		<description><![CDATA[Today over Sydney clouds have gathered, dropping the temperature and bathing the city in an grey glare. They spit light rain down on my shoulders as I walk the town I love. It is strange being back in Australia. The accents are jarring. I feel more comfortable listening to the Canadian across from me than [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Need to get around Montreal? Jump on a Bixi Bike! These public bikes are a brilliant idea. All you need to do to hire a bike is swipe your credit card. You get a little receipt with a code on it. Next you just choose any bike, enter the code and you&#8217;re off riding. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Prague was in my opinion the most beautiful city in Europe. It was like a fairy tale and I didn&#8217;t think I would find a city that could top it in the beauty stakes. That was until I found Quebec. Quebec (or Quebec City), the capital of the Quebec Province is quite a small town [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Toronto, not high on my list of “must sees” to begin with had quite a hard act to follow in New York. The city is the biggest in Canada with a population of around 8 million (depending on who you talk to), but it seemed empty and unsure of itself. The tower that looms over [...]]]></description>

The city has seduced me, taken my soul while I was off guard and sliced off a piece. With each [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve seen snow in Tokyo, I&#8217;ve stood at the foot of Colusseum and I&#8217;ve touched the Berlin wall and, in the outskirts of Switzerland, I visited one of my &#8220;must see&#8217;s&#8221; : Liechtenstein. When I mentioned [...]]]></description>

Some countries TV is fairly boring: I&#8217;m looking at you Germany, while others such as Japan have an awesome absolutely crazy television experience. I love Japanese TV. Italy however provides probably the most enjoyable viewing. For the guys [...]]]></description>

I don&#8217;t mean to offend anyone, but it seems that pretty much all the chicks in Florence are studying &#8220;Mass Communication&#8221; or &#8220;Fashion&#8221; but none of them [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Lonely Planet describes Vienna as a wedding cake and after the three days I spent there I think its’ a fairly apt description. It is a city with no soul. Don’t get me wrong; Vienna is beautiful. I loved my time there. I spent my days wandering the city and checking out the palace [...]]]></description>
