Finally... home...Oz !!!! hahahahah!
It is hardest place to write about !!!!I don't really know why! It may be because I consider Oz my home country! ahahah! As everybody know my dream was to be an Aussie myself... but unfortunately my stork ( Karina's dictionary - stork = bird that brings us to this world) was so hopeless that it couldn't even read a map and it delivered me in the wrong place! I still can't understand how it happened! Of course I had to fire the stork after this deadly mistake!
The goal of my trip to Oz wasn't tourism... it was to visit my friends and feel a bit aussie myself... so I cannot really write a tourit guide about Oz...
So I am going to write a list of the best.... best things ( or worst ) in Oz!
As you can imagine, the list needs to start with... and go following my favourite subjects !!!hahahah! That will be fun!
1. the hottest guy ( need to be aussies, of course.... it couldn't be different!). It was my diving instructor, Oh God! He was so gorgeous!!! He was almost as hot as Nathan ( Karina dictionary: Nathan = the hottest , most gorgeous guy I have seen in my whole life. note: best personality isn't included in this cathegory. Well we can never get everything in the same package ... can we?!)And I was so luck that my diving buddy got sick and couldn't dive anymore... so the instructor had to be my new buddy - hard job !!! hahahah! He was so gorgeous that I think I missed most of the beautiful fishes on my diving... no need of more comments!
2. My second favourite subject ( after number 1 ... of course!) Rugby. I can't believe I am leaving Oz without watching the Wallabies playing! I am pretty sad about it!!!! I couldn't even afford an Oficial Wallabies Rugby Tshirt ( you know... traveller budget!)... and the worst thing is that NZ is my next stop... of course I cannot watch the enemy ( All Blacks) playing too! Hahhah! I saw a guy on the streets wearing the best Rugby Tshirt I have seen ( i asked him where he bought... but I couldn't find it myself). It said... I support Wallabies and all the teams play All Blacks! hahahh! well, I think nowadays I would change the All Blacks for English, as I will never forgive them for the last WorldCup...
3. Friends - It was so good to see my friends after so long travelling solo.... Lisa, Narelle,etc and especially Craig... London will never be the same without guys - it won't be so fun!!! I already miss you heaps! I feel sorry I couldn't see everybody... missed many people, but Oz is so big... so for the ones I couldn't catch up with ... I will be waiting for you all in UK!
4. Snakebite - on that issue Oz is far behind! ( I suppose it is because there are only english working in pubs over here!) Guys you need to get some lessons at Walkabout - because the snakebites here is shit!
5. Food - after putting on 6Kg ... ( joking - oh I am not so sure if it is a joke! I wish it was !!!) hahah!I can really have a say about this topic! Oz is a great place to eat.... especially sushi ( my favourite food ever!). there are sushi everywhere and they sell it in big rools ( size matters!) you can just grab one or 2 or 3 or 4 for lunch! Fantastic!!!! I am sure the sushis aren't to blame for my extra body weight... of course the many rockroads ( best chocolate ever - with mashmallows...so yammy!!) contributed a lot with it!
6. Highlight - that I will need to put in 2 ... 6.1 and 6.2
6.1 highlight 1 - Of course the diving course . Well, I still cannot decide if it was because of the diving or because the instructor... but anyway it was a highlight!
6.2 highlight 2 - Believe or not it was work... I loved working at Frank's and Julie's farm... packing grapes! They were the best bosses ever, I even adopted them as my aussie family ( hahahah! now I think I can really consider myself an aussies as I have a family over here - and they even have the same italian background than me! David, Julie and Frank eill miss you heaps! See you at Christmas in Oz... or in UK?!!!)
7. Favourite city - I still can't get it right. I can't decide between Cairns and Melbourne ! Love both!!!! But definitely Queensland is my description of paradise ! I loved it! The only wrong thing with it was too many english, germans and foreigners over there !!! See even not paradise is perfect!
8. Now I need to confess the worst " lowlight" - at least it was funny ( not for me !!!!) . I hate spiders, I am very scared of them... and there were 100000000 redbacks and other monsters living on the grapes I had to clean. All the time I got a grape to clean ( 2000000 per day)... they were there... looking at me and saying.... I will eat you alive !!!! Of course, as you can imagine, my panic and scandal was huge !!! So I used to run away, scream, yell heaps! It was horrible! But I can't understand why, other people thought it was funny ( probably they thought I was yelling of happiness for seeing a deadly spider so close!) and start giving all the grapes with spider to me to clean!!!! I should have charged double for making people laugh!!!!
9. Lowlight number 2... a land full of aussies... everywhere... that was my perfect dream! But the only unexpected thing was that I ended up hanguing out with too many foreigners ( Jamie had warned me before... I didn't believe him!!! how naive!)...I cannot believe!...After being here a while I do think that there are more aussies over in Uk than here, back home!
(most of aussies here have that back home "old people" style of life....how boring! for sure the aussies in London are much more fun!!!! ahahah!)
So guys, that was my Oz experience !!!! I still haven't decided how I rate Oz!!!! I still love Aussies but I do miss Europe...Oz is just too far away!
