AUSTRALIA!!!!!!! finally its happened to me...

Flew into Sydney on the 15th of May!
Stayed in wake up hostel for 3 nights- walked through Sydney for hours and hours and hours, through Surreey Hills, Central, Newtown, Chinatown, the Rocks, Opera house, just EVERYTHING!!! Drank a lot of coffee- they do that in Sydney and just sucked in the atmosphere! thsi included two nights out in some great gay bars- met some lovely people, dyed my hair red, bought some great retro sunglasses and...well just WAS in Sydney!
On the 19th flew to Brisbane - short flight early in the morning, and a quick train ride to bunk hostel!!! first things first: indian VISA!!! had to get done (do not get me started, but lets just say, a lot of hassle!! yeah lets keep it at that). after that a quick package to be sent home ( too much stuff, too little space, too many memories to throw those things away). After that I used the day to wonder through Brisbane for endless hours, they passed by real quick though, as it truly is a very pleasant city!! I decided to make my way the next day already though, because I was not in Australia to be in cities. So Byron Bay was to be the next stop!! Oh little did I know, that it would be the ONLY stop, THE stop, possible the LOVE of my life :D

Took a 3 hour bus ride to Byron Bay ont he 20th of May and resided there until the 4th of June! I arrived and before I even spoke to anybody I knew that this place was special and would really work well for me- and it certainly did!! Laiston, a tall, very handsome, long blond-haired, scruffy looking, bare footed, awesomely dressed guy from texas approached me as soon as I got off the bus and simply asked: where were you planning on staying? That was all that had to be said- I had had no plan, only having heard of the 'ARTS FACTORY" I was going to look it up once there- but with my luck, Laiston worked at the Arts Factory and so before I knew it I was whizzed away in the arts factory bus to my new home! Laiston and I go ton real good very well and so it was not long ( in fact about 3 minutes into the 6 minutes busride) that he asked where I was plannign on staing, the dorms or the campsite?! I was very very keen on camping but did not have a tent BUT once again, fate was there to guide me and Laiston offered to share his tent! Done and done!! I could, and will go on about how amazing it was, how I fell in love, how I walked on the beach( which was 5 minutes away) every day at sunrise and then again at sunset, how I walked around bare foot for 2 weeks straight, how I loved livign ina tent, how the small open kitchen became my favourite spot, how i met THE best people in he wolrd: Nick ( my actual twin), Luise, Linda ( two crazy crazy german awesome ladies), Robbie ( the one I now dream of :)- with the voice of a sexy angel and the ability to play guitarre like a...well rockstar!), Ema ( great scottish-irish girl...plus we kind of have the same pants, so we are officially very bonded to eachother), Matt ( I kind of just think of him as Gandalf- he constantly had a long walkign stick, a cape and long curly hair...come on a litle bti like a wizard dont you think?), Filipo ( the cutest italian EVER), Javier ( the sweetest spaniard ever), Patrick ( the coolest surfer dude from Luxenburg I ever knew and probably will know- after all there arent too many Luxenburgers, let alone those who surf), Johnie ( god I love saying his name - a lovely chilled out dude from Virginia), Chris ( the guy who did my dread - yes its true I now officialy have a dread), ferez ( the nosiest but lovely german) and Mauro ( the italian whom I will never forget..partly because he is just soooo cute and also because he pretty much cooked or offered to cook em dinner every night..bless!!)
And that is it ladies and gentleman- the 'Jungle hut crew!'
Why Jungle hut? Because there was a wooden hut, with open sides, wooden benches and tables, shit hanging off everywhere and it was called the 'Jungle hut'- here we resided many many many hours- jammed int he evenings, or during the day, ate - pretty much 24/7 - created some great sayings, had some unforgettable laughs and generaly just fell in love with each other and Byron Bay! What did we do all day??

Did some crazy trips: liek to nimbin ( those of you who know it must now be nodding in happy agreement), for those who don't- its this little town and basically its just knwo for its weed! Yep, it is just a little village where you go and smoke pot all day...yep, its great!! haha...

Otherwise we had a bonfire on the beach, slept on the beach, some nights we simply did not sleep at all and just talked, drank "goon" ( dirt cheap boxed wine), jammed for hours, and ( dont tell anybody) smoked a lot of weed!! Dont judne- go there yourself and then tell me that you didnt....
I also started making a lot of jewellery so in Byron bay I took a lot of time collecting beads, feathers, shells and stones and created a dozen or more earrings- I gave the most of them to the girlies who made my life so beautiful during those days there but somethign was definately awoken and I am grateful for that!!!
Otherwise we ate ALOT of chocolate ( for those experinced weed smokers- you knwo what I am talkign about?? well imagine this: they called it stoner surprise at the arts factory cafe- vanilla ice cream, then a hot chocolate and walnut brownie on top of that, then another scoop of ice cream, broken up biscuit and then caramel sauce on top, sprinkled with coco powdre - now let that drive you crazy as you think about it- and now think about the ridiculous satisfaction this calorific bombshell can create in a stoned person's life :P haha....)
We went to the buddha bar for live music 4 times a week, that was beautiful, otherwise I worked 4x a week , cleaning the fridges and kitchen of the hostel for accomodation, so I cleaned 3 hours , 4 days a week and this payed for my ccomodation, so those 15$ I would have had to pay for camping there- good deal!!

But I have to stop talkign about that now because it is making me miss it too much - after all I am no longer there!!
I departed on the 4th, made my way back to Brisbane, picked up my, finally completed indian visa ( after having rebooked ALL my flights...who cares that I am already short on money right- lets splash out on last minute flights- oh well, if you cant plan well, or stick toy our plans that it, you gotta pay for it right?), had a final stroll through Brisbane and then went to bed early to prepare for the big travellign day ahead!

on the 5th of June i flew to Cairns early in the morning, then to Darwin- short layover, and then to Singapore!!! Yep, I am now in Singapore!!

Oh hello Asia!! :P
