Lost In Space






That goes to vaguely describe how I feel at the moment after my arrival in Chile. I feel so weird today, as I have been in two places at the same time...an examle was at midnght on 26th Feb I was in Syd chatting away to my brother, then also at midnight on 26 Feb I was in the air over the Pacific on my way here....yes yes different time zones, but is quiet surreal.

This is going to be quiet a short one as it will likely turn into something in a langage of gibberish for not sleeping for I dont know how long as I am now confused with times.

Was great to catch up with all those in Sydney I had an awesome time snorkelling at Clovelly where a gropper swam a foot from where I first put my snorkell down to have a look (that being a fish and not a pervert human), then Sparky and I went kayaking at The Spit!! on Friday. Dinner at Phamish, and a famous Lager dinner. Thanks to the girls Jo and Lou for the Tropfest night, and those that made the effort to catch up.

Well must go for a nap. Camera back working so I posted a couple of photos some of the band practice with Sparky and a couple of Lou and Jo on my old St in Sydney and pictures of Darlo Bar and how it has become socially responsible.

Take care
Sx

Nigeria

I looked up a few books stores to try and find a guide book about this country – and nothing. I must admit though I didn’t check out if there was a section in the Africa books. However country books were mainly for South Africa and Kenya. Coming from Sydney from my brothers wedding weekend it was my seventh long haul flight in around 6 weeks – I was tired but am getting use to airports and long haul flights and I found myself mouthing the emergency exit demonstration. The flight was not very nice – we seemed to go through a storm – it was pretty spectacular until we hit a huge air pockets and it turned into a carnival ride when people sneak on food and drinks. Getting onto the flight to Lagos at my transit point of Dubai, two things were apparent, the Nigerians travel in numbers and love duty free…The cabins were overflowed with duty free bags, and I was confused as to who knew which bag was whose. Landing in a new country I find exciting – always. The start to the ...

Cape Town

I ventured into my first town in the southern countries of Africa. Cape Town what a wonderful place. A little fact that reclaimed land (that being they pumped sand from the ocean to create land) makes up most of city section of Cape Town. I travelled on my own here for a work project. The first night I went into the Waterfront which was pretty touristic but had some lovely restaurants. I was on my own, and so they put me in the best seat of the house over looking the waster, and one of the waiters would come and keep me company - how lovely. We had one of the operations guys down from Gabon who had spent many a night in Cape Town being the remotes business center so to speak. He knew the owner of the Manor I stayed in, and from the second or third night, we started off listening to the owners stories, being a well travelled man born in Canada, raised in Brasil, working in Russia in the likes of oil industries, hedge funds and then giving up that life when he met h...

Chile and the mullet comparison

A very important word to learn in Spanish which is also very important to the locals in South America “Cubanas” or better known as The Mullet. Do not think of the general cubana population of Australia or England that have yet to get out of the 80`s but more to the "belleza" of the football field. My observations of this master hair piece is that it can look somewhat funky being closer to a cropped mowhawk with an extra bit at the back. Though in the world of curly hair it has become affectionetely known as the woody woodpecker, thanks to Dolly and her detailed description of a bit of gaff of hair popped on top of someones head like a woody woodpecker. The Santiago version is usually, blunt fringe short side and what is supposedly for partying at the back is a mass of long straight hair that would struggle to get an invite to a bingo night. I have been a week in Santiago. On the positive note I am doing well in classes and have learnt past tense (important for conversat...
