...what feels like a holiday resort-Frankfurt on the C?te d'Azur. The subtropical climate lures office workers to sun themselves in the early evening on the golden chain of Pacific beaches; million-dollar yachts chase rust-stained dinghies between the cream-and-green ferries on the harbor; ships like concrete office blocks glide under the Harbour Bridge to the container wharves, past tourists beaming over the gunwales of replica 18th century sailing vessels. The twin architectural highlights of Bridge and Opera House flank a modern CBD that seems to rebuild itself every few years, while an ocean of agreeable...

...fair price, but I don't think so. I still have my lunchbox, and I can't imagine letting it go for the price of two movie tickets. I will, however, consider an exchange. And if you've got a "Muppet Movie" lunchbox that's in good shape and harbor a penchant for swine in spacesuits, you may just be in luck...
