Bunny holidays

What do you do on Bunny holidays in Australia? Going to the beach of course ;) and watching IceAge2! We were six people and a four-wheel-drive driving along the beach of Noosa Heads. Great! For five minutes I could show them how to drive properly, like in Germany. They really check the speed on the beach so I couldn't pump up the speed as I would like to. The six people were Lynn, Rob, Mhairi, Alex, Andrew and me. Alex and Andrew are colleagues from Rob at Leica. We had a good time.IceAge2 was great as well. Sid, my favourite actor, did his part just perfect again.
In general it is great to be back, but it is really cooling down here. Over night 'only' 16 degrees and during the day warm 26 degrees. I still can keep my wooly socks in the office but now I need in the evening and in the morning my beloved jumpers.

I am currently looking for flats. I hope to find something more normal than the two crazy shared flats I had before. My luck is that I can stay at Mhairi's and Rob's place. They are hardcore veggies, but that's ok. :D They compensate this with Rob's interest in football and Mhairi's scottish humour.

Ok, cross the fingers for me that I will be a good student for Lynn's high expectations. I know it won't be easy. But that's the way I have chosen. ;)

Have a good start in the week! Take care!

P.S. Don't blame me for no-pics. We all forgot the camera or the batteries etc.

Back in Oz

Three months Germany are behind me, and three years of Australia are waiting for me. I arrived last Thursday here in Brisbane. The sun is shining, as usual! Am I happy? Yes, I think so, but it is hard to let parents and friends back in Germany. The flight Berlin-Frankfurt-Singapour-Brisbane was surprisingly without any problems. No delay, no toxic air or something like that. So I arrived on time and my boss, Rohan Teasdale, picked me from the airport. I will stay the first days at Mhairi's and Rob's place. I noticed my English knowledge descreased alarming too much. I don't understand any british english word anymore. Why should I actually? I need proper aussie accent now. So, I shouldn't worry about it. ;) NO WORRIES!
I spent the thursday already at the institute. There is a lot of paperwork waiting for me. But then I had a nice shower and slept almost 12 hours. Yesterday I had a really lazy day. I almost feel bad about it. But today I couldn't resist. I need internet so I got up at 6.30am without any problems and went to the office. I know it is Easter and Saturday, but ....

So, I hope to give you some more report the next days and weeks and I think I will find some nice pics again to show you. You take care!
