Toeroe!!! Welcome to Perth

Mist, ich habe kein “oe” hier. :))

Hi there, I am sorry for the late blog entry, but to my excuse: I didn’t have a computer to use (I didn’t bring mine) and I was quite busy with falling head over onto the land down under.

Unbelievable, but I am really here, in PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA

and of course, as I said, my first meal was s-u-s-h-i, which we actually ate on a park bench outside of the Galleria (shopping mall) as a quick dinner. Together with some wheat-free soy sauce, called Tamari, for the missy, which the lady proudly holds in her hand.

You may wonder about the medium quality photos, well, I must say they are taken with my new mobile phone’s camera! Yay! On my first day Nathan went to the Galleria in Morley with me to get me a mobile phone…it is the same that he has and probably the best deal from all prepay phones. Yes, they actually call it prepay here, and not prepaid. Anyway, this is my new communication (toy) thingy:

Cool, huh? Back to Nokia (from my Samsung I had before). The phone does all kinds of modern things and the best, it has a photo camera (only 2MP, but better than nothing), so I could take a lot of photos in my first days, which I will show you in the next days.

I am sitting on an old iMac right now. Nathan found it placed as garbage on the side of the road, but it works fine…it is just very slow…256 RAM and a 400MHz G3 processor. Opening a page takes looong, and I should not try to edit photos on it or do anything else than browsing the net.

I can’t work on this computer and will probably borough a laptop from Uni (if possible) until I have my own laptop.

Sorry that I don’t have more news for you now…the photo-how-cola-arrived-down-under-story follows soon.

I can only say that I’m fine and Perth is wonderful as I had it in my memories, only the fact that everything is very damn expensive now bothers us and doesn’t make life easy. Last time (4 years ago) Nathan paid for his 3 bedroom house’s rent about AU $ 240/week and our house here has only one bedroom and one bathroom more and the rent is 640/week. :eek

Everything seems to be very expensive…it doesn’t matter if it is chocolate *smile* or food in general or rent or home appliances…sigh. More details about this and my first days in Perth when I have a better computer to work with. (Actually I wrote this entry here yesterday for about 3 hours and then the (internet) network connection died and the computer froze and I could not do anything other than shut it down. Grrr…)
