weather

im tryin not to be original and so i start talkin about weather.

01.12.2008 started summer. summer means heat. summer means rain and lightning too. thats how it usually is: sun rises so early that i dont know when but @6 its already light enough to walk around without stepping on the cat. temperature >=20C morning comes with sunshine and sunshine works fast for ~11 it gets too hot for mammals & so it stays until sun hides away. often it gets cloudy afternoon and starts raining when darkness comes (darkness comes between 6&7). after it gets cloudy it often starts raining. after it starts raining (or on same time (or even llittle before)) it often starts lightning. Alltogether quite neatly organized. rains at night, suns at day. to escape daytime heat there is airconditioning like ac on the wall or propeller in ceiling or shady benches on boardwalk and there is waterconditioning like cold shower or ,the beach’. ’the beach’ doesnt include dicaprio it is just big decorated open air and free access pool next to the river and in middle of the city.


days

days are passin, i’m sure u have noticed that phenomena. but my days here r different than before so let me tell u how many of my days are made like.

my new mobile phone from singapore has fascinating function - alarm. so every day 6:55 it sings me a song (5nizza – big bada boom). quick coffee and somethin sweet (like gingernut cookies :P) and i then i take my bike and then i bike to kangaroo point (kp). kp is one reason why i happened to brisbane so i have to write some sentences about it:


en.wikipedia.org: kp is located on a peninsula formed of harder rhyolite rock which the Brisbane River flows around it is a popular recreation spot, conveniently close to the city... www.climb.org.au: The ultimate urban training ground...Real rock at a reasonable height, right near the heart of the CBD. There are concrete bollards at the top of the cliff for top rope anchors. Taps, BBQ's and toilets close by. Bright lights along the base of the cliff also make night climbing possible.

show me more convenient natural climbingplace in the world and i’ll give u something good.


from my house it takes ~15 minutes to bike there and second half of the road follows pleasant boardwalk next to the brisbane river. its smart to get there early to miss the sun. i’m not very smart so i get there after 8 when its already warm. so far i’m lonely ranger so bouldering is my choice. there are other climbers in brisbane and no wonder they also sometimes come there so it happens I can also do real climbing from time2time. there are some nice indoor places also in brisbane but about these I’ll write later... and then it gets too hot and i go to swim. ’the beach’ is between kp and my home so i have to swim there after climbing, its enjoyable in the mornings. in weekends or afternoons its not nice to swim there – very crowded it gets.

then im back home and i eat and then i go to library. library is very friendly place. it has lot of books and stuff and nice places to sit and nice views to view and its cool (ac!). in library i work with my computer. they close library 1800 so then i must go back home and eat. and then i watch some film and/or work more with computer.

such a nice days....

going (or just one more way how to get to oz)

...

My route was going to be:
tallinn-riga (bus), riga-istanbul, intermission@turkey, istanbul-doha-singapore, shopping, singapore-darwin (sightseeing), darwin-brisbane.

last day of october was my last day @work and first day of my journey towards the big island. ecoline bus (thanx to imbi and ints!) rode me to midnight riga. airbaltic decided to postpone me flight so instead of airport i met couchsurfer nauris – skinhead looking art student&cockroachkeeper (remark: he had 4 big roaches all called bruce willis) - who provided me prime necessities: bed and roof and alternnative spot@riga oldtown for helloing halloween – thanx nauris. Morning came and plane took me to istanbul. and there was G.













Turkey


G is the She. the most wonderful girl in the world. we hugged and we kissed and we went to taxim and we met this german guy whose name i’ve forgotten and we had lunch and G’s things and bus2antalya and bus2olympos and then it was sunday 21108. &me&G were @olympos in nice double room for us for whole 1 week. now if u think we had good time then u r not completely right – we had much better time. we even found time to climb (i think i made my first 6c route there in new sector which name i dont remember) and swim..... people, people, go to olympos in november even if u cant take double its just best time imho. probably it was friday when we hitched 2antalya. there was concert by the only known for science turkish littlebit skaband ’athena’. our friend eray got us free tickets (thanx eray for tickets and for roof!) and athena played for us and next morning us went back 2mountains. then new Sunday came and we hithchiked back2antalya&bussed forth2ankara. there i could once more see odty - my alma mater from past. nb! they have tightened security so it needs more talking to get through the gates. monday evening came&gave to the world one more nice dinner@Ege’splace. i made my first cooking attempt over years that resulted in eatable apple pie and G created her usual „i’dont know what i did“ delicious cooking and there was Raimund who somehow didnt cook anything. and there was one black girl who has almost the same koss earphones as me only hers a little bit cooler looking. morning=bus2istanbul and despite emotions and abstemious resistance from metro, security and airline checkin workers I reached onto plane and She was gone again. or i. or us.












flight


Qatar airways is good, even considering circumstances it was still positive, yes! fly it! I say (i should come back with it to get even better associations). in addition to neat airline quatar has also capital, they call it doha and doha has nicer airport than tallinn - new as a fresh milk. met some estonian guys there who were also on thei way to rooland just via different ports
next stop singapore. do you also think that in singapore you get best prices for electronics on our planet? somehow I had this idea. Well, its not true. some things u can get cheap but mostly not, especially newest stuff and u must always search and bargain and then do it again and again and then you’ll see. Anyhow, thats what i think now – one camera lens and mobile phone later. Then I changed my leftover sgd’s into aud’s and...welcome to jetstar flight jq62













oz


jetstar has nothing to do with qatar so bring everything with u, like for quilt, to keep from hypothermia, they wanted lotsa $ i dont know how much, how should i remember i didnt pay it. darwin – merry christmas - first corner of oz, hot as a hell and everybody prepares for santa. small airport is full of sleepers when u arrive 6am and temperature outside is already nasty. I hitchike to town get lift from local climber who drives me to local climbing spot created into ww2 time oiltank – closed. open is nearby park where some bumps r consuming ganja&beer&try to fight with no effect, porbably its too hot for such action, I pass. walk to center instead – nothing. Empty straight streets with occasional 4x4 trucks and backpackers, aboriginals loitering in shade, drinkin something.

temperature is busy with getting bigger and kicks in – not very describable. I go2beach – empty. signs say: swim not! evil jellyfish will kill u, locals say: crocodiles will kill u too. I will not swim, i just touch pacific it looks dirty and feels way too hot... i think i understand jelly&croco met german girl @beach who works in darwin and we talk and watch how sun plops into the big sea.

She gives me ride to town – another thanx. beer @busy backpackers hostel and back to airport. quantas (basicaly same company as jetstar just jetstar should be lowfare brand – i dont notice any difference except quantas has older plane, national flight ) brings me to brisbane. Airport is bigger, temperature is almost estonian. I take train, i take bus, i walk, i am @small house – my home.

remark1

and one more thing before there will be story

the beginning

yo!

just because some people have been asking and some other people have been doing and some time i have been having - so why not to do little blogging

ahjaa ja inglise keeles vist saab see olema - mul on rohkem tuttavaid kes ei viitsi eesti keelt õppida kui neid teisi (teised võivad seda komplimendiks võtta ja külmkappi panna) utilitarism ruulib

niisiis, lugu sellest kuda ma austraaliasse läksin

so me went to oz...
