Hello friends & family

my first week of working as a fundraiser is over and I must say - I am impressed.

I earned 1100 $ in one week, raising a total of 8000 $ and I even smashed the all time record of earned money a day at the place I work (CCIA), with 300$ last friday working 6 1/2 hours. Awesome! I also get 2-3 free drinks there (pepsi,coke, even beer) a day, which saves me a lot of money again.

Noodles, Noodles, Noodles

I am currently trying to save money for later times, so I managed to cut my daily amount of food to about 4$ a day. That means: Toast in the morning (free jam at hostel + I treated myself to peanut butter), and noodles with tomatoe sauce more or less the rest of the day (1 kg = 2$). I occasionally have half a can of tuna with it and I try my best to get cheap fruit at the market.

Now I am working on a nice way to spend christmas, which is not easy being away from home and with Melbourne weather proving to not be very reliable! A short shower in the morning can be followed by sunburn-sun during the day, but mostly its beautiful!

I am having a nice time at the moment and I am sure there is lots more to come!

Wishing you the coldest and snowiest of weathers from sunny Melbourne,

Josh
