Aussie Update

Hi all,

Hope all of you are enjoying the warmer weather and are looking forward to another festival-filled Japanese summer.

To make this blog easier to read I’m going to try and keep it short and to the point.

Things I like:

- The big blue sky. - Lots of stars at night.

- Fresh fruit and vegetables. - Al fresco cafes and restaurants.

- My family and friends. - The sounds of birds singing.

- Australian Rules Football. - St. Kilda beach.

- Cheap golf.

Things I don’t like:

- Expensive apartments. - Slow public transport.

- Driving a car everywhere. - Stupid TV shows.

- Junk food in every direction. - Australian convenience stores.

- Slow customer service.

As for work, Chi-chan has lined up a job as a waitress in a restaurant in the city. She’s working 5 days a week with a good group of staff and so far, is enjoying meeting some new people too. I’ve had a couple of interviews and should be able to make an announcement sometime in the near future s so stay tuned.

The two of us are meeting some friends this weekend and staying at their place too. They also have an 8 person spa bath so it should be fun having a couple of drinks and relaxing. Earlier in the day, I’ll be going to the football to watch my beloved team, the Western Bulldogs. The both of us are also going to see the Australia vs New Zealand soccer game on Monday night. This game should be exciting and hopefully the Aussies can have a big win before they leave for the World Cup.

Take care,

Pete and Chi-chan
