Well, no job in Northern Queensland

Well, 8 days past and I can't find a job in Northern Queensland.

The temperature is about 15~25 degree in Cairns. It's about 6~20 degree in Brisbane. And there are more jobs in Southern Queensland.

(By the way, Perth is about 6~13. And I felt very cold there.)

So, what should I do? Fly to Brisbane. Hmm...wondering...I grew up in a hot island, I don't like coldness. :P

So many Japanese and Korean here in Cairns. Many shops and stores even only hire Japanese. Faint.

I'm in Cairns now

Hi, mates, I'm in Cairns now.

While working in the pig abattoir, I got sick. Too cold and hard work. On 7/12 back in Perth after one month work there. I caught a cold again. Maybe a flu. And it's raining, cold, and windy in Perth. I suffered! Couldn't get fully recovered in such an environment.

Pity. I gave up west coast. Monkey Mia, Broome, etc...

And airplane ticket to Darwin is expensive. So I skip Northern Territory. What the fxxk.

Anyway, I'm in Cairns now. Although it's raining and windy, but it's much warmer. Actually, it's hot here. I like it.

I know that I have many blog topics not published yet. Including road trip from Adelaide to Perth, and the working life in the pig abattoir. Well, maybe later, maybe...

My current plan is:
1. sightseeing in Cairns
2. go Bowen, get a job there.
3. sightseeing through east coast to Brisbane.
4. go to Sydney, then home.

Any question? please comment or email me.

Maybe I will become a pig slaughter

Today, I went to a pig abattoir. A remote place from Perth city. I had to take a train about 30 minutes, then take a bus about 30 minutes. Then guess what? I needed to call someone in the factory to pick me up. And from the bus terminal to the factory takes another 20 minutes. Faint.



The boss is pretty nice. Guided us(me and another lady) through many documents and forms needed to be filled, introduced us to walk through the line of pig abattoir. Mind you, pretty bloody! A guy told me there are more than two hundred workers. Wow, sounds big, isn't it? Then we went to a medical center to do medical test, wow again, pretty rigor and professional.

Tomorrow the abattoir and I will decide whether I can get this job or not. If all things would go well, I suppose that you ladies and gentlemen could not see any blogs from the date that I move to the sharehouse right near to the abattoir(maybe on Thursday).


(I'm just merely a pig slaughter.)
(PS, sorry, this joke can only be understood by Taiwanese or one ever watched the movie 凌凌漆大戰金鎗客 from HongKong.)

Need to save some money, huh.
