ok....so sometimes i wish i could find something to hate about this place...it feels so unnatural to be taking evertything in my stride...and all of you who know me well understand what i mean! the last few days i feel ive really been settling in to day-to-day-life here....after returning from Japan, i finally felt settled...which feels amazing, and im happy just ticking along with very little drama...i wont lie...i mean.....as ive said before, here is no different to home, and theres situations that are sent to find the weak from the strong, but overall....i am so lucky that i have a good and solid group of friends who are there to catch each other if we fall. it amazes me how close i have become to people here...and for it to happen so quickly too. so, past few days...not really been up to much...i climbed a mountain...well...drove up it and then climbed the last leg!...that was on sunday....neon....the guy from hollywood star, took me and abi up...the views were breathtaking.....unbelieveable.....the fact i wasnt sick that i was on something so high up was abit of a shock too! ive taken some pictures that i will post later...we went about 7pm so although it was good not to be boiling-my camera didnt like it at all.....they dont do it justice. went to my first proper public bath last night.....went with abi and amanda.....i wasnt convinced i would like it...and thought i might cry when we walked in and i saw naked people everywhere....i took a deep breath and got on with it though...and i was fine!!in fact...i loved it!!!im maybe gonna go again tonight.... so! as you can see....life has been rather boring as late, but ive really enjoyed the slow down...... im off now...i have a class in 10 minutes....got to prepare!...take care all of you...and please keep in touch...i love hearing from you.....xx
