All that glitters

The Gold Coast in Queensland has a well-deserved reputation for being one of Australia's brightest vacation spots. Guo Shuhan reports.

I discovered for myself why the Gold Coast, in Australia's Queensland, is so well named. On the final day of my visit Down Under, I struggled out of my large soft bed at 5 am and took a five-minute walk down the main road to the beach. The tranquility at dawn was broken by the murmur of surf and rustle of leaves.

It was not a perfect day to enjoy the sunrise, as only a thin line of sky at the horizon emerged from the thick layers of clouds.

But when a streak of pink dawn broke over the horizon - expanding gradually and becoming brighter - I looked back and saw a golden color gilding the glass buildings along the coast.

The Gold Coast - with its brilliant buildings, sea and sand, all reflecting the sun's radiance - is true to its name and is quintessential Queensland, where Australia shines brightest.

Skyrim: The Gameranx Review

So I've spent most of this week playing Skyrim.

And I'm going to tell you all about it, but first I must warn you, gentle reader, that much of my recount pertains to the explorations of an exquisitely detailed virtual world. I'll probably go on at some length about the flora and rock formations, as though I've been out hiking. There is an observation which is likely to be made upon hearing such descriptions, which of course is "Well if you like nature so much, why not just put down the controller and go the hell outside?".

Regardless of whether this question is asked in earnest or in trollery, the answer is the same: Because there is not a goddamned forest, mountain or valley on earth where I can set out for a romp only to find that by the end of it I've killed a flying, fire-breathing reptile the size of a mead hall, absorbed its sweet dragony soul, and taken its bones for a trophy.
