Before my flight
So that's it packing up and happy to go. The 
party last night was great and the night was long. The goodbye got a little emotional as after two months I got attached to some of the people I meet here. Well who knows may see them again in future.

Happy to go, sad to leave
Today it’s my last day in the office and honestly I am happy to go however after two months I really got attached to some of the people working here. It makes me a little sad knowing that the chances to meet up again are very slim. Well I hope that the e-technology will help to stay in touch for a little bit.
It was a unique opportunity to work in Australia and I will surly take home nice memories. Let’s enjoy the big pary tonight and I will put some picture in the blog before closing it up and start a new one for my Aussie friends :-)

Last weekend in Sydney
Luckily no karaoke for the farewell party and Friday night was pub and dinner time at the Rocks – check it out that is the place http://www.theargyle.biz/
Saturday 34 degrees not the best idea to go to the zoo but my co-worker got free tickets and I went with her family and friends a real expedition including kids and picnic baskets. I arrived home I was dead…Well nearly I still had some energy to go out for dinner at a nice restaurant near the sea enjoying the nice weather and the beautiful view.
As food is such a social thing, just no way to stop it so out again on Sunday to Newtown with my flat mate and friends of him. Spending an enjoyable Sunday having lunch, followed by tea and chatter.
An other five days, nearly there, Sydney and the people are lovely but I am really missing the family…time to go home

Update
It is getting hotter over here, on Saturday we had 28C so I got taken to Palm Beach for lunch and dolphins watching. We saw about 6 of them playing with the wave, so relaxing and enjoyable. The beaches are really wonderful over here and I have been told that for Christmas people go out to the beach and eat lobster. No skiing, no snow no cold…how sad…
Unfortunately on Sunday it was raining again and it cooled down. A good excuse for my Swedish flat mate to rent the whole season one of Ally McBeal. So part of the afternoon was dedicated to this highly academically task and since then I cannot get rid of the theme song.
After a while you get to talk with people about more personal thinks like politics. Like go to vote, in Switzerland either you vote or not. In Australia either you vote or you pay a fine of AUD55! Kind of weird in my opinion because apparently they just vote to vote and not vote to change. Well other country other customs.
I will be off next week so tonight I get my farewell party as the boss will be away after and I am hoping to avoid the karaoke as this seems to be a big issue over here. They have a karaoke machine in the office, can you believe that. Well let’s hope for the best and more news to follow

Aussie Pub and other weekend amusements
Well good news Aussie's pub are non-smoking, very nice however the prices for the drinks are as high as home. Which does not stop people to get drunk anyway. Well my co-workers just had a few drinks as I guess they wanted to show themselfs from their best side. So no drunken aussies in our group. After the pub some dinner and then I even got a lift home what a service.
On Saturday my nice and lovely Art-Freak co-worker showed me around Sydney's modern art museum and I must say some of the arts were really creepy and weird. One artist just hanged a death horse from the celling, kind of showing the imobility of the italian political movement in the 70's. Gosh what excuse to justify such a horrible sight. Poor horse. I am really an art ignorant not getting the message right. After this more or less interesting tour we really needed a nice food break.
Sunday was newspaper day (the Sunday paper must weight at least one kilo over her) and some nice walking around following the river. Surely I enjoy myself however counting the days to be back again specially after having Sarah on the phone that night calling mami ....skype is cool
