Perth

My 30-hour trip is over, or let's say my 7200-hour trip has started. After 10-hour super comfort flight to Singapore watching "Stilyagi", 10-hour working time in Singapore and another 5-hour flight of almost RyanAir standard I landed in Perth, Western Australia.

As Andriy says, people from here like to say they are from WA, as it's so far from everything else. Perth is probably the most isolated city on Earth. As one captain said "It's the worst damned hole...". And quite expensive one due to mining and other nice businesses around :)

On the very first evening I have met 5 new people with an interesting mix. And uncovered "Sweet bomb" term, which I will keep in a secret till the very end of the trip :) So, the apartment with pool is being shared by Vadik, Andiy's brother, who is serious about Track&Field with five pairs of running shoes hanging on the wall; Colm - Irish guy from Tyrone, who moved to Perth two weeks ago as an architect and already managed to find a Gaelic team here; and Kirsty - australian girl with mix of chinese and british, working as physio and complaining about income :) And of course, Andriy and Fiona, who picked me up from the airport.

After a good sleep and long-waited shower we went driving around the town. Andriy showed me their old house, small brewery "Little creatures", King's park with a 750-year old Boab, the beach and much more. I liked that animals are not afraid of people, and in the middle of the country it should be even better :) And water in the port is good enough to see someone's long-waited luggage :)

Tomorrow we fly to Adelaide. But there is still some time pastry today in Perth!
