Hi readers, what's happening? Sorry for not posting anything for a while, but the only thing that has been happening is work. And work. And work.

I did go to Sydney to hang out with Amy during her last days here in Australia. I booked a four star hotel for us on the first night with a view over Darling Harbour, and then took her out to dinner over in Manly Beach, which was pretty nice. It was a king size bed, so I had plenty of space to stretch and sleep comfortably. Oh, and the room was air conditioned which is a real novelty for me, as you could guess.

After leaving Sydney, I didn't really know what to feel, it was as usual, shoved into the back of my mind and just left there to...dwindle.

I had three days off this time around, very long days. First day, I did my standard routine of laundry and then I went to the library to do some stuff on the internet along with playing with Photoshop (oh, bought a Photoshop magazine with a tutorial which I found really interesting, attempts will be posted later).

The next day, I drove out to Mandorah, which is on the other side of the bay of Darwin. Long drive, which was pretty nice. Getting out of Darwin is something I've needed for a while now. I drove over to Berry Springs, a place where you can swim, and some place I've been recommended by several people too. While driving out there, I suffered pretty heavily from Voa's broken exhaust pipe. No joke, I stepped out of the car and it was like coming out of a concert, not cool. Find out while I was driving in that swimming was prohibited due to bacteria having a party in the springs. It was a real let down, especially when I saw the pools. They were beautiful! Sad times.

I then found the local hotel and decided to have some lunch there, after I had just been wandering around on the jetty where the ferry docks (a lot people were fishing there). I had a burger and a beer, and talked to some Ozzies for the first time in a long time. People at work don't count. I only talk to French people, an Irish, an Indian, and a Nepalese. Gets a bit boring. A lot of French too. Bah.

Leave them (they were only talking about things that had happened, past parties, etc, didn't really fit into the converstations), and keep on driving. I try to find a location where there had been a massive party a while ago, and end up driving Voa through the bush to another which, where I had to turn around because she isn't a 4x4. Too bad, it was a great spot. Oh, there were other people there too, so I let them have it to themselves, seeing as how they were the first and all.

I head back into town, almost getting lost in the bush, and decide I need to fix the exhaust pipe. Go and buy some falafels for dinner, and then cook it up. Yummy!

Today (Monday) I got the exhaust pipe fixed, and driving Voa now is a completely different experience. Almost like a dream or like a normal quiet car. It's great now.

Another thing, I don't think I can ever become Australian, I'm just not racist enough.

The racism here is just unbelievable.

Anyway.

I'm going to be leaving Darwin next Sunday for the East Coast. My time in Australia is coming to an end, quickly too. It sucks. I cannot make a permanent life for myself in Sweden I have decided. I'll probably end up going insane if I do.

This is a crappy post, I know. It's just that I'm not really feeling it right now. I think I need to eat something, get my blood sugar back up.

Toodles Poodles.

UPDATE: I hate not having a fridge. It's hard to find single serving portions of food in the super market. There's only tuna, shredded chicken (which doesn't sound very interesting), and...yeah, that's it. And I need to go on a sugar detox. Bad.

I forgot to mention.

I had my first HOT shower a few days ago.

It. Was. AWESOME!!!!

I had only been taking cold showers for the past 6 weeks prior.

That is all. Continue what you were doing.

Oh, here's a good link.
