FIRST NEWS

As I arrived, I entered through the garden with a small veranda and went into the house, which is not very big but really open and bright. The living room is together with the kitchen the biggest room with many windows, which are almost every time opened, a comfortable couch, and a lot of interesting DVD’s like Pulp Fiction and Monty Python. The glass door in the living room leads directly to the backside veranda and the garden.

My room leads to the frontside veranda as same as the normal door. So I can go directly from my room to the outside. I have a much bigger bed than I expected and a TV, which isn’t working very well, but who cares.

Sue and Les (my hostparents) are very friendly like the mentality here. But I didn’t saw them for a long time because, just a few days after my arriving, they went away for a week. But a friend of them is styed here to look after me and the house. Maybe they wanted to control, that I don’t make a big home party in their house ;-) what a pity. But now they are back and the washing machine is still out of order! föck.

But the big disadvantage is, to have NO internet at home. I’ve got just free wifi on school.  At first, it’s no problem, but on rainy days it’s quiet boring. And sometimes it rains a lot. But the temperature is nice, not too hot and not too cold.

And I’ve just 10 min to school or to town and with the bicycle about 4 min.

One night I dreamed I would have a very tight race bike and not such a rusty old boneshaker like I have here. But it's better than nothing, everybody rents a bike here.

The school seems to be very small, but it’s just because now the main season is over. Three weeks ago there must have been much more people in 6 different classes. Now we’re just 3 classes anymore. But the people are funny, all above the brazilian guys. We have also a lot of Spanish, Swiss, Korena and Japaneses. However, the two brazilians, who are living in a tent on the camping place and playing guitar all day long, are still the craziest. They don’t even know how long they will stay in Byron. Maybe till June, maybe one year.. just until they run out of money haha..  nice guys.

The teachers are very funny and at my first day, the afternoon program was ‘Pizza and Beer for free!’. What a start.. 

But the life here is very expensive. Almost the same as in Switzerland, sometimes even more. But every day there is an happy hour in another bar, or pizza for 5$ in the club, or you can win a surfboard when you get the right number with your beer... (That's the only reason we drink beer, for sure ;-) Anyway, in every shop in town are surf -and skateboards on the walls. And freaky birds are walking on the street and making crazy sounds.

So, I have to say goodbye for now.

PS: every where you can buy great sushi! Aber wie mer en rechtige Kebap macht hends glaub nonig usegfonde..
