after the trip in byron bay, i was getting better but still a bit sick. well, anyway, we headed to brisbane for 2 days n took a rest over there coz our flight to alice springs set off from here.

 

alice springs is a really small town, consisting of a few streets. we stayed in a hostel called melanka. the kitchen over there was really shit and the worst was like it's in open area n at that moment it's pretty cold over there. it's cheap though. 15 dollars per nite for a 3 bed dorm. it's really a good deal. then, u can see heaps of aboriganls living in alice springs. well, i have no idea about the aborigals' culture but sometime i just found them a bit scary coz they were always drunk n just didn't look like very nice so we just tried to keep a way from them, just for in case.

anyway, staying there for 2 nites, we joined a tour to uluru, kings canyon n kata jita. the tour was ok but we had to cook ourself inpite of the fact that the leaflet stated 'all meals are included'. then we had to sleep in open space as well n the tem over there was around 4 to 5 degrees. it's freezing at nite but i was still ok.

 

first day was in kings canyon. u can see lots of creeks there. for some, i found it amazing coz i could see how the nature worked in our planet. before, i could never imagine that. it's just like the god has given us a lot of natural beauties, unbelievable!!!! second day we went to uluru. uluru was not as beautiful as i had thought, but still stunning enough. well, everyone said the aborignals dont like us to climb up uluru coz it is very sacred to them. i did it anyway coz i don't think the aborignals own the uluru coz it's a gift from the nature and i think actually everyone owns it. the aborignals think uluru is very important because of their own culture. then how should i sacrisfy my culture to please them. maybe someone said i didn't repect them but as i said before they dont own it.

 

well, i have to stop here coz i have other business to deal with right now.

althouth i finally fininshed the shitty job in the meat factory and started to travel, i unfortunately got sick!!!!?????? GOD, R U KIDDING ME???

well, anyway, i will keep going. after the work, i have been byron bay. the beach is so beautiful. i stayed in my friend's home. it's really a lovely home, very cosy. his mom is so nice. she took care of me very muck, giving me any helps she can. well, i didn't enjoy very much touch because of sick. that's really a shame, u know. i missed quite a lot of good times. u know how rare to stay in nice people's home n i ruined the good time!!!!!!! too bad.

after staying there for 5 days, we moved to brisbane where we are now. and then, tomorrow, we will go to alice springs, the center of the world. i have been looking forward to this trip for long. i hope the rock is not gonna let me down. my condition? i am getting better now. no fever, but still running rose and a bit coughing. i heard that only 5 degree in nite in alice springs. hopefully i can stand for it.

ok, talk to u guys latter, if i am still alive. GOD BLESS ME~~~

hey, to all: once again, i may not see chinese everywhere in aus, so PLEASE leave your msg by english, OK??? cheers!!!

by the way, i am now in gatton, just arrived. tomorrow i m going to pick tomatoes. sounds like everything's fine. but the caravan park i m staying is quite quiet this moment, i am quite worried about the availability of the works. anyway, let me see what happens next.

 

I NEED MONEY AR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GOD BLESS ME~~!!!!!


having stayed in brisbane for 4 days, i finally got a job in a small named Gatton, where is two hours drive from brisbane, for fruit picking. i heard that it is not the harvest seasome now tough, so, probably i cannot get enough work in Gatton. yet, just go for it. it is anyway better than waitting. i really need money now, no matter for travelling or for something else. i may keep doing the farm work for 2 or 3 months, trying to save up 3000 dollars. hope i can make it.
