Well i’m back from Italy, the land of Pizza and Pasta. It was a long haul to get around the cities and the driving was terrible, with street signs just not making any sense at all especially in places like Piza where there are literally hundreds of one-way streets.

But the Pizza’s on the whole were good, and I managed to take quite a few good photo’s in the week over there. I will have to post some of them some time soon. I visited Piza, Milan and Venice in the space of a week, driving between the places on autoways and generally feeling like a lame tourist! In the end I guess it was a good experience and i don’t think i will be taking anything in Australia for granted in the near future. Its rather scary when the only choice of restaurant you have for the night is Italian or Italian.

It will be good to be back in Aus some time soon, however not to soon, i still have to visit Berlin.

Yesterday evening i went and saw Les Misérables at The Queens Theatre in Londons West End. The staging was fantastic and the use of great scenery and lighting effects made for a spectacular evening. One of the main stage techniques of the production was the use of a revolving stage, where the entire centre section of the stage is able to rotate in a circular motion.

This allows for quick and efficient scene changes by distracting the viewer with motion at the front of the stage while in the dark at one side at the back furniture and props are placed onto the turntable. they in turn come into view and stop at the correct position at the centre of the stage.

It also allows for effective representation of all things timely such as going on a journey and marching to war. All in all another spectacular musical show, well worth seeing if it ever comes to your neck of the woods. For a show that has been running for 21 years it still draws quite a crowd every night.
