After traveling up and down the East Coast for 8 days, I'm finally back home in Sydney! For the next 4 days I will be staying in my program's housing, which is right by Bondi Beach and our high-rise apartment is surrounded by tons of cool pubs and a HUGE mall with tons of good restuarants. For the four days after that, I will be back at the amazing hotel where I spent orientation and get to meet some of the other kids going to Macquarie Uni with me. After that, I finally get to move in to my apartment on campus - no word on my roommates yet! Last night we got back into Sydney around 4pm, I spent a little bit of time online trying to catch up with the world, and then my ... read more

A BIG hello to everyone at home and a BIG apology for the delay in the blog articles but we have been having the time of our lives here in OZ..is that a good enough excuse?? Right it's my job now to fill you all in on our antics during the month of July! I would love to say that this will be short and sweet but i'm afraid not so make yourself comfortable. Here goes..... By July we had found our feet, as in we had settled into our wee house and we had all got some/a bit of work! So the weeks were just flying in now that we were in some kind of routine. July started with us all going to training (yes football training..still can't believe i'm saying that I was at ... read more

So I'm back in Sydney now, on xmas eve. It was a bit weird not having a million tuk tuk drivers at my throat when I left the airport. Also, I kept wanting to say hello and thank you in Thai. I imagine I'd do pretty well picking up another language if I ever get to do a cultural immersion program or something along those lines. The flight here was awesome. I had dinner and a few drinks, and passed out for like 7 hours. When I woke up there was only about an hour left in the flight (of the 9 total). Since my last entry, I haven't done too much. I stayed in Ko Tao for a few more days, then got a boat-bus up to Bangkok. I went with three English girls I ... read more

Ser feliz não é ter uma vida perfeita, ser feliz é reconhecer que vale a pena viver apesar de todos os desafios... Ser feliz é deixar de ser vítima dos problemas e se tornar autor da própria história, ser feilz é uma conquista e não obra do acaso. Olá pessoal!!! Depois de um tempão sem atualizar, aqui estamos! Final de semestre na faculdade, provas, trabalhos, fiquei praticamente em casa, saindo para só para ir ao supermercado, rs... vocês não querem uma foto dessas né? Mas agora sim, férias, verão tá chegando, a cidade tá super cheia, turistas por todos os lados e muitas coisas para a gente conhecer!!! Vamos aproveitar bem estes dias e tirar muitas fotos!

Saudade é como um pouco de fome: só passa quando se come a presença Clarice Lispector Oi pessoal!!! Depois de um tempinho sem atualizar, aqui estamos com algumas fotinhos novas e bem bonitas. Acho que não dá para não tirar um monte de fotos da baía de Sydney, do Opera House, é muito lindo e acho que essas fotos saíram muito boas! A revista americana Condé Naste Traveller, que é uma das revistas mais conceituadas de turismo apontou que Sydney é a melhor cidade do mundo. Segundo eles, não dá para bater o agito de New York (realmente aqui não é muito agitado), mas Sydney é a cidade mais limpa, bonita e amigável do mundo. Muito bom saber disso e estar aqui!!!! Olhem o rank: 1 Sydney 93.50% 2 New York 92.75% 3 Paris 92.45% ... read more

Oi Pessoal! Bom, primeiro queria falar que deu um problema aqui no blog, não no nosso, mas no site-servidor inteiro e com isso perdemos todas a entradas recentes. Uma pena, mas o bom que é que tenho todas as fotos guardadas aqui em cd, então não perdemos as nossas fotos! Nesta semana faz um mês que chegamos aqui na Austrália! Nossa, o tempo tá voando! Acho que estamos bem acostumados com a vida aqui! Temos a nossa rotina, obrigações, estudos.... a única coisa que não me acostumei e nem quero me acostumar é com a SAUDADE.... aí é oooutra história! Durante a semana, com as aulas fica praticamente impossível aproveitar o lado turístico da cidade, mas nos finais de semana aproveitamos para fazer alguma coisinha diferente, como mostram as fotos: 1) Queen Victoria Building: É o ... read more
