At World's end

G'day mates! 

It was about time to update this blog! 

I know it's been a long time...a reeeeeally long time and a lot has happened in this past year and a half. 

Let's start from where I last left off! 

After having quite a few boring days, followed by busy and worried ones trying to get ready for the last Uni exams and at the same time writing my very much hated but very much loved thesis, a 60-page long dissertation about Cockney rhyming slang (I should have chosen the Australian slang, retrospectively!), I finally managed to graduate. 

That was February though and, as you may have noticed, it's already January 2016 now. Aaand I have temporarily (maybe) moved to another continent, almost at the end of the world! 
I'm in BLOODY AUSTRALIA!

My very first Australian sunset on Cottesloe Beach, Western Australia

I left my beloved Valtellina on the 30th of April and landed in sunny Perth on the 1st of May. More than 8 months have already gone by and the adventures have been many..

There are so many interesting things that I've discovered during my stay about Australia and I'd like to share it with the world (yes, the entire world reads my blog, am I right?). 

Let's start with driving!!

When I first arrived I had to learn to drive on the left side(and probably wrong, but who can tell..). It may seem scary to some and I must admit that the first few minutes were somehow challenging: the only thing I could do was to constantly remind myself to keep left, as weird as that might sound to us right-hand side drivers. It's also quite weird to have the indicators on the right stalk and the windscreen wipers on the left one (unless you keep driving an European car!) and that was probably the most difficult thing to get used to, no joke.

Now, after several months of practice on both automatic and manual cars (ok, that happened just once but still..) I came to the SURPRISING conclusion that driving is just driving.

However, I still don't understand why we can't all drive on the same side, whichever that would be, but I found an insteresting article that tries to explain it.

Well, my dears, this was just a little post to get back into this blogging thing.

I'll be soon back with more aussie adventures.

Talk soon.

A smile,

Cami
