vivid

Made a plan to come back on the ferry from Manley after dark to see Vivid around Circular Quay; lots of light installations and projections onto buildings (including the Opera House). Of course incredibly crowded and the folks pretty jet-lagged, but did enjoy extraordinary series of animations onto the Customs House, entitled enchanted Sydney. 

politest bus-stop in the world?

Have already mentioned the pleasures of non-car transport in Perth. Am also stunned by the design quality of the bus stops.  These are the most elegant and minimal I have ever seen (similar or better examples from elsewhere welcome) - being flat and rectangular aluminium panels, about the height of an average ten year old. But of course, that means they contain almost no information at all.
