HOME SWEET HOME

I don't have to wear a jacket here!I arrived into Brisbane at 1130 or close to where my Dad was holding a 'martha- corinne--nerang' sign! My first stop was Yatala Pies!!YUMMY. mind you i wasn't very hungry after eating thai plane food and 2 hours sleep...
I dropped into Mum's at the Hospital said hello and then went straight for the sand. Now for the past 3 months at least i have been defending this great country and unveiling the truth behind our scary animals....i mean how often do you really see a snake or a shark? I'm walking along with Dad towards the water and the next thing i know I'm screaming (which just for the record i don't do all that often) coz a long eastern coastal snake is at my feet!Now I know that's unlucky....Another thing with being overseas is that there really arn't that many bugs..incomparison to here...Sunday night I'm sitting down at church minding my own bussiness and this MASSIVE 'praying'mantis flys straight on my chest!!UNLUCKY i know!
its beautiful to home with paddle pops and BEACH and sun (been burnt already lost a small bit of the ghost look)and friends and Milo. The place where vegimite is apart of the everyday diet!
So now I gotta get back into the books and study!JOy
Some photos of what's going on

Thailand

Originally I was going to work in some kind of foster house for a week and a half....then i was just going to hang out in Thailand for a week....then the plan was to stay for 3 nights...it changed again to 1 night in bangkok....then i arrived at 630 local time and found out I was coming home that night! (a sigh of relief)
As i said i got in at 630 and ditched my bags and caught a taxi to 'futurama' a shopping mall type thing. I was waiting on the steps of the shops to open and this america guy (Eddie) asked if i spoke english!We got talkin and him and his friend Byran were wasting time before they had to leave and asked me if i knew how or where they could find a temple. The taxi drivers try to rip you off big time so i said maybe just aske for the centre of town. So I ended up joining them and headed into the heart of Bangkok. Saw some people doing their midday prayer out side a macers...interesting. Saw a dude selling chicken with a mask on...and drove head on past these dudes driving scooters!It was crazy! The boys were lovely and we just kinda wondered went shopping, looked for suits for them. Pretty funny guys.
I pretty much got back in a taxi with them back to the airport where a found a temple just across the road!
Here are some photos of the street sellers and the temple and the scooter taxi's!They are crazy on these things.

When in ROME



Best thing about Italy is Gelati no doubt!
The next best thing is the ruins!they're pretty cool and i had the chance to go for a wonder on our last day in Italy amoungst all the cats and old old 'cities'. I even met the lady who feeds the cats, of course no words were exchanged except grazi...but she was pretty cool. She knew what was what!
Italy must be beautiful any time of year Because it was Winter and the grass was green and the water fountains worked!Its great! So no need to worry if you end up there one Winter its still beautiful!
