Just dropped down on someone...

Cred to Lauren for amazing decoration!

Back to the aussie life style! (Just broke my last pair of sunnies, hence the very bright colour of these once given to me by Beau).

Btw, how inspiring isn't this:

One week in Australia and I have already been on one costume party. Where will this end!?

Mo and Cheryl

The grave yard (pretty well decorated party)

Molly and Leigh as dead babies

So, that was halloween 2011. Scared myself a little bit... 
Now, time to rush up a mountain!

I think a little piece of heaven just fell down on earth. Jalna yoghurt now exists in Mango! 
I should ask them to pay me for advertising them so well...althogh...noone that reads this blog can access Jalna without coming to visit me in Aus! Hmm. Do I maybe have a deal with a number of airlines there as well?

Second was nice but the housemates wern't really fun. Thord was a disaster. 
I guess I will just keep looking.

Tomw is halloween. Prepare for the best costume...as always =)

There is one extremely certain way to know that you are back in Australia. You know these mornings when you wake up and sort of wonder where you are? Well. If you here the noise of the kookaburra lauging in the distance and have two other cuties sitting on the windowsill, then you know.

It's time for a lab meeting. Let's see what this PhD will be about...

Had a day on the beach with Rish and Mick which was really nice. Swimming around in the crazy waves fighting with jelly fish. Sand everywhere. Just as it used to be! Mick told me to be out in the sun till I stoped reflecting it. I think I will turn dark pretty fast.

Living with Beau. Looking for short terms every single day. Was visiting a house today which was ok but not good enough. Will have another look at a house in the city tomw evening. My supervisor at work is busy with honours students finishing up their projects this week so I dont have to be in until Thursday. I know she always wants me to take my time etc (very australian) but I'd rather just start!

Anyway, Im keeping myself busy drinking coffee with people. Which is very good for my jetlag. Although it will soon be very quiet around since the semester is about to end and most people are leaving. Not good. The best news however is that my very dear friend Sophia is returning to Australia after an exchange in Canada sooner than expected. Cannot wait!

So, I moved. Since the last time I wrote. Australia just became the first place I hever returned to. It's a strange feeling. The flight took about 33 hrs including stops in Frakfurt, Abu Dhabi and Singapore. And hey, what is all this thing going on about how good Etihad is? I couldn't agree less. Fried sandwishes for lunch AND dinner? And nothing else? Nope! People should try Thai, really. Or even turkish airlines!

Anyway, the trip was long but the immigration seemed to go very smooth. To start with. Then I got stoped by this smily lady asking me what I was about to do in Australia for so long. She took me aside and scanned my passport and every single stamp in it for about 15 minutes under a microscope. Then she smiled even bigger and handed it back to me. Finally. Obstacle number one. Went out to the baggage section and got trapped again. This time, because of Snuff!! (The cute little dog on the picture abouve that my friend gave me before I went off). Snuff was filled with wheat and got stoped. I got very sad, ofcourse! And asked the lady if I wasnt allowed to bring Snuff. She was however very nice and told me she could cut him open and empty him so I could bring him anyways. That is just what me and my mum was joking about before I left. And them it happened! Poor snuff!

So. My friend Beau collected me from the airport with a sign saying "Marlene, we have missed you". So cute. Then we went off to Karsten'splace for a...BAM BAM BAM; JALNA breakie! Amazing. God I missed this yoghurt soo much! It was like heaven eating it again.

Went off on a drive around Brisbane. A lot of memories poped up everywhere. But. To the weird thing. I felt nothing. I don't know whats going on. Maybe it's the jet lag that is really confusing me. I should be overwhelmed to be here after all the work that I put it. I've already met Beau, Karsten, Mo and Cheryl and it was awesome to see them all. But I just keep questioning the whole situation. Maybe some things are just meant to happen once. Im very confused. A nights sleep and a beach session tomw with Rish and Mick might be the medicine and get me on better thoughts. We shall see!

Like I said. On the bus. I don't mind busrides. I even find them quite relaxing and fun sometimes. After living in Africa I can do nothing forever. Just sitting on my seat and be happy with that, starring out of the window. But this particular day, I have two things that annoys me just too much to care about. First. The guy next to me is an alcoholic druggo who smells horrible. I have wrapped my scarf around my head and dragged my beanie down as far as possible to avoid to inhale his smoky appearance. However, every time the bus stops. He tops it up with a new smoke and then some more General lös snus. Then the bus is wagging him to sleep almost immideately and he falls over me and my poor laptop. Drewling. Yum!
Second. Im terribly thirsty and we haven't made a stop any place near a shop for long enough to run out and get something to drink. 2.5 hrs to go. The only thing I can think of is water.
