The last two days I've experienced the Australian helpfulness. The landlady of the shared house I'm staying at picked me up after I did a major grocery shopping at Coles (the prices are higher than at home but its still okay). Found a cheese slicer in the kitchen, so I got some australian block cheese at Aldi. Kind of reminds me of the Swedish hushålls ost "house hold cheese" (?) :D
When I bought a mountain bike for 50$ from some guy up north from the city center, he threw in two extra tubes, a lock, a map to find my way back and some advice on how to avoid the cops seeing me without a helmet (which is compulsory in australia when riding a bike). Now I got one from the landlady - for free 😊
Today I biked to the University of Queensland where I will be working for 4 months - its a huge campus with great facilities!
