1 week in. Things are good.
After a week tomorrow things here in Oz are going well. The wife has scored a job as a dental assistant. I have 2 jobs on offer. Got to meet a guy tomorrow and discuss one. The other is a start on Monday. So either way i'm covered. Still staying with a mate but we are looking for an apartment. The missus is enjoying Sydney. After living in Bangkok for years, she is blown away by how beautiful Sydney is. So ye, a week in and alls good. The missus is happy so easy for me. BTW i have never seen so many mullets in one place in all my life.
