I'm alive and kicking!

Finally i've decided i must write something on this blog of mine. Been in Australia now for about 4 weeks... pretty crazy how time flies. I'm renting with 3 other girls in Armadale in St Kilda which is pretty cool cause we all have our own rooms and the rent is cheap. The first few day after i got here were SO HOT! About 40 degrees! A bit of a change coming from Denmark where it was around 2 degrees before i left. But like Iceland the weather here seems to change dramaticly. My second week here it dropped down to 15-20 degrees. My greek taxi driver that drove me from the airport told me that Melbourne was famous for its unpreditable weather. Something that i should be used to;) Two weeks ago we had quite the storm here... few people even got killed. It was so strange cause the sky was almost red/brown and it looked like there was a sand storm coming. 


St Kilda, the area where i live, is about 20 min from Melbourne city center. I really like that area cause its the hot spot for new upcoming artist and musicians. It full with cool cafes and restaurants from all over the world. Its close to the city but also close to the beach. But i still feel like i've got so much more to explore. I've been here for a month and i still havent really explored the city to its fullest. 


Been invited to a few parties and gatherings here which has been an education for me. Was even invited to my first aussie bbq with about 30 people in a funny little suburbia about an hour away from the city. There i got to know this new upcoming artist that invited me to the opening of his exhibition. He's a painter that does mostly stencil art. At the opening they even had chease and wine. Now thats fancy!


Its been weird not working... but i have to say that i luv it!
