from the Magical Kingdom to the Land Down Under...
hey folks. its been, what, a month since i updated? time for another i figure.

its been a hectic month. heck, when is it not? the final three weeks at camp were pretty busy. i had several challenge course groups, most of which were awesome-sauce, though very tiring. Salisbury University and Johns Hopkins University groups wee both two-day courses, low course one day and high course the second. very taxing on both mind and body, but tonnes of fun. those groups are always fun.

i also had a few smaller groups including a group that did the climbing wall in the rain!
and in my off time, i watched a whole bunch of different movies. i love hanging out with my friends, we had some real good times.

i've also been watching Solty Rei and Eureka 7 animes...Solty Rei was kinda predictable, but quite enjoyable, and Eureka 7 is great stuff, though Renton (the protagonist) annoys the heck out of me. i've only got through the first half of Eureka 7, so dont spoil anything for me!

i went to see "The Time Travellers Wife" at the cinema too. it was pretty good, although not a patch on the book. ;p

the last week i was at camp i was doing maintenance work, fixing up cabins, moving tents and doing the dreaded removal and cleaning of the inflatable splashdown equipment, thats been sitting in the river all summer. yeuch. but it was a good week, lots of hard graft, very fulfilling.

after a tearful goodbye (well...not really) i jetted across the country to Los Angeles to visit my brother.

now, i really dont like Los Angeles, but i gotta say, it turned out to be a good week. i spent a lot of my time with my brother and his girlfriend. we went to Disneyland for a half-day, which was fun. ^^ and we walked around Hollywood for a bit. we also did late night mini-golf and late night bowling. good times.

on the last day we went to Santa Monica beach. i actually like Santa Monica, and the beach is very nice. there is also a British themed cafe/bar/store, so we bought some english food too. ^^ yummy.

the rest of my time i spent relaxing and catching up with Shugo Chara Doki online...its getting to climax of the series! i also bought this week a couple of manga novels...FMP vol 3 novel and Eureka 7 vol 1 novel. makes a change to be reading about their adventures rather then watching them on tv, or reading the manga versions. ^^ i also got Pumpkin Scissors vol 5 manga, which is great stuff as always. ^^

so yeah, it was a good week. it was nice to see my brother again, seeing as i dont see him that often during the year. the next time i'll see him will be at christmas!

on sunday i jetted off across the Pacific ocean and i landed at Sydney, Australia this morning. yes, i was in the air so long, i lost Monday. Monday 7th September 2009 is now forever lost to me. Thanks alot International Date Line. XP (EDIT: i am well aware this post is displayed as Monday 7th, but its already Tuesday where i am...just not where the MyO servers are, yet. )

but now im in Sydney! im taking today easy to get my body clock back on track ((@_@)), but then the fun begins. i've never been to Australia before, so this should be fun!

i had a really good time in America and im really gonna miss my friends. but i got a whole new adventure lined up for me in the next few months, culminating in a visit to japan! one of my life goals!! heh heh.


well, till next time my friends. whenever (and wherever) that might be!


ciao.


P.S: lots of the americans thought i sounded australian...what are the australians gonna think i sound like (probably american...i've picked up a whole lot of their slang whilst i've been here!)


P.P.S: i definitely been in America too long...when i got picked up at the airport this morning, i went to get in the car on the right side of the car...which is the passenger side in america, but the driver side here in Oz (and at home too...sheesh!!)

;p later folks!!
