After spending time in Sydney city, we had a weekend in Bondi - Sydney's closest beach. We met Sami's Aussie friend, Belinda, who he met in Switzerland and it's been 6 years since they last met - it was a great reunion. In Bondi we also got the news that I've got a new niece, Heidi, so we we're really chuffed doing our coastal walk from Bondi to...
Had a work meeting in Perth so i flew in 3 days early with a work colleague to have some fun. Needless to say a weekend away is not complete without starting the drinks in Sydney airport... We drank all the way to Perth, 4+ hous of drinking.... I'll leave it to you to consider what state we were in on touchdown... Friday night ate and drank (som...
After almost 3 months of work we're finally moving on tomorrow and it's not a moment too bleeding soon. We've discovered that it don't matter what continent you're on or what country you're in, work is still ****. Sort of glad we've done it, experience wise, but any other wise we wish we hadn't of bothered and just come to Perth for a weeks and ...
As we left Singapore early in the morning we at last began to appreciate it - we saw the calm morning begin with people doing Thia Chi on any available open space. Sadly Jon lost his phone and is convinced that Oli was involved but has no proof! We caught the airbus to Perth with mixed emotions we were leaving the exotic and heading for a more w...

I was on my own again as Gemma had only come down for the day, but I enjoyed looking at the markets, wondering down to the harbor (where I had a delicious jacket potato!), catching the free bus ride, viewing the historical building and just chilling. In fact I probably wouldn't even men...
Already time to move on again, but it has been great spending time here with Erika & Martin & their 2 girls Minalu & Dominiek (I met Erika at Dutch evening classes when we were both living in the Netherlands). Thanks to all those who sent cards & got in touch - I really appreciate it, Christmas is a difficult time to be away from...

With my contract finished at Computershare I decided it was time to sample a bit of the "Western experience" and headed to Perth. Perth is a smaller and easier to get round city than the bright lights of Sydney or Melbourne. Stayed my first night in some castle barracks hostel. Was an interesting stay in there.... first time my dorm bed has been...
