so... I'm back in Aus and the adventure continues!


well, i arrived back at sydney, ummm, a week and a bit ago. Mum, Dad, Jordan and Mel met me at the airport... was good to see the family there!!! I had some rellies and a few other friends over for a bbq that mum kindly organised for me. It was great to see everyone who came. thanks for making the effort! it means a lot to me. (just realised i didn't take any photos that day... very unlike me!) so sorry, i can't put them up!

and the sun was out... couldn't have asked for a better day.
the next day, i had to wash and pack as on the tuesday i was on a plane to adelaide to see Michaelmichael my friend michael (ooohhhh) and FINALLY meet his lovely girlfriend. they have only been going out for 7 years. so it was about time. that was a great time too. and i got to meet up with a friend from uni... sucks she lives so far away, but that's life... flying may be bad for the environment, but it helps me stay in touch with people.

and now... well, now i am in Pakenham, Melbourne. It is great here. I decided to come back to Aus because my friend Kristal is getting married... then she asked me to be in the bridal party, so i am really excited to be back here to support her in this time. I have met her fiance justin and think he is great for kristal. i am staying at their house at the moment, just chilling and helping out for the wedding where possible... it's so nice to see kristal again after over 3 years. and so i'm back in aus, finding my way back to sydney eventually and just seeing what life throws my way from there.. it's pretty exciting at the moment. although it kinda hit me that i can do anything... so that's cool, but also a bit scary... where do i start looking... haha, i'll figure it out!

tomorrow i'm going into the centre to catch up with another friend i met in chile, danjamin. (kristal, mmmfm and i all met in chile)... good times, good times. and then well, it's kitchen teas and other fun things over the weekend. i can't believe the wedding is getting so close... WHOA.

anyways, that's all from me for the moment... i havne't proofread this, so hopefully it makes some sense...

love you all

konichiwa


me with a mo

ok, so i don't know how to spell it.

but i am in tokyo for 3/4 days inbetween London and Sydney. I arrived at 9:00am and had no accommodation booked and no money... and then my cash card and credit card wouldn't work in the machine... luckily i had some aussie dollars tucked away in my wallet for when i got home... and the tourist office at the airport booked me a bed in a hostel in Asakusa Tokyo. It looks nice enough and has free internet.

I am sooo tired and worn out, and have a cold verging on flu... so i think an afternoon nap and a brief walk of this area are on the cards for this afternoon. i don't want to be sick when i get back to aus...

ummm... i have now left a fantastic house with all lovely housemates in london and am sad for that, but extremely happy to see what life throws my way now...

Ciara from church gave me a most wonderful farewell present, a video of most of the dearest people to me at church... i watched it at the airport and i think they had to close Heathrow T5 for the floods of tears... haha.

well, i'm going to put a few photos up that i keep promising and never delivering... but sorrym, my brain isn't working too well.
and actually, my phone doesn't work here... so if you want to reach me, e-mail is the best.

cheers,
love youse all
