heya Just because I am supposed to write an assignment, doesn´t mean I can´t go out and get ice cream. One needs a break when attempting to manage the skill of academic writing in ones second language. Just because winter is here and I have to wear a beanie indoors to keep warm, doesn´t mean I can´t go out and get an ice cream. It just means that these ice creams are too good! The "Cookies and Cream"-flavour is my favourite of them all. If not &quo...

oy all Gelenelg is good for a nice pub experience! Most definitely. We went out last night to the nearest pub we could find. It´s cold walking around and since one cannot wear winter gear when going out here (the way the chicks dresses. ouch!) one walks the shortest distance possible. Which happens to be across the park. Caroline thought btw that we´d see snakes in the park. So we stomped our feet to keep her calm. I´m thinking the snakes wouldn´t be able to...

Hi all it´s been a while-but, hey settling in can be quite the straining task! We´ve been to Ikea. Did I mention the rushing through the store to pick up 2 beds, 2 matresses and a couch about 15 minutes before closing time??? Ikea closes at 7pm in Australia. hm.

Yes-I´ve driven on the left h...

So we´re 6 people staying in the room at this hostel. When 3 of them leaves at 0530 I am left trying to get back to sleep since I didn´t get to bed untill 4 hours before. 3 people with luggage to get them through the next 6 months are rather noisy at 0530. (My new flat mate and I did some planning and went on the Ikea web site untill very late... :) When all I can think of is how it´s gonna be moving in to the new place, where are we buying beds, how much can ...

Hi all! I´m still loving the fact that I´m back. All seems the same-well, except for prices on things. Adelaide is still rather chilling. It´s wearing-all-warm-clothes-I-brought-kinda-weather. Which is great anyway-must settle in and organise stuff. No time to go to the beach. SO-basically: we´ve spent the last week or so looking for a grand place to live. And what a place we´ve found! It´s got great ocean views. AND it´s in the heart of this great little...
