Last week, my brother graciously offered to catalog all of my Aussie e-mails
on a Web page, and he just informed me that Netsurfer Digest, the magazine
he works for, has a write-up on them! Go to:

http://www.netsurf.com/nsd/

Look under the Online Travel section and you'll see it. It's also a good place to
go if you didn't catch my first few e-mails and need to get up to speed.

Thanks for all the feedback. I spent $2.50 downloading it all. The best
feedback was probably my mother's, who suggested that I do all my traveling
and touring now and decide afterwards, after seeing everything, if and where
I should settle down for the longer term.

I quit my job this morning. Robert, my boss, seemed to take it pretty well.
The last three backpackers he hired all flaked out on him after a few days,
so I felt kinda bad doing it to him again. I thought he would blow up and
start throwing shit around, but he was pretty cool. He actually smiled.
Either he was actually glad to get rid of my passive ass or he was doing his
best to keep a lid on the rage boiling up inside.

My next job is to start looking at tours and bus fares up and down the east
coast and finding a package that fits my budget and time frame. Felicia has
a friend who works at a travel agency, and she said that it might be a good
idea to go see him so that I don't get screwed around. I'll probably stick
around Sydney till this weekend so I can join Owen and the gang for karaoke
Friday night.

I did some more exploring in King's Cross this afternoon, walking down
Roslyn St. I was offered drugs 3 times in 50 yards.

Troy: Reserve #2 for me.

Until next time,

Jeff
