so, i promised some photos... and they will come... I am just being lazy. I had a 'night in' tonight, which has been lovely. Watched 7 years in tibet with my new housemate kim and had a list of things to do, like update this little fella.. but alas, did not.
although, i did look for some stuff for when my aunty comes... and also booked a ferry from Holyhead to Dublin for the easter weekend... so now i have a car hired, 3 lovely ladies to go travelling with and also a ferry to get us across to Ireland. We plan to go and explore the Northern part.
hopefully one day i'll get off my butt and get some photos up here... sorry that i haven't yet!
but i am going well. handed in my resignation now!! that means i'll be kicked out of the country soon after july. haha. so defo home by november. and maybe even a blog entrance before then.
haha
later!

guten tag aus Berlin
(sorry if the title is not correct... i don't actually know any german, except for montag uhm acht heur. hello, ich heiße waldolf... waldolf bauer, ich bin neu hier etc...[spelling??])
Well, i have now spent 2 days wandering the streets of berlin taking in the sights and enjoying what the city has to show me. I arrived on tuesday evening and walked into the hostel to meet 1 peruvia, 1 italian, 1 american and 4 spanish who were all talking about religion and philosophy until the early hours of the morning... WELCOME TO BERLIN??
wednesday i wandered through the city on a free walking tour and learned a bit about Hitler and also the East/West divide... yesterday I just wandered myself the whole day and explored the East side gallery (part of the wall that was given to artists to paint on) and then back to checkpoint charlie and the museum of terrorism and then gave up and came home after too many hours of wandering. my roommate is a dj and invited me to go to watch him spin, but i had a pretty huge headache... so maybe tonight... as it is my last night here. I am really enjoying this place... definitely one of the highlights of europe.
oh, and yesterday after i had a really cheap and lovely lunch some guy came up to me to ask me if i knew about the situations with the banks... and if i wanted to give a donation to his cause yadda yadda yadda.... and then i said, well, i'm not from here and then he asked to give me a sheet in german... well, not speaking or reading german, i decided to say, I'm not going to read it, save the trees or give it to someone else who can and will read it. then he said, oh, so i care about the trees, but not about the economic welfare of the world and then gave me a huge lecture about how i am selfish and that i will get what i deserve and that i am a cold hearted b#tch... yeah, ummm, thanks dude... that's going to want to make me read up more about your cause...
oh, and then i went to buy some fruit and my camera cord got caught on a sign in the supermarket, and i heard it fall, but i didn't click (and the area was pretty dodgy and had a sort of roma feel about it...) so i kept walking and luckily a man ran after me and gave it back to me... (praise God). then a security guard saw him do that and said he is a roma... you understand... and don't forget that... random... but I am very lucky being in that area 1)that i wasn't pickpocketed and 2) that something that fell out of my pocket was actually given back to me... I think i was being looked after!!
and so, today, hopefully go on another walking tour and go to the riechstag... which means that I should get going... but i have had a great time here and just really enjoy soaking up the atmosphere and thinking about all the past and where berlin has come from and now is...
righty-oh... hope you are all well... I'll be back in london on sunday... and have a list of people a mile long who i would like to phone... so, you might be one of them!! haha... and if not, please don't be offended!!!
love to you all!

oh, thanks tami for having me and schelle stay with you in Oslo, and taking us on a lovely cross-country skiing tour! I will write up about that in my next blog entry and add some lovely photos from berlin and my norway adventure.
=p
and found out that rach is moving into 62MG funtimes... my first room in London. haha... that means I can still use my old (now her new) backyard in summer... bring it on!!!! congrats rach... i hope your times there are as good as mine were!!! oh memories... haha

