... of August, so i had to pay an extra $190 to change my flight. Ah i wont make that mistake again.
Finally the school holidays ended and work resumed as normal, Sean went to the mountains to snowboard for the first week so i worked alone for the week, then Sean came back with a twisted knee and was therefore out again for most of the next week.
I stayed one night in Jindabyne which is a nice little town, the hostel was about 300m from the ...

... above the Corniche with its unbelievable views. We all went for a drive along the coast to the small port towns of Cassis and (less touristed) La Ciatot. A highlight was the extraordinarily rugged coastline, and especially the somewhat scary drive along the Route des Crêtes (Road of Crests, and they’re not joking – it’s right on the coastline yet reaches 399 metres in ...

... minus their rank and/or awards because they want to show the equality of sacrifice. And each wall had hundred of silk poppies stuck into it which made for a very pretty effect. They also have a tomb of the unknown soldier in a room with huge mosaics and stained glass windows all around. It was very beautiful and moving. From the door of the room with the unknown soldier, you can see straight out the ...

... Leute in das Wohnheim einziehen, w**de ich wohl noch für ein paar Tage einen Ausflug machen. Entwed** nach Adelaide, wo sich im Moment eine Freundin aus Freiburg aufhält, od** nach Sydney, das g**ade mal 300km weit weg liegt (was für australische V**hältnisse ein Katzen- od** eh** ein Kängurusprung ist) und sehr gut p** Bus zu **reichen ist. Wenn es wied** etwas Neues gibt lasse ich von mir hören. Da hi** so viel Neues passi**t, wird das ab** nicht allzu lange dau**n. Che**s, Sven

... that, during a private conversation with the prime minster, President Bush didn't know what G20 (the group consisting of the world's 20 biggest rich and emerging economies) stood for. Of course, Mr. Bush was not happy with this spill and made no secret of it during the most recent meeting with the Australian Prime Minister (during the G20 meeting in Washington, by the way). While this was by no means a big diplomatic blunder, the former leader of the Right-wing ...

... tog os lige til vores hotel, Parkview i St.Kilda. Ogsaa her fik vi vort hotelværelse med det samme. Hotellet og værelsefaciliteterne var helt i top.

Og paa tagetagen var der spabad, sauna og fitnesscenter gratis til raadighed for gæsterne. Der var ligeledes adgang til vaskemaskiner og tørretumbler. Der var tilmed et lille businesscenter ...

... a dodgy start though and despite arriving at a late hour in Canberra we actually did get to see a lot. Canberra reminded me of Washingon in lots of way's in that there was lots of wide open spaces and long boulevards and obviously the government buildings and other locations of national interest. I really liked it maybe becasue I didn't have too high expectations after the general slagging it ...

... than here!! We arrived into Canberra late on Friday afternoon and never actually realised to begin with we had arrived! We had kinda heard that Cranberra was as dull as watching paint dry, but even we were surprised at just how dull it is!! Canberra is like a tarted-up version of Portrush. Arriving in Australia's capital is very much like travelling into one of Ireland's '**** Towns'! You know something's amiss when the man who's ...

... to buy it from the bar was 30 dollas, but because we wanted 3 and they only had one we got studnet ones for 20 dollas!! So basically we saw Andy C for under a tenner!! It was a wicked night, Jess's first drum and bass event and she loved it and was ravin it up at the front with everyone. Yay. Feelin bit rough today but thats due to a dodgy breakfast. He played loads ...

... of ketchup, I realized something was wrong. They call what we call tomato sauce, Napoli sauce.) Grog= alcohol Hotel= pub Lollies= candies Maccas= Mc Donald's (something I will still not associate myself with) Uni= university, school (Many things are abbreviated here... it is very confusing) Hey= eh! (Used normally at the end of a sentence like our eh.) No worries= no problem How you goin'? = How are you? That's just not cricket= That's NOT O.K. (or to me) That's just not kosher!
