Well I finally have something up and running. Not too much on here tonight as I have been quiet sick this weekend and still on the mend.
Seeing I have been here for 2 weeks already tomorrow I will probably just write some random thoughts since being here.
Firstly on that it is soooo big and there is sooo much here. You walk around shops and can be overwhelmed by where to look. E-Mart, Homeplus & Lotte Mart are so big and I will need a few trips to them to see all they have. Australia just doesn't do these things this big. One person I have met didn't understand why I would like to look around if I wasn't going to buy anything and I told her just seeing something that is so much larger than what we have. There are a number of the really big shopping areas I haven't been to yet.
I am amazed at how cold it is yet I am doing so well. I was getting toasted this afternoon/evening at the medical centre with all the blankets and heater they put on me while my drip was on. There is no going cold once you are inside and I seem to rug up fairly well when outside. Just my face and ears tend to get very cold.
I had it in my head that there were no coffee shops however it must have been the coffee is not very good. There are tonnes of cafes everywhere which is fantastic however the coffee is very weak. I was with Bea last weekend and we found someone who had Illy coffee and we were both excited by this only to discover they also made it weak. I have a love for ginger tea though at a cafe 3 doors down and will discover more tea than coffee when I meet up with friends in a cafe. I have also since discovered that ginger tea isn't available everywhere here either.
Don't know how I will go with blogging so bare with me or give me a nudge if you think I haven't written on it for a while.
:o)
Hi Sarah
ReplyDeleteWhy were you on a drip at a medical centre?
All ok?

Ha ha I am so funny.....I put bits in there and don't realise. I had really bad nausea over the weekend and hadn't been able to eat or drink anything at all so they put me on the drip to get some fluids into me and give me something for the nausea. All good now :o)
ReplyDeleteDidn't mean to be alarming.
Hi Dolly
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you on an international blog.....and a great one too.
You naughty, I had to get in touch with your mum to learn about you and what you are doing. Obviously you don't need extra communication......OK ,OK, I'll keep in touch just you send back.
Your blog is great, you speak from the heart. It takes us there. Here, it is much the same....we still have Gillard, bad weather and continual petrol price hikes.We start school holidays last Friday. Natius and I are going to Yamba to fish and stay at a friends place for a few nights.......must remember that fish and house guests smell after 3 days!!!! Easter will be a little quiet this year, everybody is going away (Greg and Ian and their fsmily and us too) as we usually have a family get together. This will be the first missed oportunity in many years.
Your last blog was over 20 days ago.....we deserve an up-date. Stay in touch
Lots of love
Natius and Big Mc
