>Before I start, I have some important advice for anyone wishing to perhaps join me in Australia. Firstly when flying DON’T travel economy, and secondly break the journey with a couple of days in Hong Kong or Dubai! Needless to say the flight between Heathrow and Hong Kong was long (over 11 hours) with an hour and a half stop in Hong Kong to refuel, stretch those legs and breathe fresh air before jumping back on the plane for another 8 hours 45mins flight to Sydney. In all, can’t really fault the service offered by Vigrin. A good choice of movies to watch (on demand) although the infilght system did crash at least twice leaving us without entertainment for an hour or so (greatful it was the entertainment that crashed and not the software flying the aircraft :p)

Arrived in Sydney @ 7:45am Thursday to sunshine, clear skies and a cool 24C!! I’ve already taken in the Opera House (from the outside), harbour bridge and aqcuainted myself with the shopping centre (I thought Paris was good, but Sydney is now my preferred shopping destination!). I have applied for two jobs but I don’t hold out much hope given I did not pay enough attention when editing my CV so any recruiter will be left baffled and thinking I’m an eejit (please, no comments to confirm this fact, ignorance, afterall, is bliss….as is denial :p)

That’s all for now. Not much, I know, but I have only been here three days.
