Hi everyone!
Hope you are all well. Sorry we have not posted anything in quite some time. Markus and I are however fully set in Sydney now. We live by a beach called Dee Why, which is one of the northern beaches and about 10 minutes drive north of Manly for those of you who have been there. I am studying at Macquarie University and am enjoying it even though there is quite a big workload despite the fact that I do not really learn anything except for how to memorize long things and various things about the Asian culture. About 90% of the people in my class are Asian and the rest is exchange students from all around the world. I do not know why but the Australians do not seem that interested in studying finance at the master level. One day a week I have a class in Manly at ICM, which is a big beautiful castle overlooking the beach and surrounded by large gardens. Nicole Kidman actually had her wedding reception there. You really cannot complain about the location, even though the course is extremely unstructured.
Markus got a really good job as a customized joiner at a firm called Debrich. He puts up custom-made architecturally designed interiors in very rich peoples houses. Since we got here he has been working away from home, in a town called Collecta, about half of the time. Collecta is a real Australian town and you are really in the outback. Fortunately he has been home in the weekends.
I
n the beginning we did not have that much time to do fun things in the weekends as there were a lot of administrative getting-started things that took a lot of time and money. Now we are however almost done with all of that, with buying a white Pajero as our latest move.
The last couple of weekends we have been at the beach, either here in Dee Why, or in Manly or at Shelly Beach.
Dee Why beach is really beautiful and long and ends with a golf course on a peninsula that leads you to the next beach. It is perfect for walks and there are always healthy people (not us) jogging along the beach. What is nice about the beach is that it is not too crowded. Manly is really nice with lots of shops and restaurants but also a lot of people everywhere. We are however planning on moving there when I start working in September as you can take a ferry and be in town in 15 minutes. At the moment I am commuting to school for about 4 hours per day, which is getting pretty tiring.
