... Most of the things we did I had done before (and therefore improved my expert-status). I took this opportunity to visit the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh that Joel and I went to but turned at the entrance because we were afraid we would pay to see yet another temple. Kieu and I went to the Royal Palace, determined to go in. We turned at the entrance when it was a sign saying that the Royal Palace was closed and we only could see some other ...

... coming. Since I had already signed up I decided to go anyway just for the experience. I met lots of teachers teaching all over the place, attended some information sessions and had an interview for a job in Portugal and one in Dusseldorf (neither of which I was actually qualified for and therefor had any chance of getting).

Saturday night was a social event, drinks for an hour beween 6.30 and 7.30. Just a chance for people to chat informally. I ...

... I had my HUGE bag with me ready to go straight from the pub to the airport and had sruggled on public transport the whole way to school. I couldn't fit through the beep beep things and kept getting stuck all over the place... not so fun. After lunch at the pub and severa ciders I headed fro Harthrow. I fell asleep several times on the tube jolting awake several times in a panic not quite sure where I was or what desination I was aiming for. At 9pm I ...

... for a job interview. Went in to Karlskrona one day to show Dave the town and I needed to go shopping for work clothes in preparation for getting a job in London. Went up to my dad's one day as well, went walking in the forest looking for mushrooms which we didn't find as it was too late and the deer had already eaten them all! Wednesday morning we caught the train down to Copenhagen to catch our flight to London.

... eating a whole lot of yabbies and drinking a whole lot of alcohol. The whole week I was really quite preoccupied with the fact that I was going to Greece and meeting Dave so I don't really have anything more to say! I left on a train Tuesday afternoon and went and stayed the night with Linn and Johan in Malmo before taking the train over the bridge to Copenhagen the next day.

... and starts walking and then running.. it was the cutest and most hilarious thing ever and I just had to tell you!! Back to Sverige (Sweden) to get back to Karlskrona from Dalarna involved a 2 hour train ride to Arlanda airport, Stockholm and then a 45 minute flight. My uncle Bosse, married to my mum's younger sister Jacqui picked me up from the airport in a small town called Ronneby. It was Jacqui's birthday so we were going in to town for a ...

... Lämnade sedan staden och tog oss vidare till Kalmar. Fint väder mellan störtskurarna och promenad längs stadsparken med utsikt över renässansslottet och det nya svartkubiska konstmuséet. Besåg även farfar Hilldoffs barndomshem i Gamla stan. Middag på Calmar hamnkrog, smaklig trerätters middag men sommarvikarieservice... Dagens drink: Champagne

... vid Kyrkö Mosse strax utanför Ryd. En annorlunda upplevelse som kan ses antingen som en bilskrot med allmän nedskräpning och rostande bilvrak eller som ett minnesmärke för vår tids konsumtionssamhälle nu assimilerat av skogen. Vi valde nog det sistnämnda, fascinerades över de ärgade, mossgröna bilplåtarna, de av ormbunkar snart överväxta gamla chassin och de grästäckta motorspillrorna. P ...

I have now used my final ticket which was to Heathrow and bought another for four hours later to Copenhagen. I left Jo in London with her sister. I now find myself back in the small town of Karlskrona where I was born and spent the first five years of my life. Here I am surrounded by family, good food and beautiful secenery. Despite having been here many times before, at least 6 times since moving to Australia I find my impressions change as I get ...

Hey Hey Kids, So we finally got out of Poland! Took us much longer than expected, but loved every minute of it! We met up with Kasia and Sean in Warsaw. Had a sweet BBQ with some of Sean's school-chums, and even met with a fellow ex-Klohn employee! Weird coincidence. Jackie was in Warsaw visiting Sean. Turns out she pretty much had my desk at Klohn before I came. Those two crazy animals are off touring Croatia, Serbia and India now. Good luck! North Poland is beautifully ...
