Singapore

Goodbye Australia, Bonjour France!

sunny 27 °C

For the second time in less than a year, I sit here in the Singapore Airport typing away on their graciously provided free internet terminals.

However, no peanut butter sandwich this time. A. I am still sick from the "food" they gave us on the plane, and B. well, Aussieland has it's fair share of my favorite afternoon treat.

But yes, I digress, I am on my way to France! I still can't even believe it. I never thought when I began this trip that I would end up flying in to Barcelona International by end of Februrary. On the - get this- exact date I flew there 3 years ago. I guess Europe truly does call my name.

Sadly, I am leaving Australia earlier than planned. I will miss their beautiful weather and friendly faces. The 117 degree weather days and the "g'day mates", and "goodonyas" of yester-year. (is that two words?)

I will, however, NOT miss their complete lack of toilets. I mean seriously, not even cafes that serve tea and coffee can give ya a restroom?! And perhaps the slight oversight that Australians do not have half-size feet. Apparently everyone is a size 8 shoe or 9, born to perfection.

So 15 hours from now, I am due to arrive in Barcelona, God willing. Then it's off to Carcassonne to apprendre le francais and meet the lovely Caizergues famille. I truly couldn't be more excited. Je suis tres contente!

I promise that with free internet galore, I will be writing more often yet again. And I hope to post some old and new pictures very soon.

Until then, a bientot! et bisous from Asia,
Cristina

Not much to report yet but the internet is free and - thank heaven - they have peanut butter. I think I'm going to like this place...

love,
