Things are finally looking up.

I HAVE A JOB! That's right... I'm officially a real person again. I am working at a call center for a company called CityMove (www.citymove.com.au). I just give people quotes for their upcoming moves. Not really exciting, but it pays really well... $20 an hour! Way better than anything I've ever had back home.

A lot has happened since the last time I wrote, so much that I can't even remember. But, I have enjoyed my days laying on the beach, hanging out with friends, and eating good food (by the beach).

I figured I would just update to let you know I am alive

Random, but there is a coffee vending machine next to me, and I just realized the options:

Espresso
Cappucino
Caffe Latte
Mochaccino
Mocha Latte
Hot Chocolate
Chicken Soup

Anything out of place there? Not sure I want chicken soup out of a coffee machine...

Also, just a few random things I have noticed before I go.
1. They don't like to label streets/buildings here. It's really annoying riding the bus and having no one/no sign announce what street they are stopping at. And, buses only stop if you tell them to, even at big stops, and will only pulll over to pick you up if you flag them down. Even if you're standing at the bus stop, they will drive straight past you unless you wave at them.
2. They say "no worries" a lot. It's their lifestyle.
3. Nude beaches: definitely was shocking. Every beach is a nude beach... if you want to go topless, go for it. It's... different!

That's all for now.

Cheers!
