Things i did where nice, but i wish i had been able to do more things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For instance, i bought a surfboard this weekend. But i didnt get to surf. I went to the beach, but the wind blew us away. The same goes for saturday night, we went out at opium on saturday, and partied with prince harry (well i saw him partying, but still i'm sure he respected our party skills as well), but i didnt get him to make me &lt;a href="http://www2.foxsearchlight.com/thelastkingofscotland/"&gt;king of schotland&lt;/a&gt;.  Also made an awesome u-turn in front of the nelson hotel, but the wheels stayed on the ground. Had an awesome braai at stu's new place, but didnt get to stay too long as we tried to surf once again. Only to arrive in muizenberg, and find out that we are too late. Drive back through a township, and shit our pants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well there is always next weekend...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22766093-116099616773497444?l=arneblogster.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://arneblogster.blogspot.com/feeds/116099616773497444/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22766093&amp;postID=116099616773497444' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22766093/posts/default/116099616773497444'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22766093/posts/default/116099616773497444'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://arneblogster.blogspot.com/2006/10/how-nice-is-weekend.html' title='How nice is a weekend'/><author><name>Arne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16321322646291054722</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/7679/img47325dl.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22766093.post-115977663750478858</id><published>2006-10-02T01:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-10-02T01:10:37.516-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Update of some sort</title><content type='html'>Just a small update, to keep the blog going...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what has happened since the last update, quite a lot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Sebastian has left the apartment :(&lt;br /&gt;- Had a very big farewell/last night going out with Sebastian and friends&lt;br /&gt;- Got an ulcer as a result of that night and many before.. or cuz of bad food/stress, take ur pick&lt;br /&gt;- Spent that weekend with Stuart and Susi, went to airshow, had some classy dinner...&lt;br /&gt;- Stuart left the following week as well :(&lt;br /&gt;- Had a last party in the flat&lt;br /&gt;- New roommate Douglas arrived, and new roommate Louisa&lt;br /&gt;- Had a week of going out without drinking...&lt;br /&gt;- Went to Stellenbosch on Friday with new roommates&lt;br /&gt;- Had a nice student party there and went out in Stellenbosch&lt;br /&gt;- Tasted some wine at some vineyards&lt;br /&gt;- Went to rugby match&lt;br /&gt;- Went out on saturday, got rejected to enter at Opium... the girls looked to young...&lt;br /&gt;- Did nothing on sunday&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;photos to follow&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22766093-115977663750478858?l=arneblogster.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://arneblogster.blogspot.com/feeds/115977663750478858/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22766093&amp;postID=115977663750478858' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22766093/posts/default/115977663750478858'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22766093/posts/default/115977663750478858'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://arneblogster.blogspot.com/2006/10/update-of-some-sort.html' title='Update of some sort'/><author><name>Arne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16321322646291054722</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/7679/img47325dl.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22766093.post-115858704294505152</id><published>2006-09-18T05:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-09-18T06:44:04.760-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Earth Dance festival</title><content type='html'>Last weekend I went to the Earth Dance festival, with other Dutch interns in Cape Town. The festival started on Saturday morning, we arrived in the afternoon. The weather was a bit shitty in the beginning, raining and cold. But after a few beers this was fine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We confiscated a BBQ and made it our fire place, after buying some wood in the ghetto next to the festival area. After we called some late-comers to bring a BBQ, we had a nice little braai as well. In the meantime, John has locked his carkeys inside the car, and almost smashing in his window (did u know that a mercedes key can be used on most other mercedes...not sure if i am happy with that).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The rest that follows is much alcohol, partying and little sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3048/2321/1600/CT%20September%2018%20008.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Then on Sunday we planned the trip to Robben Island... at 11 in the morning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Felt alright, but in the small rooms of the prison almost filled the historic prison with Ocean Basket food from the night before, but some fresh air did me well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In all seriousness. It was quite amazing to hear about all the cruelties that took place during the Apartheid. But also what a spirit most prisoners there had/achieved. By learning and not hating but forgiving they came out as stronger human beings.

This weekend with Sebastian and Katja to Cape of Good Hope, the most South Western point of the African continent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An early rise after some irregular nights, so it was a tiring ride, but the scenery is amazing. The Mercedes, aka Hyacinth, slowed down a bit on the steep hills, but she came through. Not using too much fuel, I am very happy with the big girl. I already scratched it driving it the first day and one of the wheel covers is a bit damaged (damn parallel parking), but she did well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On our way to the Cape we stopped in Simonstown, at Boulders beach, where there is a Penguin colony.

