The Plan

The end of my time here is coming faster than Japan's public transport. As always, I'm totally disorganised. Denial is a very useful coping mechanism.
One thing making the whole blurred process of speeches, flight arrangements, packages, selling, emotional goodbyes and enkais less overwelming is being excited about the next adventure- Australia! Me and Sarah-chan have decided to put off the inevitable going home and having a real life process by being scummy backpackers in Oz for a while. I've actualy wanted to so this for years, it looks bloody fun trekking across the country and seeing all the sights. Plus one of my best pals from uni, the lovely Nat is living in Sydney at the moment so I'm going to start my trip by staying with her and her fab boyf Ken for a bit (while Sarah goes home to see her family-wish I could do this but I can't afford the flights there and back) Yosh! Hope we can recreate our uni days of watching soaps in our pgyamas and dissecting evey aspect of our loves to the nth degree ^_^

Heres me and Nat when she came to Japan last year.
Luckily for British me I can work over there-casual stuff like bar work and fruit picking to finance the partying. I plan to stay anything from 5 months to a year, depending on cash and how much fun it is. I reckon Sarah wil be a mint travel companion as shes a) more sensible than me without being a killjoy "no kat you dont need to have that 12th beer..." b) up for doing mad stuff and c) will happily talk to strangers. I hope to provide energy and good ipod mixes to the partnership ^_~ In Oz I am looking forward to the following:
1. Clubs and pubs
2. Everyone speaking English
3. Nice weather
4. Mint shopping
5. Beautiful scenery
6. Nice beaches
7. The Neighbours set!!!!!!!!! (quite tragic. i bloody love Neighbours)
8. Big selection of food
9. Not having a propher job
10. Meeting loads of amd randoms
11. Gigs
12. Telling people I used to live in Japan!
