Delaqroux (finally) Live in OZ

Delaqroux Inc Updates

and yes,

LIVE in New South Wales, Australia!!!!

So yep, i am currently in MUV short for MacQuarie University Village. And if there's one thing people have been assuming about Australia is Australia being hot in this time of year right? Well, now that i'm here ready to give you a first hand updates live on the scene, allow me to tell you that here in New South Wales, Australia, it is friggin COLD! Seriously! Freezing! And not just that, the weather here is extreme. Neither extreme hot or cold but rather extremely unpredictable. Imagine, it can go hot, cold, rainy, misty, drizzly, stormy all in just one day! And by the time i'm writing this blog, the weather at the moment is 20 degrees (yesterday dropped to 17 degrees) and i'm (as well as the weather forecaster last night) is expecting stormy weather today. And earlier this morn, it was bright sunlight with temperature of 19 degrees. Yep, wtf.

Aside to that, our accomodation is okay. The word that went around was right that we live in a house of five with five seperate bedrooms and five bathroom respectively. By the time we arrive in the accomodation, it was mighty cold inside (who left the fridge open?) and we were on the search for the air conditioning switch to turn the air-cond off. Nope, there is none. The whole house is strictly chilled by the outside air coming in thru the windows and yeah, it already felt like genting inside the house. Well, as cold as it can be, my room is okay. Pretty comfy and yeah, i actually enjoyed the chill air... eventhough i have no blanket to tuck in at night.... and... yeah... i shivered like a recliner chair every morning... heheh... Regardless, the people around here consist mostly of people from all over the place and most of them are Asians originating from Korea, Japan, China and few other places around the Middle East. There are some Australians obviously and they are pretty nice bunch. Even had this one guy passing by us in a car, laughing at me and Shen-Ann when they saw us walking in the rain... yeah, very nice of them... I admire their hospitality. But, nope, really; they are friendly lots that wouldnt mind a chat with you even if you're just smiling at them.

And if you're next question will be "how is Sydney?", i'm afraid i cant provide the update to that yet coz we havent been there. Yep, seriously. MacQuarie University in Sydney is NOT located in Sydney but rather, miles away from Sydney. We did passed by Sydney on the way here and the city looked awesome. I expecting to receive some travelling coupons by next week and that will provide us with some discounts on travels so yeah, guess next week will be a serious outing week. Regardless by this time, it's all MacQuarie and the MAcQuarie centre, a mall north (well, yeah... i think it's up north) from here which took 30 minutes of our lives everytime we travel to the place (on foot. Taking a taxi or a bus is a bigger bummer as the travelling expenses here can be pretty expensive)

So until then, this is DarkDelaqroux, signing temporarily off Delaqroux Inc Updates Live in OZ and i'll catch you again soon. Cheers!
