In Australia

So back again! Although "back" could be a bit missleading. I am in fact in Australia. In a small town not far from Sydney. The flight down went rather smooth, but of course it was way too long. The landing in Kuala lumpur was really smooth. Unfortunatly the one in Sydney was not as smooth. So for the first time in my life I used a barfbag. One experience I did want to add to my list of experiences. But one should see things from the good side. It was in Sydney, so it was rather close to the final stop. We got off the plane and the customs man looked funny at me saying "You have no food at all?!" (You have to declare all food when entering australia, and I had handed every last piece of food to jessica as native australians get through easier) and I say "Nope" and then I was through. We met jessica's parents and went home. After something close to 12 hours of sleep I went up today. Rather early actually it was around 9 am. The plan for the day was to go the chinese gardens in central Sydney. I wrote about it earlier, but did not say what the plan was. But now you know. We went into Sydney, ate a quick lunch, and then we went on the monorail and eventually got off at our stop. We found the garden and went in. It was really nice. We spent some 1.5 hours. It was a very nice day. After the garden we walked around the city abit and then went home again. So far everything is just excellent in australia! Even the weather is really nice today it was something like +20 (in Sydney) and the aussies call that "winter"! I have even had the time to unpack my computer which made the trip with me, and as you can see it is connected to the internet! Excellent work for my first day!
