off to the Outback!!

Sydney, with 2 girls i met on a bus. and then met again by chances on the street.Emma is the girl on the right. (sorry i didnt get the chance to take a pic to the danish porn star..)
Here, we are having a toast, to our unknown Australian future!!

Off we go!!
I found a job, and its right in the outback..its a little place called Baladonia.
Here s a pic taken while crossing the desert on the plane ride from Sydney to Perth, so i guess it will look somehow like this..pretty much, bush more, bush less!
I hope i will be able to let you know how things are going on, its in a road house, there will be plenty of people passing by, tourists, lunatics, serial killers, kangaroos, more lunatics, more kangaroos..and me making all those people a good auld breakfast before getting on the road again..

I had 2 courses meal today, Manuel arrived in Perth yesterday and to honour our italian roots (mine at this stage look like those from a rotten daisy) we had to have a good pasta and tomato dish, and fish with potatoes and broccoli..(not much of an italian dish but its good too)
My poor stomach wasnt able for it at all. I actually heard him saying from down there :"this doesnt taste like noodles..whats going on??" and it has been sick for the last 5 hours.

ill keep ye up to date as soon as i can.

Mardi Gras!!

I arrived in Sydney right after Mardi Gras parade had kicked in..it has to be a sign!

I ve been here almost a week already and this city rocks!
I ve met Emma that left her cushy job to follow whatever her soul was telling her.and she is now travelling around Australia with a backpack and a big smile on her face..
I ve met a homeless painter that sells aboriginal draws at 20$ and if he was called Dali he wouldnt be homeless anymore..
I ve met a canadian girl that brought me to a Mardi Gras party and we had a fantastic time.
I ve met a french surfer that tought me how to stand on a surf board.(and i kicked asses)
I ve met a graphic designer that asked me out on a open air cinema date.(i said yes, by the way)
I ve met a swedish guy that was desperatly looking for a job, i asked him if he had a working Visa and he said he is a porn star and he doesnt need one..!(good point!)

all and all things are going good..and i heard a new NoFx song yesterday..

Queenstown!

Yeah Queenstown is weird, its a little alpine village, with a beautiful lake, surrounded by mountains..but its freezing!
I decided to leave NZ, in few hours ill be heading to Sydney, and given that i decided to do so about 3 hours ago, i still dont know if i m forgetting something..(maybe it would be a good idea to print my bank account statement to prove i m well off and i can afford to stay over for another 2 weeks..)
..ill let you know if i will have to sing "Misunderstood" to the airport police officer while trying to find my Visa print out in my back pack..ahahah

..mmm i think i prefer Lambrusco, to be honest!!
