This weekend I did more touristy things with Eveline. On Friday night, we both were lucky enough to have the evening off so we decided to have a night out. But when we both sat down at on the couch and relaxed a bit, we both didn’t want to move. But, considering it’s one our […]

Wagamama
by Bertha on 19. May, 2006 in Australia 2005, Pictures
First night out in about a month. Went to a posh Japanese restuarant near our place called Wagamama It was good food but it sorta reminded me of that cheap Japanese place at home.(for the life of me I can’t remember what it’s called!) not that it was cheap or the decor was the same, […]
75 hr Workweek
by Bertha on 15. May, 2006 in Australia 2005
This was my first (and only!) week that I worked 75 hours! I think I am one of the more experienced food/beverage runners now since they had me on 2 ten hour shifts on top of the regular Friday closing shift at the Subi Hotel for the Mother’s Day weekend. The restaurant was full of […]
Happy Mother’s Day
by Bertha on 14. May, 2006 in Australia 2005
I’m working about 30 hours this weekend for Mother’s Day. I’m sure you’ll have more fun than me mom! Mother’s Day is usually celebrated on the first Sunday in May in Australia, one week of from International Mother’s Day (coincides with Canadian Mother’s Day). For some reason this year they are celebrating it on the […]

by Bertha on 05. May, 2006 in Australia 2005
I’ve been working around 50 hours a week at two jobs. 40hrs at the office job and then every weekend at the Subi. It’s actually kinda fun working at the restaurant. It’s a good change of pace, although that was not my impression after my first Saturday night closing shift. The first Saturday night shift […]

Luxury Living in Subiaco
by Bertha on 28. Apr, 2006 in Australia 2005, Pictures
Moving from the hostel to the apartment was a great chore. I’m either collecting too much in my bags or I’m getting lazy. I think it’s likely a little of both. Well, the solution to moving heavy luggage is this. Here we are now, in yuppyville and have a squizz of the apartment! The front […]
Margaret River

Andrea and I drove to Margaret River to check out the area since we both had a day off. Eveline, unfortunately had to work but she’ll have tons of other opportunities to check out WA in the next month with us. Everything was basically closed in all the towns leading up to Margaret River but […]
