Kanye West arrived in Sydney this morning to promote his short film "Runaway."
West quickly announced his arrival on his Twitter page with: "Just got to Australia... Straing at the Sydney Opera house frommy hotel window... Life is awesome."
The rapper also announced that he is screening "Runaway" tonight, noting that he has two days to turn in his album.
West had previously premiered "Runaway" in London last week as part of his world-wide press tour for the film. Runaway was directed by West himself and written by Hype Williams. A trailer for the film can be found in YouTube. (Watch it here.)
The West whirlwind press-tour is also for his new album My Dark Beautiful Twisted Fantasy which will be out in the market on November 19 (November 22, according to MTV).
His new album is reportedly inspired by Michael Jackson. He previously stated in an interview with United Kingdom's Daily Mail, that: "With the passing of Michael Jackson, I feel a responsibility to bring things to our generation that can inspire and bring real culture to pop culture."
