As The Days Count Down…

December 31, 2013January 3, 2014 / Jane / 3 Comments

As the days count down to the end of 2013, it is time for a bit of idle reflection and some forward thinking to the year ahead. I have learnt a lot this year - new languages, of others countries and cultures, a lot more about Australia, the difference in accent between Australians and New … Continue reading As The Days Count Down…

Burning Clothes and Much Mulching

October 24, 2013November 8, 2013 / Jane / Leave a comment

The sun's rays have been shining upon WA this week :-). Falling a little bit in love with the flowers here, I can't imagine a dry, not so green WA in summer... Temperatures finally warming, after being inside for so many days at the roadhouse, I am very much enjoying being outside all day with … Continue reading Burning Clothes and Much Mulching

Sharing a dorm with labourers who awake at 5 and a girl that does not go to bed til 4, I have not been sleeping the best this week (the reason i am probably missing the free breakfast!) It very hot in the 10 bed dorm, with the tiny fans the hostel has on offer, … Continue reading Dorm Room Jenga, Sandwich Birdmen, Nancy Wake & Moomba Music

Linguistically challenged

January 22, 2013June 23, 2013 / Jane / 3 Comments

Amazed by how effective knowing 'good' and 'not good' in Korean is for various situations, and picking the language up quickly enough to use in conversations effectively, my German housemates have also refreshed all the German I know. Not wanting the Belgian to feel left out, I have been trying to use French also. I … Continue reading Linguistically challenged
