The other day I went to a match of Australian Rules Football (AF). For anyone outside of australia, where this game is practically unheard of, let me explain. Some hundred years ago, the game of cricket was imported from england and played everywhere in Australia. How to play that game, is still unknown. What was apparant, though, was that the game was very slow and could took hours or even days; a typical match may take up to four days.

Sorry I had you waiting such a long time. But here it is, the story continues.. For not apparent reason I can think of, but me and horses never seem to get along. Ever since I was a kid they didn’t like me, showing it by nervously kicking around, and I did not like them. Showing it by mainly avoiding them, or for that matter any other animal which head is bigger than mine.
Hi there mate! I left the reader behind last time in Byron Bay. Supposedly the most famous, most relaxing and most beautiful beach and surfing place in the east coast. Within a small local community that uses alternative medication and herbs as a way of life and effectively kept out McDonalds it is a place surely different than the usual commercial beachtowns you’ll find. Surfing and chilling on the beach in the daytime, having a party in the nighttime.
Hi there mate! How are u doing?! Well, one of the first things you’ll learn in Australia is to actually kinda ignore this question. No, they are not really interested in how you are _really _doing. Just trying to be nice. Which is allright, although at first I felt like I had to answer this question. Untill I found out most australian people actually do not even reply to this, so as one step further to become a real ozzie I neglect it too now.
Sydney! Leave your coat at home, put on your shirts and walk around on flip- flops.. aaah!! With temperatures now reaching thirty degrees (celcius) it may be even a little too hot. But it displays a nice contrast with Hong Kong, where the weather was very cloudy and humid all the time. So, what have I been doing to get my tan back? The last days I just did some sightseeing: the opera house, harbour bridge, aquarium, wildlife exhibition and ofcourse just walking around.
