Hello again! Ive had a busy few days recently, as I have been training for my new job in the hostel. It seems really cool, the work is by no means challenging and the people seem pretty nice so I think I will stick with it for a few months to earn some pennies for the rest of my trip. And yes Robin, email me your CV and I will try to get that tea makers job for you!! On another positive note, I have also reclaimed my wallet! It seems that a very shady character h...

Hey guys! Sorry for taking so long to update, Ive had a very busy week! I started off by doing a few days work in a call center, selling mobile phones to existing customers, which was hard going! The work itself was mind numbingly dull, but the rest of the team were really cool, which kind of offset that a bit.

Hey guys! Time for a new update! I have now completed my move away from the beach and into the city.

I was sad to move away from Coogee thoug...

So instead of working I have been chilling at at the beach and exploring Sydney. I have been doing a lot of coastal walking, the scenery here is just quite simply fantastic! The weather has been pretty off though, lots of rain and cl...

I have now been in Sydney for just over 30 hours and it has been some experience. On Sunday, I left the hostel in Hiroshima early, and made my way down to the train station with some people I had met in the common room the night before. Here I caught the Nozomi bullet train back north to Tokyo. This journey flew past, partly due to the speed; we covered the whole distance from Hiroshima to Tokyo in just five hours. The main reason that the journey past in a flash...
