day1

from the first day in Australia there is not much that can be said! the only interesting thing is that i was a zombie that day!
i toke a fast shower (yes mom and dad..i can do that!!) and run to uni to meet my supervisor and take care of papers and other stuff!
 - "simaio (i am tired of being called like a mayo brand...but i need to be patient..if a year in england taught me is that nobody but i mean nobody calls me a chicken! (ups wrong movie...2-0) ..ok..no english native speaker can say my name properly...i dont even try to teach the "ão" part..but even without that detail nobody say it right) you look tired? jet lag? (naaaahhhhh..no kiddin)

so had a subway sandwich and went to bed at 7..pm..and woke up the other day at 6..am..for my surprise the sun was high in the sky and i decided to take a walk

- Can you please shut up and tell us about Australia?

i know it took me 3 and 1/2 posts to start describing and adding pics but i appreciate your patience!

i left home with no map..i just decided to walk half an hour and then come back.
the first thing i noticed was that there was a lot of movement in the street although it was only 6.30...lots of cars around and people running or walking their dogs ( and saying goodmorning...). it was hot and humid again and i was very surprised with what i was seeing. i've never been in a country like australia..in a way it is similar to america..the streets are very large and no apartments around..only houses of medium quality with small gardens. but what surprised me was the trees! loads of "eucaliptos" ( i am tired of google translator) and  palm trees..the grass looks a little bit dried but it is everywhere. the vegetation is similar to florida if i can say that (never been there..just speculating from movies).other thing is the birds..lots of different birds making a huge noise!

here are some pics off my street...

yeah..that is a small pool..but just wait...

saturday i had an awesome day with Geoff and Elizabeth! the beaches are just amazing..42km of straight beach with lots of trees,grass and showers..
before going to the ocean Geoff told me that the water could be a little chill but during the summer it gets hotter..well it was more than good! the water was at an awesome temperature and very clean. from the beach it can be distinguished two different blue/green tones in the water...b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l

and..sorry
