paradise regained?

The simple luxuries in life are what amuse me now... sleeping 11hours, waking up in the same place each morning and not living out of a suitcase. Shear bliss! My sister's house is nestled among the foot hills of Hobart, complete with 2 goats, 2 horses, 2 cats a brother-in-law, a sister, and a little one on the way.

It's an idyllic lifestyle filled with projects like making up a cd shelf and woodbox with Gordon, feeding goats and animals, gardening, and of course playing computer games like dragon age and starcraft2. Of course life is not quite that simple there's tax returns to be done, cars to be serviced and/or sold, shares to move, addresses to change, letters to write, plans to make, things to book, and then there's the fight with apathy... can't that wait till tomorrow?!

I also have to mention the weather.. I always say Tassie is not that cold... but it's snowing or raining and the cold always gets in... even the sunny 15 degrees don't compare to the 35+ in the middle-east, europe, or asia.



Paradise Lost, it's in my nature. Time to move on :) Current plan has just slotted back (+2.5 weeks) to the 8th of October to allow me to be an uncle first.

HongKong, last stop

Hongkong is a shoppers city, and the food is good - a nice place to end this journey. One of the reasons is that Queen Victoria II brought some civilisation to the masses in the ways of flushing toilets, toilet paper you can put down the loo, and not letting people spit and deficate on the street.

Where’s my Knock offs!?! Where’s my fake DVD’s ?! Well OK i did managed to buy myself a phone with all the bells and whistles (dual sim, Wi-Fi, touch screen, etc) for a song, but i was expecting more.

Once again it’s time to say goodbye to our group though we largly did farewells in Yingchan it's time to leave and say the last godbye. Farewell china and my new friends it's been a blast!
