I touched down in Sydney this morning. It's been an eventful 2 weeks to be sure. Bali was good; I'll post some pictures and a few impressions once I get a bit more time and bit less jet-lag. The short version is that it was good, though the hyper-catering to the almighty tourist dollar was both distracting and off-putting to varying degrees. I'm somewhat reluctant to comment in depth given my (very) brief time there, but I don't know that more time would have substantially changed my impressions - unless I explored other parts of the island. Regrettably, due to time constraints I wasn't able to go very far or see too much away from the main tourist centers.
I don't know if I posted it before, but the justification for being in Sydney this weekend is that this weekend marks the beginning of the selection process for the Aus National Team, in anticipation of the World Country Championships in Vancouver next year. Fingers crossed. From here I'll head up to Brisbane, as there is a(nother) tournament up there next weekend. Hopefully the groin strain I managed to pick up in Singapore and exacerbate surfing in Bali (not particularly well, I might add) won't act up too much. Signing off for now...
Glad you made it back safely - today is black Saturday as we should be climbing the rice paddies together in Bali! :(

How did the tournament go? Hope you are having as much fun playing frisbee as you would be in Bali;)