Although it looked like he would have trouble climbing the mountain, I was struggling badly. As we also started climbing late in the afternoon, we almost missed the last cable car down... but after a long climb I made it and the views are amazing. Like I said we didnt have much time on the top, so I am definetly coming back to check out all the views from the top.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3048/2321/1600/CT%20week1%20027.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3048/2321/400/CT%20week1%20027.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;On top of the Table Mountain&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3048/2321/1600/CT%20week1%20032.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3048/2321/400/CT%20week1%20032.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The sun sets on Camps Bay&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Besides the beautifull views and the amazing apartment I also experienced another side of South Africa this week. Easy Tiger Tourism supports a trust fund, TCD, which helps setup several projects in the townships of Cape Town. And this week there was an opening of a school and soup kitchen of Rosie, who started these projects by setting up a pre-school 20 years ago.

The guy that was in there before me had left just one day before I came, and they had been partying pretty hard for his last week. So that made the place a bit shabby. My room mates, Stuart and Sebastian, came back later that day on Saturday and we went out for a bit and on Sunday me and Sebastian climbed the Table Mountain. They cleaned the room Sunday morning, and it now looks awesome!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So soon some pictures of Table Mountain and the apartment,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;for now&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ciao&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22766093-115616594382222424?l=arneblogster.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://arneblogster.blogspot.com/feeds/115616594382222424/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22766093&amp;postID=115616594382222424' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22766093/posts/default/115616594382222424'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22766093/posts/default/115616594382222424'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://arneblogster.blogspot.com/2006/08/living-in-cape-town.html' title='Living in Cape Town'/><author><name>Arne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16321322646291054722</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/7679/img47325dl.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22766093.post-115580458523324971</id><published>2006-08-17T01:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-08-17T01:49:45.243-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Overlanding Africa Competition</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3048/2321/1600/right-images.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3048/2321/320/right-images.0.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A free trip overlanding africa...whats not to like?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyone planning a trip overlanding africa, going from Southern Africa to East Africa?

Today I went to for Lunch at Long Street Cafe again, just because I am lazy, very lazy. And this time I had a chicken/avocado burger, on recommendation of the waiter, and it was very nice as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;"  &gt;The café itself is a traditional bar and the service is very friendly. The café has a nice bar area, which is a mix of a sports bar and a business café, they also show football and other sports at the Long Street Cafe. Which is a good thing so close to work...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Greetings,&lt;/p&gt;Arne&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22766093-115573300088751675?l=arneblogster.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://arneblogster.blogspot.com/feeds/115573300088751675/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22766093&amp;postID=115573300088751675' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22766093/posts/default/115573300088751675'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22766093/posts/default/115573300088751675'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://arneblogster.blogspot.com/2006/08/lunch-long-street-cafe.html' title='Lunch Long Street Cafe'/><author><name>Arne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16321322646291054722</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/7679/img47325dl.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22766093.post-115563106470567712</id><published>2006-08-15T01:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-08-15T07:00:08.460-07:00</updated><title type='text'>First Day of work @ Drive South Africa</title><content type='html'>Yesterday I had my first day of work after staying just a couple of days in Cape Town, checking out the city and all. The office of Drive South Africa is in a side street of Long Street, and it is about a 15 min walk from the hostel, so that is fine. The Long street is 'the street' in Cape Town, and has a lot of bars and clubs. The Kloofstreet is a pretty well-known street as well, but than for its restaurants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first day of work was very nice, the work looks to be very interesting and the collegues are very nice as well. I am gonna focus on online marketing and promoting the company through the internet. It is really interesting to see how the online marketing works, and if I have any ideas I can promote through using other media as well like making pictures and video to get attention to the site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am also buying a car at Drive South Africa, a Golf 1, because I am moving in to an appartment a bit further from work next week. And it is just easier having a car in Cape Town.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check out the car, Golf 1 1995, &lt;a href="http://www.drivesouthafrica.co.za/buyback_vehicle_list.php?cat=A"&gt;Drive South Africa&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok will start to take pictures soon as well&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arne&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22766093-115563106470567712?l=arneblogster.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://arneblogster.blogspot.com/feeds/115563106470567712/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22766093&amp;postID=115563106470567712' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22766093/posts/default/115563106470567712'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22766093/posts/default/115563106470567712'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://arneblogster.blogspot.com/2006/08/first-day-of-work-drive-south-africa.html' title='First Day of work @ Drive South Africa'/><author><name>Arne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16321322646291054722</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/7679/img47325dl.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22766093.post-115530221578576330</id><published>2006-08-11T06:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-08-16T06:01:52.013-07:00</updated><title type='text'>South Africa</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3048/2321/1600/south_africa_flag.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3048/2321/400/south_africa_flag.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have arrived in South Africa!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This should be the beginning of a new part of the blog, and I havent even completed the blog for New Zealand or Australia (lazy arne).

