Welcome the Pope to Sydney for World Youth Day (week) 2008:
The common gather-area is @ where they called the Barangaroo (ber-ran-ge-roo), which is not-so fortunately directly opposite my workplace. The main road that seperates my company & Barangaroo is closed for the whole week 24 Hrs. Makes it harder for me to catch a cab home, and I'll have to walk through the streets with many Jesus-lovers. Doin' cheers you'll hear during the World Cup...

Doin' cheers you'll hear during the World Cup... I'm not out to offend anyone, absolutely nothing against the religion; in fact I'm at awe at the reglion's wide spread & popularity. But the magnitude of taxpayers' expense for this event to be broadcast in a 'good light' makes me alil' edgy. Pilgrims, they called themselves, are here with no need to spend on transport/accomodation/food. C'mon, of course they would say Sydney Australia is the best~ Who gives you free lodging, food & transport even closes roads & removing trees in the midst of the park for more at-ease walk-through-&-not-around theory. BUT @ the expense of pple whom can't walk through their front door because the road is closed for the Pope-mobile to drive through, that is just alittle waaaay over the top...
So, where's the media when you want them to report on news like this? Power, next to money, are all very important elements in this world.
This is the no. of pple that attended the event. 150,000 inside the Randwick Racecourse, and 100,000 outside and around Sydney. This is just massive! I was just thinking.. 1st gather-point: across the wharf where Barangaroo is, you'll see Star City Casino; 2nd gather point: they are @ a Racecourse. Just seemed alil' weird to me.
Anyway, with them closing roads to Randwick means we can't go for our weekly grocery shopping and can't borrow videos for the weekend. Hungry Denise would become Angry Denise.
That's the end of my ranting... May peace be with you (and also with you)...
Btw, I heard the Vatican has almost 60 billion in resources to spend. With special purple marble floors and gold pillars and columns, that you can never get it anymore. Heard that some priests are excited to travel overseas to 'experience' the world. This case for Aussie, what you do here? Booze & Barbie, of course.
