No longer homeless!

My Aussie experiences just keep getting better and better. Today teens and I signed our lease to our new apartment. A two bedroom beach front cute apartment couldn’t have been more perfect. I cannot tell you how relieved and excited I am to move in. We get the keys Friday and soon after I will be posting pics for sure!

We also had our first big night on the town. We had our first taste of Aus beer and saw a movie (lame I know) J Bridesmaids was hilarious beyond belief but what was better was the seating. For just 11$ I got better seating than my Air China flight! Spacious and you get to select your seats ahead of time. It really was the perfect movie experience. Kristina lost one of her contacts in the movie so I had to escort her home safely, and of course I executed this task to a tee.

Other than literally being blown away me and Kristina have managed to break the law and get away with it! We were paying student fairs for transit and got stopped by Aus police, [really not the worst thing in the world ;) ]. Apparently unless we are Australian citizens we have to pay full price L Kristina also opened a bag of candy in target while we were shopping for bedding and decided they tasted gross so she put them back and we had to make a run for it. Candy here is weird so it was a very legit move on her behalf. Basically all in all we are some bad ass Canadians always in a run from the law. Except not really that exciting….
Both of us are super excited to get our new place , so much so that we hit up the closest reject store (its actually called that, kind of like liquidation world) to check our the finest home decorations ;) We really are on a tight budget, even the reject store is more expensive than Ikea back home.

Anyways we enjoyed breaky in South Yarra in a cool part of town after signing the lease with our agent this morning and made sure to call the parents to have them wire us more money since our first months rent and deposit basically drained our accounts.
Next update will be from St.Kilda, 8/16 Marine Parade right on the beach. 

This is all for now. xo xo Aussie girl

  1. Congrats PL and Teen!
    I knew it would all work out; much better than living in a room full of stinky roommates!
    I can't WAIT to see pictures of your new place! Eee I bet it's beautiful :)
    Your stories are hilarious Paul.

    Take care!