type='text'>New Zealand update</title><content type='html'>And so the trip in New Zealand begins....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Left for Manly beach, Sydney, early in the week and stayed there for a couple of days. Very nice beach and one of the nicer parts of Sydney, definetly some place i'd like to go back to. And then after that we said goodbye to Zarry and got on the plane to New Zealand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flight was pretty late and were pretty tired when we got there, but went out and hostel was pretty nice. Next day we left to Hamner springs, was pretty nice and very relaxed. The hostel was very small and next day went for a walk up the mountain. Then drove upto Kaikoura and had another nice night there, scenery was pretty boring cause it was raining, but got to see some seals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After headed back to Christchurch to go see the rugby game which the canberrians lost, but the atmosphere was very good.

As glad I am that school is over, it is also sad to leave. I had a great time here, so leaving isn't fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But heh, I am going to New Zealand next week so who's complaining.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last couple of weeks have been good, with last week another karaoke night and after that a lot of going out. Also went to a Rugby game, of the local team the Brumbies (they won with 29-0). The International Cuisine dinner was before that and went really well as well, was a lot of fun to do. The cooking went pretty well, and I spent 16 hours in the kitchen, but we pulled it off. The exams are now almost over and I passed all classes (well results are not in yet, but im pretty sure), so that's done as well. Have to get all things sorted out before I leave, so still looking for internship and really have to get things organized.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And yea.. now the last week, which is basically going to be a lot of partying as it seems now, and then saying good bye to everyone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok some pictures, not my camera cause i always forget it, thanks berny for the pics&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3048/2321/400/x1poKKs0nDau6LkFfi3b8glt7uw82qG0jlK7UzhLB0ITET-RWcHB9yGYKB7j6a_r-C-vWjY0PXwmcDyOu__5v9toNWmPDCZyTY6p0BC7KP5KJ34T0lBmS_kOGEJgv4F1JgUCHQIiGT3BuWyn7RWcv0HOai5T7.jpg" border="0" /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Daphne's birthday at Belucci's&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3048/2321/400/x1poKKs0nDau6LkFfi3b8glt7uw82qG0jlK7UzhLB0ITERxrhUpziAaAwHp9aZh3MGWwBsxLIH8YhYKTIAfdyr6XCBnDuTxbpT9PJMALtcZjXQTyf3BxevGa5GPMuPVAjvj1_mkTrl2s_bW0bZq5ccKoGAfiG.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Daphne is sitting next to me on my left&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3048/2321/400/x1poKKs0nDau6LkFfi3b8glt7uw82qG0jlK7UzhLB0ITESzOpFgXodlPOzJhHZlE7GefOVK4q7NfM8uWJhTtIukci9S2H9Xo4dv50hN7WSJNWAY0nq9os-ziqqXfoQmMK3oythhBYtI9ra4amNsEdAHq2Uu2V.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Still at belucci's&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3048/2321/400/x1poKKs0nDau6LkFfi3b8glt7uw82qG0jlK7UzhLB0ITESMdnrRVJjVEjXAd4xExkDauJ5TpBVMDgpOcgGDA1tgi9v1Uh3Z09C8tVggnoWr7VkyNSBQxvrrgZHgdQcNaKiU-vz0jUnCW9bVysdA7_II1W3kXp.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Ben and Muff&lt;br /&gt;Also another activity at the RUC, Trivia night where u can win $750 by answering questions so we always try... as its for free. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Wanted to post more pics, but blogger.com is a bit annoying doesnt work&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22766093-114646827371677063?l=arneblogster.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://arneblogster.blogspot.com/feeds/114646827371677063/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22766093&amp;postID=114646827371677063' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22766093/posts/default/114646827371677063'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22766093/posts/default/114646827371677063'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://arneblogster.blogspot.com/2006/04/last-week.html' title='Last Week'/><author><name>Arne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16321322646291054722</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/7679/img47325dl.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22766093.post-114525717870055627</id><published>2006-04-16T23:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-04-16T23:59:38.713-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Random pictures</title><content type='html'>Hier zijn wat foto's van Berny's blog, een meisje dat altijd foto's maakt als we uitgaan.

