@ Yvonne

bei der langen Liste frag ich mich allerdings schon, warum du Brisbane langweilig findest

weil

- die meisten Aktivitaeten draussen stattfinden und bei Regen absolut doof sind (und die letzten 6 Monate hat es nicht wenig geregnet)...

- man ja leider jeden Tag arbeiten muss und es selbst im Sommer so frueh dunkel wird...

- Ich super gerne in Kunstmuseen gehe und es in Brisbane ausser ein paar Gallerien nur das eine GOMA gibt welches alle 6 Monate mal seine Ausstellung wechselt...

- es einfach nicht genug Auswahl an guten Restaurants, Bars, Clubs, Theatern gibt...

- wir 98% der Liste schon gemacht haben...

- Und weil ich sowieso immer umtriebig bin/war/es immer sein werde und mich Orte schnell langweilen (hat wahrscheinlich noch nicht mal viel mit Brisbane zu tun...)...

OT an: New York City war bisher meine "laengste" Station und dort war mir tatsaechlich nicht langweilig, allerdings war die Lebensqualitaet im "Shoeboxapartment ohne Tageslicht" etwas gewoehnungsbeduerftig und der Lebensstil hat nach 6 Jahren auch gereicht... OT aus.

So...

Danke fuer den link, das ist ne klasse Seite!!!

Achja, wenn jemand naehere Info's zu den o.g. Aktivitaeten braucht fragt entweder Tante Google oder mich

Gruss,
Yvonne

OK hier noch ein paar aktuelle Tips:

[list]
Ron Mueck im GOMA! 01.05.10 - 01.08.10
This exhibition surveys a group of major works by Australian-born, London-based sculptor Ron Mueck. Mueck’s sculptures are some of the most widely acclaimed and identifiable works in the international contemporary art arena. Often naked and suspended in states of self-consciousness, introspection or deep contemplation, his figures present both emotional and physical states of exposure. Astounding in their realism, Mueck’s works have earned him a singular place as the creator of some of the most evocative sculptures of our time. Featuring celebrated works from Australian and international collections, in addition to new sculptures, it will be one of the most comprehensive exhibitions of Mueck’s work ever presented
