25 October 2008I’m back in Launceston, but only for the weekend. Right now I am sitting on the UTAS campus and wait for the last part of my IELTS English test, which is part of my visa application. I just finished the listening, reading and writing parts and now I have about two hours until the speaking …
19 July 2008Six months have passed since I left Germany, time for a small review of my time in Australia so far.
On 19 January I arrived in Melbourne together with eight friends from all over Germany. We had never met before but we all booked the same travel package and thus had the same flight and hostel. …
9 July 2008And now for something completely different: when I’m not in the forests I usually spend a lot of time with my MacBook. When people ask me what I’m actually doing I always say “computer work”. To prove that this is true and I’m not just wasting my time on facebook (like many others): check out …
7 July 2008There’s not much to tell right now. I am still planting trees in Launceston. A few weeks ago I decided to leave Tasmania by the end of July and booked a flight to Sydney for 3 August. But I’m currently not sure whether I will actually take that flight or not, my situation is pretty …
8 June 2008After months without new photos I finally added two new picture galleries. Sebastian left Launceston this weekend, but before he left he met me at the Arthouse and we sorted his photo collection on my MacBook. He had some photos of Launceston and from work, so I added a gallery with miscellaneous pictures of Launceston …
8 June 2008The last few days were probably the best I had so far since I joined the treeplanters. It is winter in Tasmania, but the sun was shining every day this week, so bright and hot it felt like summer.
The work was great too. We had excellent working conditions on Monday and I managed to improve …
1 June 2008I haven’t bought an iPhone yet, because the new 3G version is about to be released in the next couple of weeks, and it will also be officially introduced in Australia as well, so I won’t need to import it from the US anymore. As my plans are to stay in Australia, I’m currently thinking …
31 May 2008From now on I’ll try to write in English and I translated the rest of the website as well, excluding previous posts. I reckon there are more Germans that are able to understand English than Australians who understand German, so it’s just a gesture of friendship to my Aussie mates. I feel sorry for Sven, …
10 May 2008Wer sich schonmal gefragt hat wieso mein Hostel “Arthouse” heisst, hier die Antwort: es liegt sozusagen im Kunstbezirk Tasmaniens, in Reichweite zur Academy of the Arts der Universität Tasmaniens. Hier kann man zum einen Kunst studieren, zum anderen gibts immer wieder erstaunlich interessante Ausstellungen.
In meinem Treeplanting-Team arbeiten einige Künstler, die hauptberuflich Kunst studieren oder mit …
7 May 2008Hey! Mich gibts noch, auch wenn es manche Leute wohl nicht glauben und mir deshalb alle 2 Tage Nachrichten schicken, in der Hoffnung, ich schreibe zurück. Mein Computer nervt mich (hat nichts mit Apple zu tun MBA rockt), ich kann mich aber noch überwinden, zumindest meine mails ab und zu abzurufen und mir auf spiegel.de …