Pretty good, i reckon. From the initial 10 people going to Melbourne, only 3 are actually coming through. Me, Zarry and Robin are going, but others are dropping by in Melbourne for a couple of days i believe. I admit I am jealous of the two girls going to Fiji, but that is just out of the budget and Melbourne is pretty cool as well i gotta say, with the Commonwealth Games it should be pretty cool. We're leaving this weekend on Sunday morning at 6:45, ouch!, but luckily Jodie is the kindest person on this planet and will drive us there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We also booked a hostel for the first 4 days, the Bakpak (catchy name), right in the center of the city. After that we might be able to stay at a friend of Zarry, but she has never seen him cause he is a friend of a friend of a friend or something... so we will have to wait and see bout that, but thats to far ahead to even think about. Also hoping to go to the Commonwealth Games, but we will decide when we are there, the Canadians of course want to support Canadia, and myself being an honorary Canadian with official papers I will support them as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To adress another point: When even my little niece complaints i should have more photos, something is going wrong, so I will take more pictures and put them up here. I'll get some more photo's from other people, cause there enough pictures taken so that is definetly not the problem...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3048/2321/400/pre-mardi%20gras.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Picture taken in the courtyard of the school, before going to the Mardi Grass Party at Daniels house.

This in itself is a lot of fun, messing around and actually making a proper meal, which btw taste really good. The teacher is a bit boring at times when he gives a whole instruction on all the ingredients in a very monotone voice, but he is a good chef.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are some ingredients not for the faint harted such as the belly of pork with teats attached, pigs legs, chicken lung and fish paste which smells like dogcrap mixed with cat pee.

Daarom schrijf ik nu gewoon een lulverhaal met wat foto's die daar bij passen. Met als thema: uitgaan in Canberra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dit is iets waar je kort en lang over kunt lullen. Dit komt met name door het feit dat er niet echt een uitgaansgebied is waar iedereen is. Het centrum, Civic, is zeker het drukst en heeft de meeste echt clubs. Ik ken ze niet allemaal maar ze zijn op twee handen te tellen. Muziek is meeste house, maar ook pubs met meer populaire muziek. Dus in principe een prima uitgaansgebied, alleen is het vrij ver van het hotel. Taxi terug is meestal betaalbaar als je met groep gaat, dus in principe prima.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maar er zijn meer opties, zo heb je vlakbij Manuka, een posh wijk met allemaal hippe tents en ook een paar clubs/pubs waar je uit kunt gaan. Hier ben ik zelf nog niet geweest maar de verhalen zijn wisselend. Het is zeker makkelijk omdat het 10 min lopen is, alleen is er niet echt veel. Wel belangrijk is dat er daar ook een bottle-o is, aka Gall &amp; Gall, waar je goedkoop drinken in kunt slaan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Naast Manuka ligt Kingston, een iets minder opvallende wijk, maar wel met een paar goeie bars. Een ierse pub, die altijd wel gezellig zijn en nog een paar bars met goede muziek en sfeer. Kingston ligt ongeveer op de zelfde afstand, alleen zeggen sommigen dat het dichterbij is terwijl anderen claimen dat het verder is. Maakt dus niet veel uit, maar het is wel een goeie plek om uit te gaan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dit zijn de plekken waar ik geweest ben, maar je hebt ook nog andere buitenwijken met meer bars/pubs etc., maar deze liggen vrij ver weg en dus niet in de mogelijkheden... dichtbij ligt ook nog het Old Parliament House, waar elke vrijdag happy hour is en dus redelijk betaalbaar. Het is wel enorm duur, maar er is wel goede muziek en relaxte sfeer. Veel business people en erg hip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3048/2321/400/Australia%20045.jpg" border="0" /&gt; &lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3048/2321/400/Australia%20053.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En dan finally de RUC, een rugbyclubhouse om de hoek van het hotel, waar we het meest zijn geweest waarschijnlijk. Niet omdat dit nou een geweldige plek is, maar ja het ligt wel erg dichtbij... En het is vaak ook gezellig omdat de hotelschool studenten ongeveer de enige klanten zijn. Er zijn wel veel andere regular guests, maar die ken je ook allemaal wel ongeveer. Hoewel het heel vaak wel gezellig is, is het ook te dichtbij om echt van uitgaan te spreken. Te veel bekende gezichten, en dus zijn we er de laatste tijd niet vaak geweest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3048/2321/400/Australia%20079.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3048/2321/400/Australia%20081.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mardi Grass party was erg gezellig gister, alleen moesten we wel een halfuur terug lopen.

