A few pictures of my desk at work, nothing special here. The box on the left is the mail and VPN server I helped setup but I think that will be moved into the other server room soon.


Maybe I'll take some more later of the other rooms and people but a small cozy place with friendly people.

Here are a few pictures from Australia Day on Jan 26th. Hanged in park for afternoon and saw some volleybal and dirtbike jumpers. And then at night we saw the fireworks. The fireworks were amazing, I would have like to have been closer but we went back near my friends place to watch. Fireworks were set off from a barge in the water and off the rooftops.


The little gathering at Teele's house for her boyfriend Chris's birthday. The usual gang of friends, family and backpackers.



Took my friend Christine to see her first baseball game and it was an international series of Australia versus Taiwan I believe. It was a great night until the pouring rain came. Had a great time and for once didn't feel like a stranger over here since I actually understood the game and had to explain it to her.

Well everybody there isn't too much to add. I've been in Perth for the past 3 weeks working fulltime as a system admin for a call center company. It looks like they will sponsor me to stay over here for a couple years and then at that time I can decide to become a citizen and stay or leave I guess. All depends on how I fall into life over here with work, friends and maybe a girlfriend down the road.
Perth is a nice city on the west coast and away from the busy east coast. Sunny all the time but only draw back is the isolation. I think I will enjoy it here but will def go out east a few times a year at least to see friends. I think thou that after a couple years out here I'd go east for next job unless I of course settle in here too well.

I will definitely be coming home at some point this year to see friends and family. But haven't decided when but I hope to see all of you that I can.

I'll post a few pics in a sec since I got here but not done too much but we are going to an AFL game next weekend so I can tell you all about that afterwards.

bye for now
