In Teufels Küche
About one week ago we - that are Pushp, Tim and me - met to face the most dangerous mission so far: We exorcised the demon out of our fridge! In the beginning it just seemed like a cute hairy pet which greeted us with wet big eyes whenever we opened the fridge but it grew and grew and grew, and judging by it´s smell it was not house-broken. After two weeks of persuading it to move out without any result we had to take the decision to throw it out agains it´s will.
Housewarming Party...
... well, not exactly, actually it was Hiro´s (on the very left) birthday, but it was the first time when it was not freezing at all.
Hong Kong - Airport
Finally I received my students card and got access to the computer rooms at RMIT, so here are the first photographs from our trip to Melbourne. This one I took after about 15 hours by train and plane at the airport in Hong Kong where we had to wait another 15 hours for our flight to Melbourne.
By the way, I updated nugob.org for my semester abroad so I can attach unlimited pictures to each article. There will be more pictures and text whenever an article ends with: "Read the Full Post"
»Preferably Female« ...
... my favourite sentence in a shared accomodation offer. And always in the most promising ones. The picture above I took in Victoria Hotel, our first temporary accomodation. Yesss, we wanted to get out of here. But should it become better?
Déjà Vu
That´s my new Villa now. A nine students shared accomodation. Not all rooms are filled by now, but the semester just started and soon there should arrive some more people. All are quite nice here, so I really already feel at home. The only problem: there is not a heating here either: »Nachts ist es kälter als draußen« has a meaning here indeed.
Melbourne
Just a few first impressions about Melbourne. It's a nice and refreshing young city, i.e. there are a lot of young people on the streets. This is hardly surprising as RMIT alone got about 67000 students and it's only one of three big universities. Nevertheless studying at Creative Media is only in small groups. My department is in the city campus.
Time Out
That´s the »Lounge« which is located quite central in the city. Prices are moderate, maybe that´s the reason why it is a well-visited students location. It´s not a secret hot tip, that´s for sure, but a nice bar/club/restaurant to go to.
Villa, Australien
Having arrived in Melbourne last Thursday after a journey of 4 hours train, 22 hours flight plus about 15 hours waiting at the airport in Hong Kong we finally arrived here.
