Long time ago

Long time ago, my first few weeks in Echuca, I had no money at all. After paying accommodation, I had not enough cash to pay for key bond and rent the crockery. faint.




And at that time I didn't chat with other backpackers often. It's not good. I missed many good times I suppose.







But Laura was an exception. She made friends with almost every backpackers even only stayed in the hostel for one night.


As time past by, more and more people got in the hostel. It's a bit crowed I thought. But afterthought, it should be that way. Many people said coming to Australia is to experience and to meet people. I didn't understand that.

Slowly, I started to make friends with backpackers from other countries. I was not good at this, I am not, still.


I remembered I bought a sudoku puzzle book and tried to solve them all. Too difficult. So I decided to write a computer program to do it for me. Half success. The program can't solve some extremely hard sudoku. After that, I started to get busy at working so the program is left in the hard disc. Sorry!

Really nothing special at that period, until some guy who can say "Ni shi huai dan" came.

All photos in Tasmania uploaded

Hi, two days, I finally uploaded photos in Tasmania. I downsized all of them, alas!

I put photos in Echuca and in Tasmania into the same online album. Here it is(all albums).

Some albums more interesting:

20080412b Penguin

20080412d lunch near to Don River Railway

20080412f Sheffield

20080414b Lake St. Clair

20080418c Hazards beach

20080420g Ross Village Bakery

20080420i Accommodation Ros Caravan Park Units

Basically, I did it in the state library. There are so many people studying in it such that the internet access speed is extremely slow. Now I'm using a public free wifi in the federation square near to the Flinders Street Station. It's cold today but I wanna upload all photos. A bit tired.

Hope I still have energy and motivation to write some blogs and adjust my facebook. See ya.

PS. I uploaded too many photos. Though someone said a picture is worth one thousand words. Too many pictures lowers the average importance of all. Alas.

I worked for a long time in a tomato packing shed. Usually they don't wanna male packers. Luckily this packing shed allows several boys to work for them. Following are some friends I met there.
