopping (bought a digital SLR there)

Will get a few more photos up shortly.

Autobahns are the coolest thing Hitler did. I was based in Germany for 3 months with work and one of my colleagues loaned me (well it was a 2 car convoy in total) his M5 for a weekend in Prague. The most enjoyable roadtrip ever, got lost and almost wound up in Berlin.

BuzzPuppy · Nov 21, 2009

...at Mach 1?

mookers · Nov 21, 2009

mmmmmmmmmm chickens feet

and hey, at least I got the correct country for number 1.

Finally got a round to hosting the pics....

the best she could do going up hill......

Our 'weapon of choice - only 130 kms on the clock when handed over

Hannover zoo - one of the best zoos ive ever been to

Celle, Germany

View from Hannover town hall - the lake at the back was built just prior to world war II on hitlers orders, to create employment (doesnt sound too unlike Rudds current efforts). In winter it can freeze over and you can skate on it
