Took a couple of days off my very busy life (worked for 4days straight and was sooo tired!) to go check Adelaide out, people said there is not much going on but I had a great time!
The bus ride over there was crazy... 10hours, not too bad... but we went through literally the middle of nowhere! Towns that look like they're still in the '50s, with one café and old people having Sat breakfast in!
Night life is amazing, went out the first night (with people I met 4minutes earlier!) and came back at 3 resisting the temptation of a falafel on the way back - not to mention that I got lost, had to get a taxi after walking 40mins... just to discover I was 500m away from the hostel!
Went around the city a bit (nice Migration Museum!) and then spent the Monday on the beach in palindromic Glenelg, had the biggest ice-cream with marshmellows and loved every single moment of it!!
I know I should be job hunting and all, especially after moaning about it for so long... but I am in Australia (which is the other side of the world, right??) and I guess I am still traveling... so... I went a bit mad and went on a tour to the Great Ocean Road today, amazing.
Some places looked like the Cliffs of Moher, Co. Clare, Ireland... but with 10degrees more and a fit surfers as well! Wow!
And, on the way there, we stopped at a rainforest to have a little walk and in an eucaliptus forest... to see some furry friends - koalas! They are really sleepy, slow and a bit hard to spot but... so cute!
And here we are, in Melbourne.
It's a bit overwhelming altogether, thinking that I have no job (yet!), no friends (maybe I'll have some later when I hit the hostel bar with wine for 3dollars!), no house (mind you, I am sharing a room with 3 Irish people... all the way here to live with Irish people! Go figure!) and all.
But tomorrow I'll do a bit of shopping and officially start the job hunt... haven't seen one bit of the city yet, been busy moaning and feeling sorry for myself... need a rocket up me arse! :)
You keep your fingers crossed and I will be fine!
Got in early this morning (it was 630 in Oz time... but 230 in my Bangkok body, ouch! so tired I fell asleep in the park like drunkards!!) and took the whole day to walk around this new city... Seeing the Opera House in Sydney Harbour was soooo cool, can'tbelieve I am actually here!
And seeing the signs around here... I am sure my new Australian life will be fun!
After 4 countries, 3 pairs of flip-flops, 5 currencies, 11 boat journeys, 2 international flights, 2 G&T's (but a ridiculous amount of beer), 19 bus journeys (7 of them overnight), 7 islands, 5 and a half pizzas, 5 days of rain, 18 books, 5 postcards, one guidebook and more than 4 GB of pictures... It's time for me to leave South East Asia and start this Australian challenge.
And, like Calvin Harris says "these are the good times in your life so put on a smile and it will be allright"
