Just set foot on my sixth continent: Australia. Where it's summer and still light at 7:30 pm. In Sidney en route to a conference at ANU. #

#Australia I know I'm down south, but am I East or West? Feels pretty Western, but isn't it far Eastern? Geographical hybridity. #

Serendipity: seeing "Enchanted Island" Met Opera HD Live this morning at Dendy Cinema in Canberra Centre mall next to my hotel. #metopera #

Plus: 10 Mick Jagger portraits by Warhol. #
