When I left, I only got to bring 3 suitcases with me and I allowed myseld to fill one with random stuff that was not necessary but I knew I'd like to have with me. One of those things is my book "Hello Cupcake!" that I got as a gift a few Christmases ago (Merci Nat!).

Around the world
What do you do with a ping-pong table, one ball and about 10-15 players? You can have a tournament where everyone waits for their turn, or you can play "Around the world" where everyone plays at once.
The rules go as follows:
That's it. Nothing too complicated and heaps more fun than waiting out your turn at a traditional ping-pong tournament.
The rules go as follows:
- Things have to keep moving, and each person gets one shot at hitting the ball before letting the next person take over.
- You have three chances to "loose" and then you are O-U-T.
- The last 2 players duel with a best 2 out of 3.
That's it. Nothing too complicated and heaps more fun than waiting out your turn at a traditional ping-pong tournament.

Happy Easter Bilby Day?
Right when I am starting to feel like Sydney is my second home again (I haven't gotten lost in over a month now) and I'm getting used to being in a different country (I can safely drive on the left side of road with my bike), I learn about new things that remind me I haven't been in the World of Oz for that long.
On Easter morning, as my boyfriend and I were sharing a Lindt chocolate bunny, I asked him if he ever thought it was weird to celebrate a holiday that is so much centered on the whole Jebus thing, and so re-birth, spring, bunnies, chicks, flowers, etc. while here, the days are getting shorter and colder because it's autumn. His answer: "I never really thought about it that way, but I guess that does explain the bunnies. I never really understood the bunny thing but it would make sense. We have Easter bilbies here instead". Me: "An Easter bilby? What's a bilby?"
