Okay, so I did the surf lessons the next day, and they were so much fun. Me, and my swedish friend, Johanna were amazed at how well we were doing. We stood up plenty a times, and I got my French Canadian friend, Julien to snap pictured of me while doing it. Our lessons lasted 2 and a half hours! The weather turned out to be a tad rainy afterwards, so I decided to cancel the flying plans. My birthday was amazing. I couldn't have asked for a funner day! Matt, my friend from Winnipeg, was giving me digeradoo lessons, when 3 of my british friends surprised me with 2 Tim-Tams, along with 19 tea light candles! It was so nice! I was so sad to leave the next day. It was hard too, because me ... read more

Congratulation Australia with your win in today’s game at the world soccer tournament in Germany Despite you got cheated for a clear penalty kick, when a player from Croatia touch the ball by hand, You fought and lost when your goalkeeper made a big drop, but you came back like the Aussies always do. We don’t want to be a looser. All the best wishes for you all in the next game on Monday, Italy can be tough, but they are not unbeatable, so from an Aussie living in Denmark all the best of luck, it has been the best game to watch, so far. To Croatia, you must find a way to control your temper, you can play a good game, but you can also be a soar looser. ... read more

Greetings from Alice Springs! No springs at all here though. Tis very dry and dusty. Apparently theres an underground river or something but i cant see any sign of it...all looks like bush and desert to me! Alice itself is a small town - not much here apart from people heading to Ayers Rock and back. Its got some good views of the surrounding McDonnell ranges and a cool Desert Park though, where you tramp about the bush with headphones on and some Aboriginal guy tells you all about the flora and fauna in various parts of the desert and how they used to survive out in the bush and what different plants were used for. All very educational...but i still dont think id remember enough of it to survive in the desert! Also interesting to ... read more
