Stoked About Sydney

Ostensibly in Sydney to see in the New Year, HRH Tengku Zatashah Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah and Aubry Mennesson make fabulous discoveries of food, luxury and seaplanes in the Emerald City.

When we went to Sydney to celebrate New Year’s Eve, we hadn’t bargained for such an amazing trip! We took a Riva boat out to the Harbour Bridge next to the Opera House and saw the most incredible display of fi reworks we’ve ever seen. It was a mind-blowing way to kick off 2012 and, as one would say in Australia, “we were stoked!”

Excerpt

Her journey takes her through numerous adventures, beginning with a peculiar, talking white rabbit and ending with a malevolent queen. Along the way, she meets singing flowers, anthropomorphic creatures and, depending on whether you’re familiar with the original (or Disney-fied version) of the story, is riddled with underlying theories, inferences and influences.</p>