I took a photo during the busride, not a very special one, but still. The hills in the back are about the same as in Canberra itself. It was also one of the rare days in Australia for me that it was cloudy. No rain, but just some clouds...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3048/2321/400/Australia%20020.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the first couple of days I havent taken many pictures, and started to taking photos some time later. The next picture is one from my room, which as mentioned before is pretty decent. The best thing of course is the service, which cleanes and changes the linen every week. At this very moment my bed is being cleaned, and that makes it very liveable. To the left of the picture is also a sink and mirror and there are two closets in the room, enough for my huge collection of clothes... The hallway is close to the dining area and to most other things, which doesnt mean anything cause it is all close but he. Only minus point i can think of is the fact that there are all ANU students in my hallway, which you dont see that much cause they got different schedule and all.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3048/2321/400/Australia%20025.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then after two weeks I brought my camera along to finally take some pictures. On a recovery night from all the alcohol I went with Prana (rightside), Daphne (centre), Nick (tip of hair in background) and Freya (left) to the Pancake Parlour. The rest was going for a big night out, and as my budget didnt allow this I went for pancakes instead. Which turned out to be a good choice, as the pancakes where great. Not the original Dutch pancakes, but real American big ones with maple sirup and ice cream.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3048/2321/400/Australia%20028.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3048/2321/400/Pancake.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Next time more pictures of other people and of Canberra, but right now I dont feel like sitting behind the computer anymore. Uploading takes long.... but here is a last picture of last weeks International Cuisine class. The theme of the week was Vietnam, but it were dishes from all South East Asia. With all the raw ingredients you would expect for such a thing, like crab and pork with teats still on it... Team AAP (Arne, Allie, Pamela) made the best banana leaf roles, with salad and stir fried chicken, and the dinner was great. The week before was Thais, and more to my liking, but still it was very good. Spicy!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3048/2321/400/international%20cuisine.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cyas laters&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22766093-114196199589302969?l=arneblogster.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://arneblogster.blogspot.com/feeds/114196199589302969/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22766093&amp;postID=114196199589302969' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22766093/posts/default/114196199589302969'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22766093/posts/default/114196199589302969'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://arneblogster.blogspot.com/2006/03/photo-tour-part-2.html' title='The Photo Tour - Part 2'/><author><name>Arne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16321322646291054722</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/7679/img47325dl.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22766093.post-114188902316771956</id><published>2006-03-08T22:36:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-03-08T23:23:43.190-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Photo Tour</title><content type='html'>Finally I have taken the time to get the photos of the camera and now I have found the time to put them on the net. I have also called home for the first time and will send cards soon (dont be disappointed if you dont get one, old people come first) Especially since it is not cheap, altough that shouldnt matter of course... but it does ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, now the photos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3048/2321/400/Australia%20001.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We begin of course with the departure at Schiphol. Too early for me to even smile, but it was a nice departure and I was excited to go. Judith of course brought in the emotional outburst that is usual when someone leaves, or maybe that is just Juut...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3048/2321/400/Australia%20006.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here is a picture of my first day in Sydney, when i visited Darling Harbor. It is in walking distance of the hostel and has a very chilled atmosphere. Close to some big hotels and fancy restaurants, it is a parade of the hip crowd. And of course in the background the bridge and Monorail.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3048/2321/400/Australia%20009.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;And here we have the sight of all sights in Sydney, of course i have to have a picture of the Opera House. This picture is taken whilst standing on the Harbor Bridge.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3048/2321/400/Australia%20015.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And this one is from closer by...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3048/2321/400/Australia%20014.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here we have another sight maybe even more impressive, the Sydney Harbor Bridge. When they started building it, the aim was to make it the longest one arched bridge in the world, but when finished the Americans made one 0.25 cm longer, still a touchy subject. It doesnt look to long, but is quite a long walk.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3048/2321/400/Australia%20010.2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And here is a view of the city itself, with all major skycrapers insight. Basically this is the city center, which is of course stretching out untill the hostel. To the left is the Opera House, to the right is Darling Harbor and China Town.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And here are some pictures of going out in Sydney, these are taken in the hostel bar below Wake Up. It was the last night, and as I dont really bring my camera to a bar, it was good that I finally took some pictures. And I think I have mentioned this before, maybe in Dutch but I dont remember all names which is pretty bad, and I apologize to anyone who happens to read this and is on a picture, but tough luck to you then!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3048/2321/400/Australia%20016.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Guy holding up his thumb &amp; Fraser&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3048/2321/400/Australia%20017.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Arts School Student England (Roommate) &amp; Canadian Girl&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3048/2321/400/Australia%20018.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Group picture&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3048/2321/400/Australia%20022.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Nick (?) from England &amp;amp; Girl Canada name with M..&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Ok thats all folks, soon more pictures of Canberra, but now I have to eat... hope its good&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;Tomorrow i will give a presentation on the Fiscal Policy during Macro economics at 8.30.

