annwfynI'm in Australia.
*does the jet lagged dance*
The journey was surprisingly painful. I have come to the conclusion that I disagree withtwicedead* who said that London-Melbourne is hell, however you do it, and at least China Eastern are cheap. Cathay Pacific made SUCH a difference. Good food, stewardesses who spoke English, a selection of films and games available via the back of the headrest in front of you and a really plushy airport in Hong Kong really turned the journey from being HELL HELL HELL to instead being merely hellishly tiring.
We arrived (we being me,pierot, ksirafai, molez and castorlion on Thursday at 6 am. We got picked up by two nice local Cam people, and since then have been living in this weird world of jet lag. However, I have been able to see a lot of the lovely people I met last time, met some new folk (all of who know suchid. It appears that Liam has become the nexus of the role playing world somewhere along the line), and have already found myself shopping again. Melbourne is very bad for my bank balance. But I've got a gorgeous red silk top now.
Over the next week we're hopefully going to move beyond shopping, drinking, sleeping and meeting Australians and actually do some tourist stuff. I'm entirely behind on LJ, e mail and all forms of communication. So, is England still there? Has it been blown up by terrorists again? That always seems to happen when I leave the country.
What's your news? How are you doing?
*This is, of course, unusual, for Ben is usually the font of all wisdom. *nods nods nods*. Oh, and Ben - MattMatt has been radiating smugness for having listened to you ever since we got here and he pulled out an umbrella as it started raining while th rest of of simply collapsed into soggy heaps.

Date: 2006-04-25 03:50 am (UTC)I can see your logic tho. I just know that I'll always pay for a TV screen in the back of my seat in future! If nothing else, it means I don't feel like I wasted the time on the plane - I rather liked catching up on movies.
