On new years eve the rest of our friends started to arrive, we had prebooked a room in a hostal for 11 of us and it was located right in the city center, The 11 friends were all the people we use to hang around with in Perth and we get along great by the time everyone arrived we were all getting ready to go out. It was christmas eve!!!! as you can see the eveing went off with a bang and we partyed till the early hours, bringing in christmas at a local club then down to a famous irish pub ... read more

hey everyone thanx for the messages, and people who havent left one do it now! well ive just started my second week at work! and its all going good. as i said last time the job hunt was on after spending loads of cash on tools, i rang at least 30 people out of the paper and went to one job agency and was finding it harder than i thought to get a job as i needed my own transport and lots more tools. until i got a call back from one company offering me a job two streets down from my hostal! wicked! as most of my friends were traveling upto a hour on busses and trains. its 40 hours a week and is donig renovation just like i did at home. the only diffrence ... read more
hey every one thanks for all the messages and posts sorry i havent been in touch, but its just so hard when your having sooooo much fun! hahahaha. well ive been here for 3 weeks and 2 days now and its still exciting as ever, but ive quickly come to the conclusion that drinking most days and nights and eating kebabs every day (they are so much nicer than english ones) is not good for you. so ive decided to settle down a bit and kurb the drinking, me and a couple of the boys have just been shopping for the week to try and save some money and get some fruit and veg into us. i have been designated cook as well. god help them all! hahaha.also i have managed to stay in this hostal ... read more
