Moving On

In the event of struggling to find an apartment and interesting job, Ed and I have decided it is time to move on. I feel I have made the most of my time here but extending another month would only mean working admin and labour jobs. We wouldn't be travelling or experiencing anything too new. So on 15 May we are heading halfway around the world, stopping on 3 continents. First stop: Japan!



I will get a chance to visit old friends and students and see all my favourite spots.
Next we will head to Cleveland!



It's about time Ed has met the folks. Then we will head to New Hampshire to work at camp.


A quick stop over in Iceland:


And finally the UK to meet Ed's fam. Maybe I will even stop by my old school and flat while I am there.


Lot's of things to be excited about.

I would Root for you!


First of all I would like to mention a big vocabulary difference. In Melbourne Aussie Rules Football is VERY popular. Matches are sold out and everyone has a team they support. Rather than asking someone what team the root for (as root means to have sex with someone) they say "barrack" for them. I guess rooting for Collingwood would be quite a painful event.

Also, the world bogan is similar to "hillbilly" or someone that isn't exactly politically correct. Let's see if we can spot a bogan...



Oh yeah, that'll do!
