One month in Kyabram…

March 9, 2007

Part of the ‘going to Australia’-experience is working in Australia. You can’t expect to hav enough money to travel for a whole year without any worries. So at this time, I have about 25 euros on my Belgian account and I’m already in debt on my Australian account. (i’d like to see how they’re going to get their money when I’m leaving the country…). ‘Though it gives a strange sence of freedom when you travel without any money, not knowing if you’re going to be able to buy enough food for the coming week, unsure if you’ll find a place to stay,… I don’t want to spend 8 months in the middle of nowhere without money, there’s still a lot of Australia to discover…
Formula 1 Grand Prix MelbourneThe next few days I’m going to the casino in Melbourne, once the biggest casino in the world, now still the biggest one in the southern hemisphere.
There’s also the Formula 1 Grand Prix next weekend. We’re going with a lot of people from the orchard, we’ve bought the cheapest tickets available.
And last but not least, tonight there’s the world famous night rodeo in Kyabram, don’t know what to expect from an Australian rodeo, but you will all soon find out.

So picking pears, but you already knew that… I’ll still be here for the next four weeks to get enough money, things are getting hrd because all the pears are almost picked and we don’t know how long we have to wait untill we can start picking apples. A little doubt the next few weeks and probably a whole lot of doing even less than we’re doing right now.

So what has happened up untill know… nothing actually… besides turning into an expert when it comes to pears and the fact that I haven’t eaten that many pears since the first 26 years before I left Belgium. Especially the Nashipear, sweet, you seriously have to try them.
