I am now on a flight to Melbourne (obviously writing this on paper and not on the internet). Its a bit surreal to be going home now after 2.5 months away in foreign countries, having to try and speak a foreign language every day, and then having to switch to a different language every few days. This trip has definately opened my eyes to how different each country can be in terms of culture and history even when they share the same borders. Europe is so steep in...

1 more day!!! After almost 2 years of dreaming/talking about going to Europe... its finally happening. Don't think its completely sunk in yet, but I think it will hit once I say goodbye to friends and family tomorrow and get on the plane. Hopefully I will be able to update this blog regularly, not just so that you can all see what I'm up to, but knowing my shoddy short term memory, I'll probably need it to remember what I've done. Tata for now... back to packin...
