    • Day 92

      Sydney Kings

      October 21, 2022 in Australia ⋅ 🌧 19 °C

      Wir haben uns ein Auto gemietet, um die Bereiche hier im Norden Sydneys zu erkunden, die mit den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln nicht so gut zu erreichen sind.

      Am Abend haben wir uns dann ein Spiel der Sydney Kings angeguckt. Diese führt derzeit die Tabelle der NBA hier in Australien an. Typisch amerikanisch beziehungsweise in diesem Fall australisch, war das ununterbrochene Unterhaltungsprogramm auch in kurzen Spielpausen. Ein Erlebnis.

      Auf dem Weg dorthin konnten wir noch Pauls oftmals wiederholten Wunsch nach einem Harry Potter Laden erfüllen.

    • Day 97

      Sydney - NRL

      April 7, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

      Today we had to move from our accommodation which we found really odd. It was a lovely place with a private room and shared bathrooms which were evidently cleaned, however we barely saw anyone else there which is why we found it very odd that it was booked up for the rest of the week!

      We decided to head to the museum today as it's free and was a pretty good museum! It had areas on the aboriginals, the history and also the animals! From here we headed to the stadium for our NRL game of the bulldogs VS rabitors. The first great experience was the double decker, chair flipping trains they had! We also had free transport with our NFL ticket which I also loved. The weather was perfect when we got to the stadium and we had time for some pre match drinks outside. We loved how the bar was full of both teams! The game was good and we managed to meet up with Christine and Ash, who we met back in Laos! We went for some drinks and chips before parting ways again for what would be the final time.

      What a Day! Perth - Sydney -FF

      January 27, 2018 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

      Nach exakt 5.804 gefahren Kilometer an der Westküste mit vielen traumhaften Orten und tollen Erlebnissen ist der erste Abschnitt meiner Reise schon vorbei. Wahnsinn wie schnell die ersten knapp 4 Wochen vorbei gerast sind 😢
      Mit dem Flieger ging’s ins knapp 4 Stunden entfernte Sydney. Aufgrund der zusätzlichen 3 Stunden Zeitunterschied war es hier schon 18:30 Uhr als wir gelandet sind!
      Während der Fahrt zum Hostel schwirrte mir die ganze Zeit im Kopf herum, dass die Foo Fighters heute in der Stadt sind und im Olympiastadion ein Konzert spielen. Realistisch zeitlich eigentlich unmöglich in 1,5 Std zu schaffen um im Hostel einzuchecken, Gepäck los zu werden und ins außerhalb liegende Stadion zu fahren 🤨
      Als ich im Hostel war hat’s mir trotzdem keine Ruhe gelassen und ich dachte ich fahr mal raus und höre von außen etwas zu... 🎸🥁
      Glücklicherweise fuhr direkt vor meiner Unterkunft ein Sonderzug raus zum Stadion und ich war schneller dort als erwartet 😊 eine Ordnungskraft teilte mir zwar dann mit, die Ticketschalter sind bereits geschlossen und daher wollte ich einfach mal drum herum laufen als ich doch noch eine offene Ticketbox entdeckte und diese sofort ansteuerte, schnell die Kreditkarte zückte und schon war ich doch noch dabei! Ich konnte mein Glück kaum fassen 🍀 Zwar hab ich die ersten 20 Min verpasst, aber da das Konzert 3 Stunden ging wurde ich mehr als entschädigt!
      Es war der absolute Wahnsinn! Definitiv eines der besten Konzerte die ich je besucht habe! Die Band war Mega drauf, die Leute gingen voll mit, dazu ein Bier was will man mehr 🤟
      Sydney 💖💖

    • Day 84

      Game Day der Sydney Kings

      January 4 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

      Der Tag begann mit einem Abstecher zu Paddys Market, einem großen Markt in der Innenstadt, bei dem wir Souvenirs für unsere Familien kauften.
      Am Abend stand dann ein Highlight von Finn an: das Basketballspiel in der NBL zwischen den Sydney Kings und Melbourne United!
      In einer riesigen Halle standen sich die beiden Top-Teams lange auf Augenhöhe gegenüber, zum Schluss zog Tabellenführung Melbourne davon und gewann. Ein hammer Spiel mit ehemaligen NBA Spieler wie Denzel Valentine und Matthew Dellavedova, da ging Finns Basketball-Herz auf! 😍🏀

      BTS The Wings Tour

      May 26, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

      BTS have released music in a number of different genres, but their most popular songs vary between Hip Hop, RnB, Dance, and K-Pop. The seven-man group also tend to be particularly explosive on stage and their live performances are well-known for being very energetic.

      The boys have come a long way since their debut album 2 Cool 4 Skool came out in June 2013. On the back of that initial success, the group produced a Japanese version appealing to their fans beyond South Korea in April 2014. Unlike many other acts, the boys are keen thinkers about their music, often taking an active role in both writing the lyrics and producing the tracks. This multi-lingual enthusiastic approach to making music caught many by surprise in their early years. So what more reason could you need to buy Bangtan Boys tickets and get ready for a fantastic concert!

    • Backstreet Boys [In A World Like]

      May 9, 2015 in Australia ⋅ 🌙 15 °C

      The Backstreet Boys are returning to Aussie shores, bringing their In A World Like This Tour down under this May in support of their latest album. What’s more, the pop superstars are bringing original Backstreet Boy Kevin Richardson, who they reunited with in 2013.

      Backstreet Boys’ latest album — 2013’s In A World Like This — features all five original members, and has already seen sold out shows across Europe and North America, but the band haven’t performed on Australian shores since 2012, back when they were still a four-piece.

      Backstreet Boys smashed through hits such as Everybody (Backstreet’s Back), I Want It That Way, Incomplete and Larger Than Life on that tour, but they’re now ready to return to Australia with new material, after such an agonising wait for fans.

      “This last year and a half of touring with my bandmates again couldn’t have been any better, but I’m so excited to finally get back to Australia and play for our Aussie fans,” says Richardson. “It wouldn’t feel complete without spending time in one of our favorite places!”

      The Australian leg of the Backstreet Boys’ In A World Like This Tour will see the group play huge arena shows in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth, beginning in Melbourne on Saturday, 9th May. Tour and ticket details are available below.

    • Big Bang [Made World Tour]

      October 17, 2015 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

      K-pop's most popular idol group Big Bang will be playing in Sydney for the first time in September this year. The concert will be part of their Made world tour, which is named after their album, also due for release in September. The album will be their first as a band since 2012. This tour is likely to be the last before the band members undergo their mandatory military service.

      In the past few years Big Bang's five members, G-Dragon, Taeyang, T.O.P., Daesung and Seungri have worked on solo music projects and in television and film. G-Dragon's chart-topping 2012 album Coup D'Etat featured collaborations with western artists such as Missy Elliott, Diplo and Sky Ferreira​; while Taeyang's ballad Eyes Nose Lips sold close to 2 million units in South Korea and charted in many other countries last year. Big Bang's 2012 hit Fantastic Baby was recently used in a trailer for the film Perfect Pitch 2.

      The five-piece were formed by YG Entertainment, one of South Korea's biggest music companies, and debuted in 2006. They quickly found a fanbase at home as well as abroad and in 2011 won the MTV Europe Music Award for best worldwide act. This year they won a YouTube Music Award, along with labelmates, girl group 2NE1.
