Bachelor theses start
Hi everyone,
We both have started reading heaps of articles, reports, journals,… concerning our topics for our Bachelor theses last week.
I didn’t know that I am able to read that much stuff in such a short time J. We also had our first meeting about how to structure and start our work. This was really too much information at once!
I will start my work within the organisation probably next week, or the week after that. First I have to come up with kind of a training plan…
Anyway, we will see how it will go on.

Found a place to stay!
Hey everyone,
At the weekend we found a place to stay. It is a room within a 6 floor high student’s accommodation. We have two beds (which we put together) a nice desk, a small basin and lots of space in the cupboard to put in our few things we have here.
We are sharing the kitchen and the bathroom with the other students (all Asian), but we think it is ok.
It is located only 2km east of the CBD and about 4 km away from Uni. The suburb is called Rose Park and is pretty nice!
Here are two small pictures of room.
100 years of hostelling
Hey all,
guess what great news there is ... Hostelling has turned 100 years 🙂
For this reason we had a great, free dinner yesterday! They had chicken, rice, salad, noodles, cake and loads of more stuff. But it's not just been a dinner. At the beginning there were drummers presenting their skills and after eating we watched the beginning of a backpacker movie. Finally, we sang "Happy Birthday" to YHA and had some pieces of cake, which turned out to be something like chocolate brownies and banana something ... Anyway, it was great!

Uniting Care Wesely Adelaide Inc. – UCW
UCW is the organization we will work with. Today we had our first meeting there. The people are all pretty nice and we have got a first idea about the projects we will do there. But good for us we will not start our project within the next 2 or 3 weeks. So we have time left to do a little bit of research before starting.
First day at UniSA and house hunting
Today was our first day at the University of South Australia (UniSA). We got our computer logons, got introduced to a few people and had lots of time to search for a place to stay.
But this is not so easy, because we only want to stay for 3 ½ months …
We had a look at two different places, one in the CBD (Central Business District) and one in the close east of Adelaide. Both owners wanted people to stay longer L.
But hope springs eternal! At the moment we are staying at the youth hostel YHA which is actually pretty good for a hostel, but not the best place to stay for long time.
Arriving in Adelaide
Hey everybody,
we finally made our way to Adelaide. We are currently staying at the YHA (hostel). Right now we are trying to find a permanent place to stay at. We'll see how that will work out.
Greetings to everyone,
Johannes and Verena
Just got to Singapore
Hey everyone,
we've just arrived at Singapore Airport 🙂 We'll head on to Darwin in about an hour.
The first part of our travel was pretty relaxed, but here its about 30 degrees celsius and humid as hell 🙁
Cheers,
Verena and Johannes
P.S.: The keyboard is really strange ...
We will start our trip soon – preparations
Hello everyone,
We only have 3 days left before we will start our trip to Australia. So at the moment we are getting our things together.
We hope that with a big list we will not forget anything!
Our plane will start at Monday night (23:55) from Frankfurt. The airline is Qantas. We will land in Darwin on Wed. 18th August 2:35 am Darwin time (I think this is Thu. 19:05 in Germany). So the time difference for Darwin is 7 ½ hours.
We will then have one day in Darwin and start a 3-day Kakadu-Tour on the 20th.
So we are looking forward to write here again after our days in Darwin (if we will have Internet).
Cheers
Verena and Johannes
