First German...then english that's how it works from now on! Hei di ho - so langsam arbeite ich mich im Jahr voraus. Falls euch die Emails nerven, koennt ihr euch auch wieder aus der Liste abmelden. Aber ich hoffe mal nicht..... Letzes Semester hatte ich ein Fach, dass sich mit der Organisation von Versammlungen/Meetings befasst hat. Ein Teil der Aufgabe war, eine echte Veranstaltung zu organisieren, die mit der Tourismus Industrie zu tun hatte. Wir haben uns Gastsprecher eingeladen, die ueber die Zukunft des Tourismus gesprochen haben. Wir mussten alles organisieren von Marketing ueber Essen zu den eigentlichen Raeumlichkeiten. Hier sind ein paar Fotos von dem Abend......Der Name war uebrigens CHAT (enlische wort fuer schnacken).... CHAT - Convention of Hospitaliy and Tourism - aren't we creative! One of my subjects last semester was Convention Management and ... read more

The trip has started, or maybe not. We are leaving Erica’s place in Kensington and heading off to Helena’s former host family for what probably will be some work on and repacking of the car.... read more

I MADE IT! After like 22 hours on a plane and an extra 8 of layover times! I love where we are staying it is so nice. We are neighbors to the prime minister! My room mate Linzy is really nice too! Just wanted to say hey, I am at an internet cafe, but starting tomorrow we get the internet for free at the CAPA school. This week is pretty much orientation.

Wow the place is amazing, huge but amazing. My cousin Tom and Jo his wife are gorgeous and I'm staying with them.... taken some great photos... doesn't seem like the opera house is that big, well it is! But just not as big as the harbour bridge! Been wandering around the city which is awesome, so much water everywhere! Heading to meet Adam and when weather picks up gonna go down to bondai beach and to the heads of the harbour! Getting better today so fingers crossed! Still not caught a tan but its cold. Trying to sort out east coast there are some good deals. Have to get a certificate to serve alcohol over here, experience doesn't matter, and they're well into their gambling so need to get a certificate for that too cause there's ... read more

Visited the Rocks Contemporary Art...huh? I just don't get it. I tell ya sometimes I just chat and chat and before I know it the morning is gone! I should really pay more attention to the time. Feeling kinda lazy today. This afternoon I wandered down to the water again but this time to an area called the Rocks and Circular Quay where you can catch the various ferries. The Rocks is home to the Museum of Contemporary Art. Yup, confirmation that me and contemporary/modern art don't mix well. I just don't get it. Basically you can do just about anything and call it art is my impression of contemporary art. But I have a sneaking suspicious that there is more to it than that? Or perhaps not. haha Here are some examples of what was ... read more
