The breakthrough!
Filed Under Daily
The past few months were very special to me. Indeed I learned a lot about myself through two very unexpected events. There was the dangerous climb on the top of this mountain and the jump from a 14 meter-high tree. From the first event, I learned something rather funny, people who were with me, could not climb all the way to the top because they didn’t see what was beyond the sharp edge. They did not know that it was extremely easy once you reach a grip that was like few centimeters away. I did it and I realized how easy it was. I told them but they did not trust me. The jump was something only few people would do, everything was visible and it was dangerous. From these two events, I know that in order to succeed, you need to take certain risk. Calculated risks, not blind ones!
So I am doing all this to see what is beyond. I want to try something new and see how the world is.

Finally a room!
Filed Under Daily
YEaaaaaaaaaa!
It took me 3 days and tons of emails to get one. Best of all! It is near the national olympic swimming pool! The very first stone was laid down on my new foundation. I would like to move in today or at worse tomorrow morning. I will relax today and enjoy the city as a real tourist. The weather is still bad so I am not sure I will take the nikon200 out to shoot some photos.

House hunting
Filed Under Daily
I spent about 150 euros in taxi in order to check different places. So far it is a waste of my money. I bought a mobile and I like my new toy. A nice Nokia that has everything. It makes things easier of course. I am feeling so lost and so tired. What is good about all this adventure is that I have no time crying on myself or feeling nostalgic about what I left behind in Australia. The survival instinct kicked in and I am extremely alert and very busy. I do not think anyone really understands me and I surely do not want to explain all this until I see the end of the tunnel. Finally I am doing something for myself. Something worth it! I have not felt this for a long time.
It is like being alive again.

30 hours with 3 hours delay. I finally arrived at my destination. I went straight to the gate at my last connection without a check-in and almost got into troubles. I had to lie and played some charming/begging shit. It worked and I got through. I was tired as hell but I kept on going and could check 2 places before I went to bed. I woke up at 4 am! The guest house is nice and well located. I really like it.

In a hurry!
Filed Under Daily
I thought I was organised. Thursday morning was terrible! After my swim I had to rush and practically threw away 90% of my belongings. I only wanted to keep the Hard Drives. I wanted to say goodbye to Nils but he was sleeping all day long since yesterday. I did not want to disturb him. I do not like official goodbye anyway. People always say stupid things. I was too busy anyway to find things to say.

Why do all good things!

Come to an end!
I do realize every little thing or every habit I had here in Australia will come to an end. I do not regret anything, I am looking forward to the changes and I am very excited about it. One cannot prevent a little bit of nostalgia. I think that is my main problem, I don’t have anything to hold me somewhere, I do not have this desire to fight for something. I can live anywhere in the world.

4 possible choices!
Filed Under Daily
After sending out about 100 replies to ads, I’ve had 4 suitable and serious answers concerning a shared apartment. I have already booked 4 days in a hotel which will allow me to check for a decent room. I am hesitating between renting a car or just take public transportation to go house hunting. I think a car should be fine since I will pay a taxi from the Airport to the hotel.
My new flatmate’s name is most likely Robert…we shall see
