Cannes Bound

Johannesburg - Amsterdam - Nice
No. of cups of coffee: 1 x "semi-skinny" cappucino
                                   4 x aeroplane-size cups
Estimated amount of calories burned: a gazillion while sprinting through Schipol airport in fear of missing connecting flight
Items lost: 1 x iPod with priceless music memories
Knowledge gained: Don't care about fellow passengers more than yourself, even if they are tanned, rugged-looking Kiwi's. ( I left my iPod in the seat-pocket, even while checking with my co-passenger that he had taken all his belongings.)
Cannes prep: Russell Crowe was born in New Zealand but grew up in Australia, where he currently lives. Describes Robin Hood co-star Cate Blanchett as a "magnificent actress who has complete control over her emotional responses so she can make the smallest gesture a gigantic statement."
