I am no longer employed. I love it. I'm flying into Ljubljana (all together now: Lube-lee-ana), Slovenia, next Tuesday, March 1st. What happened to Italy? Conveniently, Slovenia is right next-door to Italy, so I'm spending 3 nights in Slovenia, then...

 

Post exam travelling!

So I had the good fortune to visit Switzerland for 5 days in mid-June. The first thing that struck me was - this country is expensive..the hotel room I had in zurich was decent accomodation but way more expensive than it would be in any other city. Wh...

 

OFF, OFF AND AWAY!!!!!

Well...im now officially an adult. I turned the big one-eight on monday...as anticipated it was a bit of a non-event. I opened a few cards mum had stashed in my suitcase and laura gave me a pair of earrings (really nice!!) but other than that it prett...

Europe Jan-Feb 2004

Today we arrived in the beautiful town of St Goar in the Rhine Valley. I loved the wine and we went to a faboulous tasting session where I got to try the special ice wine. Yum. However, it was probably not a good idea to follow the wine tasting...

Shanthi's Excellent (British) Adventure

Comrades, commercialism, castles and crystal were on the agenda this month when Priya, Adnan, Rashida & I hit the gorgeous historical city of Prague, or Praha in Czech. A picture might well tell a story of a thousand words, but pictures of Pragu...

 

Doing the Full Monty with Haggis

We had a lazy morning frolicking in the woods around the Lake District and Aira Force (even got to see a waterfall) before heading further north to Cawfield Quarry to climb part of Hadrian's Wall. I can't believe so much of the wall is still intact. W...

 

Eurotrip. Summer. 2005.

My favourite parts of visiting Whiltshire were the road trips to Stonehenge, Avebury circle, the white horses, haunted pubs and crop circles! England is enchanting. I was excited to visit Stonehenge, it was somewhere that I'd always wanted to vis...

 

British Studies

This evening a little over half the students participated in a murder mystery event which Kendra has been slaving over for weeks. It was a lot of fun, a little long, but amusing nonetheless. My character was an old society lady who liked her gin by the...

 

Two Weeks in London

Caught the plane over from Sydney to Heathrow via Malaysian airlines. On the 13 hour part of the flight Luke and my TVs were the only ones on the whole plane that didn't work. Go Malaysian - you're operating on a shoestring budget. Hit London town on...

Beckenham - no relation

Vaughn partners with another 3D animator and we move to the rather isolated South London (well, not quite London at all) town of Beckenham. It’s quite pretty, with a little church and graveyard. Its claim to fame is that it is the hometown of David Bow...
