In the office.
And on the beach

Australia, Brisbane
From Jul, 4th you can see the best rugby league players from New South Wales-the Blues, and Queensland-the Maroons facing each other in three games every year. After the third game's visit to Melbourne, in 2006, in 2007 it's back to the regular pattern of alternating between Brisbane Suncorp Stadium and Sydney's Telstra Stadium. After three years of New South Wales being dominant at The State of Origin competition, Queensland won two victories in 2006. Be there if you can, everything it's possible!

Europe, Denmark
Known as the world's hardest fitness run, Danish North Sea Beach Marathon starts every year on July 1st. It is one of the only few running events in the world where you only run on sand. The course runs from Vejers Beach in Ribe County, across the county border at Nymindegab to Hvide Sande Beach in Ringkjobing County. It is very hard for body especially when you finish in Hvide Sande where the sand feels like deep snow. The time limit is 7 hours. Good fitness, you must admit!

Jul 2007
New Zealand, Auckland
New Zealand goes film crazy during this annual series of film festivals. Festival started in Auckland's Civic Theatre. The Civic is famous example of the atmospheric theatre style, in which lights and design where used to convey an impression of being seated in an outdoor auditorium at night, creating the illusion of an open sky complete with twinkling stars. The main auditorium was designed in a similar style, imitating a Moorish garden with turrets, minarets, spires and tiled roofs as well as several famous Abyssinian panther statues. The country has been thrown into the cinematic spotlight after its own starring role as the spectacular backdrop to Peter Jackson's Tolkien trilogy The Lord of the Rings, and the festival goes from strength to strength.
