Hello no one

I am going to try to keep a blog during all my travels this year. So i just got this app for my iPad to test it out. I would like to keep a blog while in australia and Asia. I like writing and it would give me something to do to kill time on long flights and train trips

Ok, that is all for this test.

Week 1 (July 7 - July 11)

Image
I have been here 5 days now, byt it seems like longer. It seems like I have been away from home for weeks. I guess that is just hte result of a very long day of travel and the persistent jet lag. I am living in an apartment in South Perth with 2 other girls. One is from Calgary and the other is from the UK. Our place is nice and has a gym, pool (unfortinately unheated) and sauna. I have been quite frustrated at times though getting everything organized. We were menatto have a phone hooked up when we arrive, but it wasnt. What should have been an easy fix has turned into a big hassle to try to get the EY housing team in Sydney to get it hooked up for us. Its a freaking phone, why has it taken nearly a week to get it hooked up (its Sunday night, it still isnt done). Our internet we get with our work computers comes with an aircard, but a lot of sites are blocked (like hotmail, and skype - luckily not facebook), so its been really hard to call home. I have a calling card which is super c...

Australian Terms and Differences

Image
Now that I have been here a few months, I thought I would put together a list of some of the terms and expressions that are very commonly used in Australia, but not at home. There are lots of different slang words that I’ve come across, but the ones listed below are the ones commonly used in everyday conversation. I find myself using some of these expressions more and more. When I do, I feel like a bit of an imposter, but it’s not intentional. When you hear everyone saying the same things all the time, you can’t help but pick it up. Also thought I would share a few “cultural” differences; things that I wouldn’t even think twice about at home, but that are different here. Terms and Expressions 1. “Flick” – As in: to flick an email (instead of “send an email” or “forward an email”). For example: “I’ll flick you the email I got yesterday,” or, “Can you flick me those instructions?” 2. “Mate” – Before I moved here, I thought this was just an Australian stereotype (like the way...

Week 8 (Aug 23 to Aug 30)

Image
I know people say that "all good things must come to an end," but that doesn't mean that i have to be happy about it. As I write this (for the second time because my piece of shit iPad just froze and deleted an hour of typing), I am somewhere over the pacific, about 4 hours away from Vancouver. As this was out last week in Perth, we all made a pact that we would go out every night. That started monday with a "chili mussel challenge". Emma had seen a sign at a pub in Freo during our first week that offered a free pint to anyone who could eat their largest spiciest bowl of mussels. From then on she was determined to do it. Unfortunately it ended last week, so we were forced to create our own challenge. Sarah found a place in Northbridge that served good chili mussels and the challenge was basically to eat as many as you could as spicy as you could. Emma and i did large and hot, but Sarah and our friend Kristen did extra large, extra spicy. I wasn't eve...
