In other news, I am starting to think that the reason because I feel this uneasyness is due to the fact that I know I will never settle, I will never be able to say: "that is it, I do not need help from anybody to do what I want to", because in six months you cannot even think of buying a car, and life seems to be united to some kind of motorized vehicle (that and a GPS or a very good map). Everything is so far apart and public transport is such a mess that it takes hours to get anywhere. You want to go to the cinema?, you go to the shopping mall which is in the middle of nowhere. You want to shop?, same thing, You want to go to somebody's place?, pick the car, you want to have a life?...

I clearly came to Aurora and want to get back to the City. Ah, wait, I did not even come to Aurora, where are my servants?.

[EDITED several weeks later]. I actually.. do not mind that much anymore, I am regarded with high steem when I tell people I go places in a bike, nad you well know I am all about social acceptance

For some reason, the heating in the lab room I work in is STILL not working. Once again, they just pretend there is no winter. However, I managed to buy one of those noisy fan heaters, even with the clear opposition of Elendor, who might be reading this. This fan heater has saved my life, do you read me? (Well, maybe together with the hot water bottle) XD.
In other news I am still waiting for the students to come, since it looks like nothing happens around here till the semester starts, the groups I wanted to join seem to be dead and the Kendo course starts lightyears from now. In the meanwhile, I am visiting Perth, the zoo, the cinemas, and other very interesting choice of places. Like the supermarket, in which I laugh everytime I see the price of the freaking pinneaples or kiwifruits, are not they supposed to actually PRODUCE THIS?, how can this be more expensive than anywhere else in the world?, can anyone please explain to me, because everybody goes like: "yeah, we have to import everything and that is why is so expens..." WROOOONG. YOU DO NOT IMPORT PINNEAPLES, I should know I worked with them some time ago. Oh, and bananas are in sale for 12 dollars a kilo, but that has a very good explanation, and I really should not be making fun of it.

No, there is nothing wrong with the comic.

We went to the movies a couple of days ago. The shopping mall had one of those Christmas in July going on, which I do love, because there is always a reason to celebrate stuff and make a party.
But back to the movie itself, I found it great, funny, and well done. It is a pity Bollywood movies stopped being lame, because the ones with people dancing all about were soooo epic and cool I will miss them a lot, even though this one had a bit of dancing too.
About the topic, as Hansi said, and he keeps being right about things for some reason I cannot really grasp, it is like Tarantino made in India. The description is spot on, believe me.. and go and see it because you have to. Well, better download it, I do not think they will air that movie in Spain, or Europe, for that matter.

Winter INDEED is coming.

My first days here have gone smoothly, mostly because I have just spent a weekend here, lets see what happens at lab, people are so centered in their work I am scared to be the slowest worker, or not getting grasp of stuff.
However, I have already had time to visit a couple of towns around here, and discover the intelligence of the local bird species. There was one that knew how to open automatic doors. It stayed inside the refectory building till he bored and then flew around the sensor till the door opened. My eyes almost dropped while watching.

In other news... people celebrate Christmas in July here. HOW COOL IS THAT. I am going to have two Christmas this year, who was laughing at me for having to cope with two winters (specially given how much warm my body produces. hint: 0)

Eh.. I thought I would translate that but... NO FUCKING WAY *yaomingface*

Googletranslate it and post it in comments, I will enjoy a laugh.

He estado planteándome como llevar una petición que me han hecho. Se trata de empezar a hacer los posts en inglés durante mi estancia fuera del país. No estoy segura de que a mis lectores hispanoparlantes les parezca una buena idea, pero más que menos todos podemos entender inglés, sobre todo el inglés de alguien que no es nativo, como es mi caso.

El caso es que he decidido hacerlo, empezaré a postear en inglés, aunque solo durante una temporada. Si alguien cree que es demasiado, antes de dejar de leerme, que me lo comente y empezaré con una versión bilingüe, al menos hasta donde pueda llevarlo.

Quién sabe, igual en dos semanas estoy diciendo que paso del inglés...
