Living overseas and getting paid in the US dollar is quickly starting to suck.

no further explanation necessary.

uh oh, Australia is too Americanized for me

America is everywhere...

1. I saw a truck driver today with rebel flag in the cab. I seriously doubt he drove here from south of the mason dixon line, but I guess he's just an american racisit who moved here because there are less black people.

2. songs i've heard on the radio today - "born in the USA" and "Sweet home alabama"

3. and check out this wine label:







in conclusion... wtf????

Sydney: Repetitive Pictures of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge

scenic pictures from Christmas (Holy crap that was more than 4/12ths of a year ago!)

These pictures were taken at Airlie Beach and the Whitsunday Islands, Queensland. The Whitsunday Islands are 74 Islands in northern Queensland and are bordered by the Great Barrier Reef. It was absolutely beautiful and anyone who comes all the way to visit Australia shouldn't skip the Whitsundays.














Safety comes first in Australia and at Airlie Beach. Below is a coconet. Coconuts kill.

These next pictures are of Whithaven Beach, which is one of the top ten beaches in the world. It was stunning. I saw Stingrays and little sharks swimming in just a few inches of crystal clear water.




And here I am in my beautiful full bodied lycra suit and lady hat, just adding to the beauty of Whitehaven Beach. I can't wait to go back!

two scoops of sultanas?

Queensland Driver's License - I reckon I could have made one myself

I finally made it to the Australian equivalent of the DMV (department of motor vehicles). And let me tell you I was quite impressed. It was well lit, there was no faint hint of urine, I didn't feel the need to clutch my purse close to my body, the chairs weren't sticky, and I was actually able to get in and out all in a lunch break's time. And not only that - I didnt have to take a test, and left with an actual drivers license!! Here it is in all of its dot matrix printer/ laminating machine glory. Anyone need a fake Australian License? I can hook you up.
