Viva la Melbourne.

Joerg and me were on a short trip to Melbourne last weekend and used our study week very effectively though. Well, the trip started pretty crazy! On the outward flight the aircraft had to return again, because somehow the door was not properly closed and a signal light went on. Well, shit happens!!!! However, Melbourne is a great multicultural city “the best city in Australia I reckon” and actually quite similar to European cities. Much stuff is going on, lots of culture, museums and sights to see and explore. But it was kinda chilly, 12 degrees and even the leaves come of the trees like they used to back home in autumn! Two days we had a rented car and did the Great Ocean Road and also explored the beautiful Yarra Valley! We were actually so lucky. On the Great Ocean Road there is a rock in the water which looks like an arch. This is how we still saw it on Monday! But wednesday the arch collapsed and only two piers are leftover. How lucky Here is a link to an article about it!

This week is Exam week. Two I’ve already behind me, and they were actually quite easy! Saturday I have my last one and then I am going to travel for a while. First on an island in the north of Australia, then to the amazing Ayers Rock and after that I am off to Malaysia. Cya soon.

Roadtrip to Sydney

Since last Saturday we are all back in Brissi. All australian universities had a midsemesterbreak for the easter holiday. Thus we had a great roadtrip with 10 people and two cars where we drove about 1000km towards the south and back. Sure thing, we did a few stops in between along the coast, in the hinterland and the mountains. The rest of the time we spent in Sydney, the capital of the state New South Wales. It was a fabulous and awesome trip!!! Pics will be coming up soon, no worries! But now I need to concentrate on studies and uni. There’s a lot coming up! Cya

Stradbroke Island

Hey there,
last weekend we made a short one day trip to Stradbroke Island. Its a small island right in the east of Brisbane. Actually the weather forecast predicted wet weather, but all we had was just a 3 minutes shower. That was it, thus do not trust any australian weather forecast anymore!!! Last night we had a huge house party at our place. We had like 30 people coming over trashing the house and had a great night! Unfortunately but as expected it was such a mess this morning. But finally we cleaned everything up properly and decided to have such a party once a month now. This is how we gonna keep our place neat and tidy . Other than that not much happened. Uni keeps me busy these days since there’s the mid-semester break starting this Thursday. Well and…I had a job interview and probably I got a casual job by monday. If so I will let you know more about it! Anyways….catchya later
