Now, take a cup of coffee. Bite off two opposite corners on each end of the biscuit, dip the one end into the coffee, and suck the coffee from the other end trough the cookie, until it starts to get soft. If you keep sucking to long, it will fall apart. Then just stuff the thing into your mouth and enjoy!! There you go, you’re first Tim-Tam slam, a truly heavenly taste.

For those unfortunates who live not in Australia and therefore, most likely, live in Germany, try timtam-shop.de - just found it on the web and I might as well keep it in mind and make an order when I’m back in Germany again and I feel the urgent need to have a Tim-Tam slam.

There are huge theme parties every two or three weeks on Friday nights, and there even is a Uni Bar (where you can play Pool, participate in Wii-Tournaments, watch movies, drink cheap beer and have cheap food). That actually is a little bit weird, that you can’t buy beer at the supermarket, but you can buy a pitcher of beer at the Uni for 8,60$ (and drink it at the Uni).

Ok, I have to admit, I won’t miss paying 9000$ per semester (what probably is the reason why we don’t have all these nice lounges and things at German Unis, for 500€ per semester), but still, it is really nice to be at a Uni that provides you with everything you need, and even more than that. Actually, more than you could ever imagine.

It has blue waves on it, and a tiny pink flower. If i can ride it decently until the end of the year, I think I might have found my next tattoo, probably right ankle/calf. Blue waves and a pink flower, fits perfectly into the four elements theme – the phoenix was fire, and the waves will be the water-themed one… just have to find a good artist here. If anyone knows a good place to get a tat in Oz, let me know!

Anyway. Funny little thought at the end of this post: At the next carnival or masquerade party, I will dress up with a friend as two bees and we go as beesexuals. Heehee.

The beach and the sea here are more beautiful than they could possibly be at any other place.

The sun has been shining for three days non-stop, 33 degrees, probably around 70-80% humidity. Tons of mozzies (moskitos). I’m dying my hair right now, bright red again, see if that makes any sense with the heat, the sun and the sea.

Internet is still soo expensive, because if you’re not working, you can’t sign a contract for (relatively) cheap internet, so you have to take the way more expensive prepaid one.

That’s pretty much a very short summary of my physical and emotional life in the first 14 days. I’ll try to make some pictures next week, and hopefully find a place where I can upload them without using all my prepaid internet. Please, someone invent flatrates on internet traffic in Australia.

No worries, mates!

But still, no accommodation, no home.

Homeless.

Some other quite peculiar things about Australia: Fruit juice comes in bottles that look exactly like the ones laundry detergent is sold in Germany, and the juice also looks like laundry detergent, same blue, green, orange. Haven’t seen where they put the actual laundry detergent in.

And today I’ve seen how the Australian Post delivers its mail. A tattoed girl on a motorbike with two bags on each side of the bike, driving like hell, the letters almost falling out. But it was pretty cool.

1. Not everything that looks like a blue, shiny stone is really a stone. Sometimes it’s just a dead, glibbery jellyfish.

2. Haven’t seen a snake, spider or shark yet, but lots and lots of ants. Wondering why they didn’t call it Antstralia.

3. Everything is sooo different, especially the fauna/flora. There are flies and pigeons, but they are not flies and not pigeons. Weird!

4. Internet is expensive. Pictures coming soon.
