Countdown..
It's the 11th of December, a long time since I last posted.
My tickets for Australia have been booked. I will be leaving here on the 16th of January, spending a couple of nights in Hong Kong en-route. I have a job lined up over there in Central North New South Wales for a agricultural contractor. Due to start early February, and staying on till the End of May for now. Sophie, my girlfriend, is due to fly out around about then, so we can do some travelling together.
My friend Chris is over in Sydney at the moment, so it will be good meeting up with him for the first week or so. Besides that, I haven't much of a plan.
What am I doing currently with my life? Well since really not enjoying my "proper" job, I have worked the harvest here in Scotland, living with my mum and dad here in Fife. In the meantime my flat in Aberdeen has been sold, although I travel up there occasionally to see my friends and play hockey. It's difficult saving money.. that's one lesson I've learnt. And it takes a long time to pay off debt accumulated as a student..
Finally, a big hello to my friends in Holland. Het was erg leuk om van jullie allemaal te horen via SMS. Ik hoop dat jullie deze website vinden en in contact te bleiven. Ik kan dan ook een beetje m'n Nederlands oefenen, want het te schrijven word steeds moeilijker. Als ik terug kom uit Australie, zal ik echt heel hard proberen om even over the vliegen en met jullie effe een paar biertjes te drinken.
Allerbeste Groeten,
Jan
