Beep… beep… beep... The ECG monitors broadcast their electronic heart beats as I walk down the corridor of the Cardiac Unit.  Each beep represents a heart beat.  I’m struck by the irony - life reflected in soulless monotone.  As I pass each room, the acrid smell of iodine, inf…

Someone on Facebook posted this as a note, and I thought it was pretty hilarious, so I've copied it here. For those of you who don't know, the Australian government are going to introduce a test that will be mandatory for people applying for citizenship. It'll have questions like, "What is the …

Pubs and Bars in MelbourneAs with the off-the-main street charming cafes, nice pubs and bars in Melbourne is hidden in between the city's concrete blocks.

Its finally here, my last day in Melbourne. So sad. It wasn't a very exciting day. We just packed up all my stuff, which turned out to be a pretty big challenge. I should have stored more shit in Sydney, my bad. After Donna and Zippy got back we went out for dinner at the Edinburgh Hotel, which w…

I was in tears, physically and emotionally, while counting my last few hours in a country that made me see a world where dreams come true. Yes, more than Disneyland can! I will be missing Australia. But I promise, coming back will definitely be on my priority list of future travel plans. Goodbye, A…

I needed to slowly make my way back to Sydney so I booked myself on the oz experience bus from Melbourne to Sydney. I thought the oz experience would simply be a form of transport to jump on and off at places but on this particular route it seemed much more like a tour. This turned out to be a good…
