Brisbane flood

The last week was hard to live normaly because in Brisbane was comming the flood.
The first few days were quiet and nobody want to make the protection in his house only the day beforce of flood all people were starting to buy sandbag, water, food, ecc..
My appartament is situation near to the river and the last day I decided to move in a hotel because I was afraid about the flood.  This hotel was very expensinve but I think dosen't matter when you want safe your life and your stuff, the most important is that now I'm alive and nothing happened.

After 2 days of flood the river became normaly the right level but so many people lost his house or in some place are dirty.
South bank was all underwater and the "fake" beach I think for 1 month isn't aviabale. A lot of port were destroyed and the citycat can't to work.

Sydney trip

I went 5 days at Sydney with Silvio and others 3 friends.
I passed a nice new Year in Sydney and I visited the city and some beach.

The travel to go at Sydney it was very long, 11 hours with car and when we started we didn't have booked anything. This made us to drive for 11 hours because all motel, backpacker and other were full.
By the way, we arrived in the camping and mounted the tent, a big tend for 12 pepole but we were only 5 :).

The city was beautiful and very big, in the night was more beautiful with the light of opera and building.

We did the tipical trip,  go to beach, citiy, ecc and then 1 day before to come back we were booked a backpacker. Everything seems to go good but when we arrived at backpacker the manager told me which were full.
We are very luckly :) but don't worry, the next 4 km we found a cambins for 25 a person.

The next day we returned at Bayron Bayand here we met 2 girls from Ticino :) who cooked a good pizza!

Christmas's day

Yes is christmas's day! The family gave me a gift, the underwear but the wrong size :)  but they were kind.
I don't feel which today is Christmas becuase in the street or in the center there aren't a lot of decoration than in Switzerland. I think the snow make a good environment about Christmas's day.

Today I received the best gift! I found the shareroom very beautiful! I have a swimpool, sauna, gym, tv, ps2, big kitchen, big living room, ecc.. and I pay only 130 at week, I'm very happy!
The most important there is near to school and center and maybe the man who rent this room, he can help me to find a job.


Finaly I can cook the food that I like and talk with people who have the same age because in this appartament there are 1 couple from USA, 1 man tahwain and 1 man brazilan.

New family

Sorry, but in the new family I hadn't no internet and I could not add new post in the blog.
Fortunately I found a wireless with my external antenna and now I can use internet :).
Anyway the new family it's not very bad, only one o two things I don't like very much so the homestay is so far from center and the bus or ferry sometime there aren't after 11 PM.
The bathroom is more cleary than the other family but the bedroom is very empty, I haven't a desk, a wardrobe, the floor is not clean.. well I preferred to sleep in the old family but the most important is the family prepares a good food.

In the family there are the parents, two children, one brother-in-law and ( I think ) a son who works.
The son is very frendly, I think a little crazy :)

Now at morning I can do the breakfast with coffe and toast but in the weekend I must to washing-up because the woman told me "I haven't time to washing-up..." Ok... but I spent a lot of money for this family I think they must washing-up...

Anyway the second day I was here I was closed in the room because the key that they gave me doesn't working. I had to call the family and ask to opening my door, I lost the ferry and then I was late at school.. shit day!

It's raining

These days sometimes raining a lot. In Australia it's usualy raining but the teacher told me which in this year is more than the other.
Yesterday Silvio went here at Brisbane but in the afternoon it's come raining and we were can't to take the sunbathing.
Anyway It was beautiful see again my friend :) because everyday I must to speak English and sometimes it's very difficult to explam what do you want say.

Today it's raining again, that sucks! I went out anyway but it wasn't a good idea because I was all wet when come back at home.....
Maybe coming soon I be sick :P

Tomorrow I hope to discover where and WHEN I change my family.. maybe if I will have a family at Christmas's day

Victory party

Yes Party Party Partyyyyyyyyyy!!!!
Thursday and Saturday I went to Victory pub and I enjoyed with my friends and mates, maybe it's better don't describe what's happened. As they say: "One picture say more than 1000 words"

Well, after the party I must to walk at home, around 6 km, it's not bad but I walked about 2 hours.
Saturday: Yes, I went again at Victory and then I met 5 girls from Australia.
I enjoyed with them because in Switzerland if you talk with a girl haven't interesting to you instead here they speak more.

Oh yes after every night I'm going to eat a kebab or piece of pizza :)

Thoughts

Well, when stay at home I remeber when I was arrive in this house. I didn't think I like stay here but sometimes I look the pictures about my Swizerland :) and I feel me a stranger. Anyway I'm happy to do this adventure!

Step by step I'm meeting new friends, most are from Brazil and Turkey.
I think that is an opportiunitiy to compare a different cultures and lifestyles because we are accustomed ( in italian "abituati", I don't know if there is a right word ) to our culutre.

Now I can't stop to descrive my feelings :) It's very sad...
This afternoon I received the Shafston card and the invite to go out tomorrow at vicktory.
Yes I'm happy to go out, I don't like to go alone :P

Mhh.... I don't know what write... Yes I can't write about the amazing awaiting the train that returns to work but It's usualy in this country.
