Goodbye New Zealand, Hello New Adventures

Ugh, how do I choose a title for this post that isn't ridiculously cheesy and embarrassing? Anyway, I just arrived in Sydney and am currently sitting at my gate for the Dubai flight, with 2 and a half hours to spare before boarding commences. At this point the whole concept of my moving overseas still feels unreal! I honestly just feel like I'm taking a brief holiday alone and will be back in 2 weeks or something.

I've had next to no trouble navigating through Customs and immigration etc. However, Dubai airport is massive in comparison to Sydney, so we'll see how that fares. So far, I feel really calm and relaxed about all the travel ahead. And do I spy a massage chair to my right? Yes, yes I do. A fine way to waste my Australian money, since I'm not hungry or thirsty, nor aching for any kangaroo magnets or other souvenirs.

 Lol, on the plane I was beside a middle-aged French couple and I kept trying to eavesdrop on their conversation...besides that, I watched a Louis Theroux documentary about transgender kids, He Named Me Malala, and listened to Britten's Violin Concerto, movement 2. How cultured, (and how idiotic) do I sound right now? Well, what else do I even talk about? Not much has happened yet. It's so weird thinking that I won't see Mum, Dad, Erin or Sops for a while. At this point I'm not sure how long it will be, but I think the fam will come over and visit me sometime this year, which will be cute.

Until next time...

    1. Yes it is! As I have gone vegan this year I will most definitely need to be cooking myself. Eating out is both expensive and rarely vegan-friendly. Supermarkets are massive, with huge variety and lots of exotic foods.