Na de Hawaii party kwam een vrij vage nacht omdat Simon een jongen die in de kamer naast mij zat een beetje van de wereld was. Blijkbaar had hij medicijnen genomen de avond ervoor nadat we redelijk wat hadden gedronken op woensdag. Nadat hij naar het ziekenhuis was gebracht is hij die avond nog weer op een rampage gegaan en heeft ook wat meisjes lastig gevallen. Volgende dag was hij er nog niet helemaal bij en is uit school gekickt de volgende dag.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voor de meeste was het allemaal niet een prettige ervaring en was de stemming dus een beetje down. Prana, meisje uit Indonesie die ook IBS studeert, en Daphne, een andere exchange student van Singapore, waren vooral lsstig gevallen door hem. En tijdens het ontbijt kwam hij even bij ons staan, nog steeds niet helemaal clean,  maar ging al vrij snel weer weg en de meiden waren blij dat ik tussen hun in zat... ja niet echt vrolijke stemming op die dag&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weekend dat volgde ben ik niet echt veel uit geweest, alleen op zaterdag geloof ik (tja mijn geheugen is niet zo goed). Maar dit was wel goed voor mijn portemenee. Ik ben overdag nog wel naar de Canberra Show geweest met de helft van team Canada (Ayla, Zarry, Pamela), een enorme show met allemaal farm animals en circus attracties. We hebben daar wat rondgelopen en wat shows bekeken, ook een super grappige pig race en een cannonball woman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De week die volgde was het vrij druk als gezegd eerder, met presentaties en ander huiswerk. Tijdens de week zijn we ook nog een paar keer uitgeweest en afgelopen paar dagen elke avond. Meeste avonden gingen we naar de RUC, een rugby club, maar dat begint ook wel saai te worden dus was het relaxt om een keer ergens anders heen te gaan. We gingen op zaterdag naar Kingston, waar we de dag eerder ook al waren maar ik mocht niet naar binnen omdat ik mijn rijbewijs niet bij me had, maar was waarschijnlijk omdat ik slippers aan had... was een vrij dure tent dus ze hadden daar geen zin in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zaterdag was zeer relaxt met bijna de hele avond buiten gezeten in Kingston en daarna Kingston park even besproeid te hebben, weer terug naar de hotel. Daarna nog een floor picnic gehad in Ayla's room met Allie, een meid uit Australie die hier laatste term nu doet. Nog Judith's CD laten horen en ze konden niet geloven dat dat mijn zus was. Melodic Rootz is going international... Zondag was ook vrij relaxt en heb de Da Vinci Code ook even gelezen, super goed boek einde iets minder, en we hebben collectief ook afgesproken een week niet te drinken.

Was een beetje een last minute party, dus niet heel geslaagd. Muziek was ook niet geregeld, dus we hadden alleen muziek via een van de kamers. Daarom gingen we al vrij snel door na de RUC, rugby union club, ongeveer 100 m van de school, waar we de meeste avonden heengaan om nog wat verder te feesten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De foto's zijn genomen door Ms Neil, de vrouw van een van de leraren (Mr Neil ;) ) , op zich heel aardig en heel amerikaans, maar zijn lessen zijn wel oersaai, want hij zit zich zelf en zijn vrouw in de hemel te prijzen, en lult aan een stuk door over helemaal niks... maar goed de tests schijnen niet heel moeilijk te zijn dus dat is dan ook wel prima&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Album=SI8XWAHA"&gt;http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Album=SI8XWAHA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok nou de groeten&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arne&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22766093-114091762757075020?l=arneblogster.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://arneblogster.blogspot.com/feeds/114091762757075020/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22766093&amp;postID=114091762757075020' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22766093/posts/default/114091762757075020'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22766093/posts/default/114091762757075020'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://arneblogster.blogspot.com/2006/02/hawaii-party.html' title='Hawaii Party'/><author><name>Arne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16321322646291054722</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/7679/img47325dl.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22766093.post-114083357875406644</id><published>2006-02-24T18:09:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-02-24T18:12:58.763-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Foto's Sunday on the Lake</title><content type='html'>Hier zijn wat foto's van afgelopen zondag.

