(no subject)
this is my letter for marc my sister's housemate/boyfriend.
dearest siyano,
hello and how are you doing?
i guess i am a lucky girl, huh. had to give up my other job though just so i could go to australia, but then again, it's a good thing so i can focus on my actual real profession. :)
and i did update my profile... i just added this "quote" by jimmy johnson which i just came across the other day.
well. australia actually reminded me a lot of when i went to california to visit you guys.
the weather was good sometimes a little too cold (drops to 15 C on bad days) and it rained too... but when it's 20, man... you can call it a beautiful day.
one of two best things i found in melbourne was the TRAM, their relatively effective transport system from the suburbs to the city... and, the city itself. it was like downtown sacramento, only cooler. hehe. or perhaps i experienced it more than i did in sac, but i don't know. we took the tram (they're a little slow) almost every other day to go to the city. victoria market is like this humongous "tiangge" with all sorts of things, i would not say it's soooo cheap but it's cheaper to buy all sorts of stuff there, from almonds to jackets to kangaroo scrotum HAHA. and... along the little alleys in between streets and buildings there are these little cafes and bistros. my cousin took me to Koko Black and we enjoyed a cuppa hot choco with cinnamon... it was darn sweet.
also went to some outskirts... rode Puffing Billy the old 1900's train which is still operating... went to the beach, the winery... best of all i saw my cousin mikey who is the nicest of all cousins...
all in all... it was really good...
pictures are on their way... i'll post em soon...
well say hi to my sister for me, we missed her and actually we wished she had come down under but hey... you know.
my warm regards, can't wait to see you guys in the very distant future
good luck...
