I am down

under. I made a friend on the plane. It was really funny because he was an aussie who was returning to Australia from Canada, after having spent 12 months there. So we were doing the same thing, except his trip was ending and mine was just beginning. Sixteen hours of flying and three airplane meals later, I was at Sydney airport bright and early in the morn. Except it was already 25 degrees celsius. I knew I was in for trouble in my jeans and black shirt. But thank goodness for air conditioning.

My cousin, his wife and their son were there to greet me. We drove back to their place. It's a 40 minute drive from the city, in a suburb called Greystanes. It's ridiculously hot but hopefully I'll adjust quickly. My aunt is already spoiling me with her delicious meals. Like mango daal....mmmm. Anyway, the weather has been fascinating. It's bright and sunny (35 degree) one minute and pouring rain with loud thunder the next. That is all for today. I'm being called to watch Madagascar with my cousins' kids. Tata.
