OPRAHHHHH MANIAAAAA

Oprah came to town, to Aussie town. Did you know that? Because it was a HUGE deal around here. To the Aussies, Oprah is practically on par with the gods. There was more excitement about her arrival than if it had been the Queen of England. Aussies love Oprah. Ironically, it's when I'm farthest away from the US that I am closest to Oprah. When I was in Melbourne, we accidentally stumbled upon Oprah and her crew dining in an elegant arcade (aka shopping mall). There were tons of security guards outside the venue warding off crazy fans with cameras. When I returned back to Sydney was the same time that Oprah arrived in Sydney. While at work I was able to see the filming of her show at the Opera House. I couldn't actually see Oprah, but I certainly saw the massive audience sitting on the Opera House steps cheering her on. How fun. It was all anyone could talk about for days. But not Oprah has gone, taking with her the hoopla, hype and madness. Normalcy has returned to Sydney. I just thought you should know in case you had wondered or worried where Oprah had gone. =)
