One month today / un mois aujourd’hui!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good morning/afternoon,
In 1 month and 10 hours we will be on the plane, waiting to fly to Mumbai. Only 17 working days left (and counting). We have received our indian visas (who by the way look very good but do not come cheap). On Thursday we go to Manchester to get the chinese visas. It is so hard to concentrate at work! I am lucky enough though because I have a business trip to Paris next week and another one to Cologne the week after with one of my suppliers. On the 26th we fly to France for one week to see my family and say our goodbyes. Last week end we went walking 8 miles with our backpacks with all our stuff in it and boy, does it hurt your lower back!! but at least we will be prepared (a bit). Tonight somebody comes to view our flat (it feels a bit weird and real). Next week end is packing time!!! not looking forward to this at all. We’ll have to decide what to bring with us (bye bye beloved Gucci shoes), what not to bring with us (easy: no fishing rods for Mark). It is all about compromise
Bonjour,
Dans 1 mois et 10 heures nous serons a bord de l’avion qui nous menera a Mumbai. Plus que 17 jours de travail (et on compte). Nous avons recu nos visas indiens (qui sont vraiment beaux mais qui coutent chers). Jeudi nous allons a Manchester chercher nos visas chinois. C’est tellement difficle de se concentrer au boulot! Mais j’ai de la chance car je suis en deplacement a Paris la semaine prochaine puis a Cologne la semaine suivante avec un de mes fournisseurs. Le 26 nous allons en France pendant une semaine pour voir ma famille et dire nos au revoirs. Le week end dernier nous avons fait une marche de 13km avec les sacs et tout l’equipement, et on a toujours mal au bas du dos, mais au moins on sera (un peu) prepares.Ce soir quelqu’un vient voir notre appartement (ca fait bizarre, mais ca nous rappelle aussi que ca va vraiment venir). Le week end prochain on commence a faire les packets!!! je n’y ai pas hate du tout. Mais c’est a faire. On va devoir decider quoi prendre (au revoir mes Gucci bien aimees) et quoi ne pas prendre (facile: pas de cannes a peche pour Mark). C’est vraiment donnant donnant

I can’t believe you’re not letting Mark take his fishing rods!
If you don’t take any clothes/shoes at all there will be plenty of room.
Have Fun !!!

For Brisbane i would not stay in bunk, it is not very sociable. If you like clubbing go to Family, it is awesome. And as for sightseeing, well there is really only Australia Zoo which is fab, and the riverside which is ho hum.
