Good afternoon folks, somewhat inspired from a friend of mine I have decided to create a blog to charter the events of my visit to Australia. Early ambitions for myself include learning to surf, checking if the toilet really does flush backwards, and box a kangaroo. Hopefully this will be a useful way of ensuring I am indeed still alive should I disappear into the outback with an Aboriginal clan.
I think it's sensible for all that I get a small disclaimer out the way early doors. This blog will very likely be read by my parents, and other members of the Reynolds herd. For all our dignities sake it's probably best I don't include ALL grisly details of nights out in Australia. Unless of course it ends in hilarity. Rest assured, I will make every effort to beat my personal best (for reference see 'Magaluf 07') but I may need to inform some of you in a more discreet fashion.
Keeping this kosher will be probably be good in more ways than one. It should make it a lot more difficult for the Australian police/border control/upset girl(s) to extract the information they're looking for. Everybody's a winner!
One thing I am concerned about over in the land of Oz is the price of everyday items, like beer, wine and spirits. I'm told a crate of beer can cost as much as $45! I am not looking forward to handing over that money. I'm more used to my time at university, where an expensive night out was classified as anything other than buying the £3 bottle of onion cider for your pre-game.
Another thing I'll need to get sorted early doors is a job. Hopefully this blog can allow everyone at home to read about any humorous line of work I may find myself in.
But that's pretty much it at the moment, just a case of getting everything sorted and hoping I get on the right plane. The next installment will most likely be once I'm actually in Australia. Hopefully this place is as good as it looks. With sun, sea, and 4 litres of low-quality wine for $10, it's a promising start.