Ook nog langs een echte Cheers bar geweest, maar voor de rest was het niet veel bijzonders qua uitgaan, wel veel gelachen om de Engelse humor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Day 4&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De laatste dag in Sydney.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De dag ervoor heb ik de stad al wat meer verkent, en de Opera House en alle andere tourists sights 'ontdekt'... alleen zonder foto toestel dus is het een goede reden om weer down town de tourist uit te hangen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De wandeling van de hostel naar de Sydney Harbor, en Opera House lijkt vrij lang op de kaart, maar je wandelt recht door het centrum door de stad dus er is genoeg te zien. Het is vooral het business hart waar je door heen crosst, en je krijgt respect voor alle business lui in hun pakken die buiten in 40 graden Celsius hun lunch en cigarretje roken. Ik heb alleen een andere route genomen deze keer, omdat ik ook nog over de Sydney Harbour Bridge wil lopen en loop daarom door een klein wijkje 'The Rocks'. Het doet een beetje Middellandse Zee achtig aan, en is vlakbij het centrum. Bij de brug aangekomen blijkt dat je ook een tour onder de brug kunt nemen hangend aan een touwtje, Australiers proberen van alles een avontuur te maken, maar dat kost ook vrij veel geld dus ik loop tot halverwege de brug en dan richting Opera house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meer foto's en touristen, bij een gebouw dat niet echt heel bijzonder is, vooral als de zon niet schijnt, want de reflectie is wel 'impressive' doordat er allemaal plaatjes van marmer ? opliggen. Vanaf de Opera House nog even door een parkje gelopen terug naar het hostel, waar ik na wat eten weer even wat jet-lag...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S'avonds maakt Fraser mij, en een nieuw Engels meisje, wakker om naar de bar te gaan. De dag ervoor kwam zij vrij vroeg binnen stormen, iets te vroeg.., maar is een aardige meid en we gaan naar de bar met de buren en andere. Een duitse (oostenrijker) jongen die op surfles is maak ik later nog wakker als ik mijn camera ophaal, maar hij is 'zu tired ja', en de laatste avond is verder de beste zover. Genoeg bier en eindelijk ook goede muziek dus er wordt gedanst...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dag 5&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Volgende ochtend vroeg in de morgen op, en alles bij elkaar schrapen. Behalve de pepermuntjes, vergeet ik niks, maar de rest vind de 'mints' ook te lekker dus dat maakt niet uit. Na snel ontbijt, met niet te vreten cereal, ik moet echt leren dat te eten blijkt dat 90% van de wereld het wel eet, snel naar de bus. Ticket al dag ervoor gekocht, en verder no problemo's.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tijdens de rit naar Canberra zie ik eindelijk wat van Australische countryside, hoewel het niet spectaculair is, zie je wel hoe ruig het land is. Dichterbij Canberra wordt het al wat meer heuvelachtig en zijn er kleine bergjes te herkennen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bij aankomst bel ik even naar de school en ze komen er al aan want ze halen nog iemand op, blijkbaar ook van IBS, ene Freya die German Track studeert. Ze is niet op het station en komt de volgende dag aan. In Sydney had ik ook al even gecommuniceerd met de school over de pcik-up en bedankt pap voor de message in de hostel, had ik het mobiele nummer makkelijk bij de hand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nou dit was het weer even, ik ga binnenkort serieus foto's uploaden, want ik heb het gister even geprobeerd op school network maar dat gaat super langzaam dus doe ik het nu even op een breedband computer lost van het netwerk. Verder gister leuke Hawaii party gehad, en iemand die iets teveel gehad had. Simon, eerstejaars en in kamer naast mij had iets teveel medicijnen genomen en liep als een zombie door school. Verder niks ernstigs gebeurd, maar ik geloof niet dat iedereen het even relaxt vond.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok groeten&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arne&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22766093-114075655732727504?l=arneblogster.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://arneblogster.blogspot.com/feeds/114075655732727504/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22766093&amp;postID=114075655732727504' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22766093/posts/default/114075655732727504'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22766093/posts/default/114075655732727504'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://arneblogster.blogspot.com/2006/02/sydney-is-great-city.html' title='Sydney is a great city'/><author><name>Arne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16321322646291054722</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/7679/img47325dl.