Hello from your intrepid-pre-travel-blogger! ;) Well, the countdown has been mammoth ;) (note to self: counting down does not do good things for trying to not get too 'cited too soon! - but on the home stretch with 3 sleeps to go till Thailand! So while I have been spending the past 13 days (length of 'facebook status update countdown' ;) so far...
I'm back in Sydney, having a couple of days rest before my body is subjected to the cold savages of the northern hemisphere again. It's a bit of a shocker that my Oz trip is over as it only seems like the other day I set off. It's been better than I thought, the whole expectations trick working wonders again as I didn't expect much after NZ. The...
Hello there! Despite Cat writing that there was a little bit of blue sky in the morning a couple of days ago, as soon as we got outside, it was back to the (now familiar) sydney rain. It was a novelty at first, that rain when it's warm seems nice. But when you've come to Australia, from England, in the summer, it does tend to grate. Ah well, we ...
Spring 18th SEP-27TH NOV 2007 We have been here 10 weeks today, so have a job since 24th Oct. and a house with air conditioning since 27th Oct., a phone (which we had to buy & to pay to get connected our selves, what a racket as every renter has to do this so 'Telstra' the phone co. must be laughing) and satellite TV (again had to get that ourse...

We have found a flat to rent after a painful week of searching which is quite small but really lovely. It is on Ryder Street which is just off Crown Street and Oxford Street, and we can both walk to wor...
Happy Valentine's Day!! So as I walked out the door this morning there were two roses attached to our door :) Throughout the day, through our many emails, we found out that all of the girls had gotten roses as well. So we figured it out that our secret admirer was Ryan! He was really sweet and left us all a rose for Valentine's day! How nice is ...

Friday November 10, 2006 For reasons I can't quite grasp, I had put off going to see the fabled Sydney Opera House. Maybe I didn't want to feel like some cookie cutter tourist who makes a beeline for that structure the moment he arrives. Maybe I was just being lazy. I was approaching four days in Sydney now, I had to go. I feared that I had buil...
