16/4/05 - After a gruelling 24 hours travelling from Japan to get to Melbourne we arrived on the 11th at 6am. At least everythings in English now, Japan was without doubt the most difficult place we've been to as far as language goes, so it was nice for a while to be able to communicate properly with people.
The Aussies certainly say what they think, even if it does appear they are being rude to us, one lettings agent was a total bitch!! That said most people are really cool and very nice to us.
We have been reunited with Trenna and Kate who we had met in India and Hong Kong respectively, and have all been exploring a bit. Its comedy festival time in Melbourne and we decided that Rich Hall would be good to watch, he was funny although did a bit too much of the 'I'm American and I'm sorry' type of political stuff. Still the Llama lady was very amusing........
We are also having to cope with stress of returning to normal living, looking for a house, a job and having mobile phones again. I can hear all your sympathy from here. Going to hire a car on Sunday and do our own Neighbours tour, cant wait, remember the opening titles where they are playing cricket........we feel a re-enactment coming on. We can also feel a trip to a pub where the cast go twice a week, pictures of Harold Bishop here we come!! Then we'll hit Phillip Island for a spot of Penguin dancing, and general bungleing around.
Thats it as far as whats been going on, back to boring reality for a while, but if anyone fancies a cheap holiday to Oz just drop us an email or send a carrier pidgeon as we should have a house soon.......
