Great Ocean Road - Day Four: The Sacred and the Whore
This is the typical postcard view of the Twelve Apostels, which are twelve (didn´t count them) huge rocks close to the coast. It is a nice view, that´s for sure, but there is also this ugly drawback.
Great Ocean Road - Day Five: The Wonderland
On the last day of our trip we went to the Grampion national park to make a very beautiful walk to the Wonderland.
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"
Alles hat seine Grenzen: Airport Hong Kong
just a few words about my flight to Melbourne, Australia:
railway Munich - Frankfurt: 4 1/2 hours
flight Frankfurt - Hong Kong: 11 hours (that's where I am now)
trespassing stay in Hong Kong: 15 hours
flight Hong Kong - Melbourne: 10 hours (in about 2 hours, the local time is ca 8 pm)
We were not in Hong Kong today because we didn't sleep for more than 24 hours now (but we will come back here in about half a year for one week). Sky: cloudy and grey, but 30 degrees and a horrible humidity (is this "Luftfeuchtigkeit"? I can't look this up right now). Waiting, waiting, waiting (not funny). English-Chinese keyboards which I am not used to: I write this on a free internet access in the airport of Hong Kong, that's why I can't post any pictures right now. But actually everything just runs fine. The next article will come from Melbourne. Bye.
2500 Pixels of Cliché
It´s nearly two years now that nugob.org saw the light of day. This is article number 100 - which means that I am rather lazy in weblogging (you are so right). However, at the moment it seems that I have a screen overdose and I just prefer to go outside. There is no digital recipe to compare with this analogue antidepressant: ingridients: a campfire, a handful of nice people, barbecue, beer and guitars (happened so yesterday evening).Next to nugob.org which becomes 100 I become 25 years next Saturday. I did not really plan anything so far but I´m sure we will celebrate into the birthday on Friday. On Saturday there will be a beer-soccer match between the second and the fourth semester (this time also with a girl´s team). So whoever wants to visit me on May 24 or 25, set off!
Furthermore my days at the Villa are numbered. I will go to a semester abroad to the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT), Creative Media, in Melbourne, Australia. I will leave on July 16 until January 16 2003. I am very much looking forward to this. The university is a partner institute of the FH Vorarlberg, so I saw some impressing students works. The school really looks very promising. The semester ends on November 22, so I nearly have two month left to travel around there. I bought a digital ixus for daily snapshots, so I am sure you will find a more regular logging then. I just hope that my official letter of acceptance or enrolement will arrive soon from RMIT which I need for my student visum. I am still on tenterhooks because of this. Well, that´s the latest news so far. Sorry for the kangaroo, but I did not find a better cliché for Australia.
Hvis Din Uvenn Forarger Deg, Gi Trompeter Til Hans Barn.
This is Norwegian and means: If your enemy annoys you give trumpets to his children. This is very practically thought. Like I wrote before we actually went to Norway from 3rd to 17th of august. Here are my pictures of Norway.
