Lambfish on tour around the world: Mai 2011

I'm Living at Natalies and her flatmates house. It's coming autumn into Australia but it is still nice and warm.

Update Mai 1, 2011: I have been in Sydney for 4 weeks. A lot happend during this time. I didn't come as a lazy tourist, I searched for work. But what can a Swiss guy do? First I had a big book with a lot of phone numbers for garden work, moving and other companies in it. So I called each number in the book. Some of the guys took my number some just had nothing for me. A girl in a moving company told me she may has something for me. I was searching for days without any outcome. I got depressed! I walked around and asked every Pub for a job as a kitchenhand or a glass collecter. A guy in a pub told me he will call me soon. Than it happend! I got a job as a flyer distributor. After a couple of days I was tired. I walked around 100km in 5 days. Then I got paid for the first time, (cash in hand) my boss gave me 100 dollars. I felt like a piece of shit! But than the guy from the pub (John) called me and got me a job as a kitchen hand and BBQ man. So I started in the pub where I still work and make good money. Also the girl from the moving company called me and gave me a job. I had to move furniture and other stuff. Once I got a free leather jacket for 400 Dollars as I was moving clothes. My days are quite busy now. But in two weeks I leave Australia and move on to Singapore. There I start my trip through Asia for two months. I need holidays!!!

Flyer job, afer 7 times flyer distributing I quit the job :-) I lost 2 kilos, once I toppled on the ground because there was a hole in the ground and some dogs barked at me. On this pic you can see a good letterbox with 100 single boxes, I like that! Mostly I threw a lot of the flyers in a bin and went for a coffee :-) don't tell my boss.

The Forresters Pub I work for

John and Mark on a busy friday over lunchtime

What a steak! I mostly eat one steak per shift for free :-)

I stopped counting how many kilos of potatoes I peeled.

Sometimes when I was outside the pub and grilling sausages I watched the girls passing by ;-)

On my birthday Natalie made me an apple cake.

Natalie and I went north to her mothers house. Nearby there were some Kangaroos on the field.

They are not shy and I could touch them

Hiking in the Royal National Park 30km south of Sydney

Dangerous cliffs! I told Natalie it's okay to go till the end of the rock, no worries it's safe ;-)

Natalie it's not always a competition! But for sure I jumped much higher than u :-)

ANZAC day (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) Every year the people think back to their mates who died in the wars. It's a big day for everybody. All over are parades and other services. I got up at 5 am for that!

But after the parades people start to drink and play Two-up is a traditional Australian gambling game, involving a designated 'Spinner' throwing two or three coins into the air. Players gamble on whether the coins will fall with both heads up, both tails up, or with one coin a head, and one a tail. It is traditionally played on ANZAC Day in pubs and clubs throughout Australia. Only allowed on this day. I lost 50 Dollars but we played the whole day and had so much fun.
