2008

A big hello to all my friends out there! I’ve finally settled down in Gatton. I’ve been living without internet for the past few days. That kind of feeling is really terrible. I got a big culture shock when I first reached here.

Gatton is a very small town, with only one cab, afew round abouts… shops closes at 5pm here and the streets are empty on weekends. Cooked food are very ex over here. One KFC burger cost about 5 aussie dollars = $6.40. The best way to fill your stomach is to cook your own food. You won’t get lost in Gatton, because I don’t… if you think you’ve lost your direction, just keep going and you’ll find your way out.

Hm life here is very boring.. my only entertainment here is to visit the supermarkets. I think its good, I can focus more on studies then. Semester starts on 25 Feb, which is coming Monday.

We’ve been here for almost a week. My first four days were spent in our friends’ house at woodlands road. It’s 45 minutes walk to town. It’s really shack to walk to and fro during that period, cause we’ll don’t have any transport and the only way is to walk.

I’m staying on self catered campus hostel. Cook my own food, do my own washing… though life’s boring here, but time flies, cause I’m doing every thing myself… staying in sch is good. I’ve got a kitchen to do to my cooking, a common toliet and bathing area, my room is equiped with heater, bed and stuff. I don’t have to worry about electity and water bills.

It’s summer here now, but due to some climate change here, its hot and sunny during the day and gets freezing cold at night.

I’m getting use to the life here in Gatton. So not to worry about me. Everything is fine here
