MY TRAVEL PLAN

Since 11/16, I am free acturally.
As I mentioned before, I went to visit some places around Victoria.
And for the coming vacation, I will have more intensive plan~
I hope I can handle them all smoothly~ :P
.
1. 11/30 - Great Australian Run
It is a charity activity~
All participatants will run in the Melbourne city for 15 kms.
It is a little bit expensive, and it costs me 70 AUD, around 1500 NTD.
I always want to do it since I stayed in Germany.
Although it is not so hard for some friends who always join the Marathon(42 kms) and hal-Marathon (21kms).
But I need to wake up really early and start to run on 8:30 am.
Oh my god... It is really tough for me...
I hope I will not fall into sleep when I run on the road!
.
2. 12/2~12/9 Alice Springs (Urulu)
I will fly to there after the running~
I hope I will not dry there... XD
I did worry about it la!
But outback always be my favorite sites in the world.
I think I will have a good experience there~
It's so exciting! I will sleep in the dessert under the stars again.
However, I also heard there are some scorpions in the dessert.
I hope they know that I am not delicious for them. = =
.
3. 12/11~12/26 Volunteer - taking care wallabies (Mid of Queensland) Australia is really a smart country.
They know there are many youngers who want to become a volunteer.
So it is really expensive to be a "volunteer" in Australia.
Please do not ask me how much I will be compensated from the oraganization.
I will only need to pay 20 AUD per day for the accomodation and food.
I really think it is a good deal~
Hope I will have a great X'mas with those animals....
It will be a really special experience I think XD
.
4. 12/26~12/31 Bridbane and Queensland
Hey~ I finally can visit the capital of the sunshine state - Queensland.
After the baby Sitter of wallaby, I will go south from Rockhampton to Brisbane.
Then, stay there for 4 days to enjoy the sunshine there~
I hope the flood which will not affect my plan....
It sounds quite serious recently in Australia.
.
5. 12/31~1/1/2009 Sydney
Last year, I remember I made a wish in Venice with Mary and Bredan.
I said I hope to wait for the new year in Sydney in the end of 2008.
It seems the dream will come true if everything goes well. :)
Maybe I should start to think the wish for the next year.
.
And I will take the Greyhaund in the midnoon on 12/30 from Brisbane, then, I will arrive Sydney in the afternoon of 12/31.
The hostel price in Sydney is going crazy for those days.
It will be better to avoid live there at all.
After celebrating the new year, I will take a flight at 8:00 pm on 1/1 to Tasmania.
So exciting! right?!
.
6. 1/1~1/21 Tasmania - Helper Exchange

Tasmania Devil~ the shy and cute animal in Tasmania

I will do the helper exchange in Tasmania.

Tasmania is the smallest state in Australia, and it is only twice bigger than Taiwan.

But people said there is the best and significant nauture in Australia.

I think it will be worth to take the 3 more weeks there :P

.

The first helper, I need to be a chef cookign for a family from 1/1 to 1/6.

Then, from 1/6 to 1/16, I will work in a farm, and I need to walk for 8 kms(go and back) to the working place.

There are really interesting to live in these two places.

The first one, the family is a fan of Chinese culture.

I will try my best to show them the Taiwanese one too.

And the second one, the farm is without eletricity, and I need to bring the flash light to there...

How incredible! Ha~ Ha~

.

After 1/16, I will drive to visit Tasmania for 5 days, then go back to Melbourne on 1/21.

When I come back from Melbourne, I will live with one Japanese, Chinese, and Malaysian friends seperately.

My flight to go back to Asia will be on 1/29.

The last week in Melbourne, I will try to keep the last memory of the eight months (in sum) home ~

The last place I visite in this trip will be Singapore~

THEN, my sweet Taiwan! I will come back la !!!

This trip will be the last vacation in my student life.

I have to face the real world in the coming future~

Oh... I really hope I can keep this situation forever, but it is impossible.

Das ist Leben. :)

I can only accept it.
The most important point is that I need to make the trip valuable!!