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22766093.post-114057998805580627</id><published>2006-02-21T19:09:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-02-21T19:46:28.086-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The trip begins</title><content type='html'>He iedereeen,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ik zal deze post even gebruiken om wat terug te kijken op de laatste paar dagen. Ik heb al wat door gemaild in de afgelopen tijd, maar verder niet echt veel tijd en zin om een heel verhaal te gaan zitten typen. Het is nu ook serieus goed weer buiten, maar iedereen heeft les nu, dus gebruik ik de tijd om even wat op te schrijven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dag 1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vlucht naar Sydney was superlang, en ook vermoeiend. Was wel een mooie gelegenheid om alle laatste films even te zien, maar je ritme wordt er wel door verstoord. Aankomst in Singapore was echt supermooi, lijkt me echt een supergafe stad en mensen op campus die er geweest zijn of zelfs vandaan komen vertellen ook dat het heel bijzonder is, daar moeten we dus ook maar een keer heen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Na de transfer op Singapore, nog wat geslapen in de gate, ging de reis verder met SA naar Sydney. Wat ook mooie uitzichten gaf, vliegen over de Indische Oceaan en vervolgens over Australia. De outback is van boven echt een grote rode woestijn, en geen leven te bekennen. We vlogen ook blijkbaar nog over Ayers Rock, niet gezien, maar de omgeving daar was echt supermooi. Als ik de tijd heb wil ik zekers naar Ayers Rock, schijnt echt supermooi te zijn, een grote steen midden in de woestijn. Voor de Abbo's (Aborignals) is het ook een religieus steentje, en ze hebben ook liever niet dat je hem beklimt, maar de meeste Aussies doen dat natuurlijk wel...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok verder met de reis en aankomst in Sydney, wat qua vliegtuigbelevenis ook zeker bijzonder is. Over de stad heen, paar honderd meter boven de grond, raasde we naar het vliegveld. Ik was nu al vrij moe, maar kreeg wel meer energie nu ik eindelijk klaar was met reizen en zitten in een vliegtuig (777 is IMO ruimer dan een 747). En nu kon ik eindelijk uit het vliegtuig, maar niet voordat ik even mijn sandwich en bolletjes van Mevr. J. Woudstra had weggegooid, want de Aussies will liever geen ander voedsel hun land in. Bij de douane check was een lange rij, maar ik had blijkbaar de goede uitgekozen want ik was snel aan de beurt. Mijn baggage kwam ook vrij snel waardoor ik niet heel lang hoefde te wachten. Toen ik mijn sealbag eraf haalde kwam een security guy met hond eraan snuffelen. Eerst liep hij gewoon voorbij maar hij kwam even daarna terug en de hond rook aan mijn tas. Ik dacht even shit, wat is dit...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maar ik wist dat er verder niks in zat, en de security guard vroeg "can I look in ur bag?" Ik zei 'sure'  en deed mijn tas open. 'No food?', 'nope' , ok dus... 'did you have sandwiches in here b4?' en ja dus, de bolletjes van mijn moeder, nog bedankt daarvoor mam ;) . Maar dat viel dus mee, en bij de bagage check maakt de douane gast ook nog een grapje of ik nog stroopwafels en oliebollen mee heb genomen. 'Deze keer niet' en ik liep door de check heen, into Australia!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toen met een shuttle busje, echt zo'n Suriname bus Juut, naar het hostel gebracht met twee andere Wake Up hostelgangers. Was vrij moe en ingechecked in mijn kamer, 4 persoons. Mijn kamergenoten toen waren 1 nederlands meisje, fleur, niet veel gezien want ze drinkt geen alcohol en was gewoon weg nooit op de kamer. Verder een meisje van Noorwegen, van wie ik de naam niet meer herriner, maar was heel aardig alleen ging ze de volgende dag alweer weg studeren in Newcastle, een plaatsje in het Noorden. En verder nog Fraser, van Canada, een super aardige gast waar je mee kunt lachen. Die avond gingen Fraser, Norway, meisje uit Ierland (ik moet namen opschrijven denk ik), en meisje uit Brazilie naar de bar beneden het hostel. Niet een superbar, maar wel verdomd dichtbij, en was een leuke avond. Betekende wel dat mijn jetlag lekker mee ging naar de volgende dag, wat ik dus ook merkte&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dag 2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Super jetlag&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Opstaan, even lopen naar Darling harbour, super mooi en dichtbij haventje. Weer was ook super en ik leer de waarde van sunblock. Nog even een hapje eten met wat andere hostelers, en even wat gelezen. Tussendoor was ik al in slaap gevallen onderweg in Sydney, niet beroofd wel wat verbrand, maar tegen de avond moest ik weer slapen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En dan wordt je weer wakker richting 12 uur s'nachts maar ik wou slapen want anders was er morgen weer Jetlag, dus ben blijven liggen en half geslapen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;wordt vervolgd ga nu in real time zwemmen in Wodan, een suburb in het zuiden van Canberra geloof ik. Verder nog wat actueel nieuws, presentatie gehad en ging goed, dus alles goed verder&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;signed by&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arne&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22766093-114057998805580627?l=arneblogster.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://arneblogster.blogspot.com/feeds/114057998805580627/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22766093&amp;postID=114057998805580627' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22766093/posts/default/114057998805580627'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22766093/posts/default/114057998805580627'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://arneblogster.blogspot.com/2006/02/trip-begins.html' title='The trip begins'/><author><name>Arne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16321322646291054722</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/7679/img47325dl.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22766093.post-114051140327752403</id><published>2006-02-21T00:39:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-02-21T00:48:40.153-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Ze first blog ja</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"&gt;Ah this is my first blog ever!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"&gt;I could of course start of with an awesome post with great stories, and funny remarks of epic proportions.