helloooooo helloooooo, it's been a while
so, mum has been bugging me (hi mum!) to update my blog. my computer seems to crash everytime i try to update it with photos, they don't want to be loaded... so let's see what i end up with this time.
it's a friday night and i am just watching gordon ramsay on the tv... mouth watering. i went to a body combat class at the gym, lots of fun and so am now bumming on the couch thinking about what sort of things i should be doing... the washing is in... my room is almost tidy and i am love love loving my house.
can't wait for tomorrow... it will be my first time to the walkabout since i have lived around the corner from it.. very exciting. and will be making sushi with some friends before i go out... yay!
ok, i have probably said this before, but i am aware i overuse 3 dots, but that is fine, i love them, hopefully you don't have an issue with that... haha.
ummm, my photos go backwards, starting with schelle and my christmas and new years adventures, and then back... i spose you have to just scroll down to see what else is there. it will probably be really badly set out, but please just deal with it.
our lovely chocolate bars... i'd like some plopp please??; the lovely flavoured cider; me and schelle in stockholm for a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
snow angel in Kiruna; our bakery we went past 4 times until it was open (the coffee was good); me with snowflakes on my eyelashes and cheekhairs...
ooooooh, the ice hotel and the ice-bar... our ice-cocktails... very lovely, you can even eat the glass
dogsled rides; skidoo rides; and boat rides?? (well, the view from out boat hostel)
our apartment in kiruna; schelle asleep on the night train (our first view of snow); the crazy art work at the ice-hotel; more awesome art in the ice-hotel; me and schelle on christmas eve on the ferry... MERRY CHRISTMAS! (i sang karaoke that night... first time, and i loved it. so going to a karaoke bar in london!; schelle with her new friends in the dutyfree shop on the boat.
ummm, interesting sign.... we're looking for a...; the awesomely tall housey things in stockholm...; tadaaaaaaa, our little room on out boat... this will make a great christmas eve venue for watching lots of mTV
some arty photos from different places around tallinn in estonia. i really enjoyed tallinn... our first port of call on our trip... really beautiful city. recommend it for a visit!
rach, me and schelle at their birthday celebrations (thanks for letting me borrow the skirt schelle!)
schelle and me drinking celebratory cocktails... yummy... good venue guys; some of the yummy shots; ryan and schelle, 1/2 the happy other end of pennard rd crew
and below, rach, schelle and mandy, 3 very lovely ladies.
the other photos here are my visit to the german christmas markets. i had a ball. me and jana drinking our gluvine; jana with the markets; muenster and it's christmas tree; duesseldorf; me and lots of gingerbread... yummmmmmmmmm
and as promised... some photos of oxford. rach and schelle at the alice sweet shop. and the two lovely ladies in the rabbit room in the eagle and child pub (where great writers used to meet)
the lovely old streets of london and ummmm.... schelle wearing all of her birthday presents, pj pants, belt, bangles...
chris' 'housewarming' and the awesome dancepad!!! suprise! (i think chris schelle and i took about 15 photos with different expressions.... haha, what are we like?!?) and me, helen and mark (sure that's for movember) eating at one of my favourite restaurants abeeno too. (the abeeno original is around the corner, but i still haven't been there)
some photos from poland... a cafe; the watch out for bumpinchers? sign?? oh, watch out for pickpockets... i get it., auswitz, me deciding what to eat from a newspaper in a 'traditional' polish restaurant; schelle and i with out new haircuts; and a lovely teahouse... very quaint.
the loos at auswitz, they could only go 2 times a day... imagine it in the snow...
and the Natural History Museum ice-skating... it's still really cool to go skating outside... this was with my cluster group at church.
here are some of the concerts... the powderfinger ticket; rach, schelle, me and chris at powderfinger; the fray tickets; the roof at my favourite venue, royal albert hall; andy, ryan, me, amit, schelle and chris at crowded house.
i haven't put up photos from the spicegirls concert, but i only went there on wednesday night, so they are still in my camera.
but hopefully this will keep some of you going until i am able to think properly and maybe write a bit more about what i am actually doing instead of just writing explanations of photos...
enjoy!
love you all
