Montagu Bay, Hobart - Tasmania
Alright, ive been in tassie for three days now, still trying to get used to the biting cold weather here, but first of all, i wanna talk about recent events that have taken place...
So i left Carlton last tuesday and headed to Mentone/Mordialloc by train...the train system in Melbourne has gotta be one of the best in any metropolis, they just bring you to anywhere outside melbourne!
Ive been buying concession tickets ever since i was caught by the ticket inspector for not possessing any tram tickets...damn, i was scared to death when she asked me to produce my ticket, because i havent got any! luckily enough she didnt write me a summon (the fine is $100) when i acted stupid and told her im backpacking in the country and havent the faintest clue that i was supposed to buy a tram ticket...haha...i know that sounded lame but she bought it....such a narrow escape..
Sorry for the digression...i arrived in Mentone and stayed with these two girls (one aussie and the other Uruguayan)...and my, they are like the craziest host ever...so full of mischief and naughty ideas, and how much fun we've had! the house is located by the bay so i spent two days sun bathing at the beach...it's still too cold to swim so i didnt get to display my speedo... :p but it was indeed lovely to have a picnic on the beach after spending days in town...
On thursday, i left their house and went to stay with Kew in South Yarra, yeah, im back to town again...kew is staying in this luxury town house of Punt Hill group, and i indulged myself immensely having a proper home again...they have dishwasher, washing machine and dryer, totally so-not-backpacker style...but i can definitely get used to it...
Kew has gotta work during the day, so basically i have the entire house to myself, sleeping in every morning, laid on the bed for hours reading my book, cook myself to some hot meals using the oven, and yeah, watching TV on the bed as well....enjoying myself to the fullest!
In the afternoon i would walk down Chapel street and window shop for the most part...Chapel Street is like the fashion street in Melbourne, and it kills me for not able to buy anything because im backpacking, im not about to add extra loads to my already heavy backpack...and the neverending sales in all that boutiques didnt help at all, in the end, i bought two sweaters from CK Jeans...yeah, i succumbed to the power of temptation....
When evening comes, Kew would bring me to the famous eatery in town, to date, ive already tried cuisine from differrent countries, namely Chinese, greek, vietnamese, italian, mexican, american, nepalean, japanese...to name just a few...
it was hard when i forced myself to be on the go again, i was getting very complacent in Melbourne and spending way too much money, and that was totally not in my travel agenda...so i left heaps of clothes with Kew and flew in to Hobart on the 26th.
My second host is an American boy (he's 21), he's an exchanged student in the university of Tasmania, and we clicked instantly when we first met...His house is HUGE, three storeys with a fantastic view of the bay...and geez, this is a student house too, and all seven tenants are from different countries...let me see, we have American, Aussie, German, Poland, Bolimian, UK and another doctor from Ecuador...such a mixture of different cultures...all living harmoniously under one roof...it's amazing...
Nima has to go to school during the day so basically im exploring the town on my own...at night, he brought me to check out the local bars and pubs, two nights in a row! it was funny because he kept insisting that he is not a big drinker, and he kept getting jugs after jugs of beer...i would have loved to stay longer but my time in tasmania is short, so i only limit myself to stay a couple of nights with different hosts each time...but im very sure i will visit Nima in Maryland when i go to the states...damn, i just cant wait...
and now, im staying with a lovely tasmanian at Montagu Bay...she is living here alone in a big house, so i get to have the guest room fully equiped with couches, fridge, and a bathroom....and yeah, my own private garden with sea view...i cant believe how lucky i am...i can definitely save some money in accommodation!
oh yeah, ive gotten my ipod but somehow didnt do much with it...i was so gung ho bout it at first but now i realized is just another mp3 player....though i can play games on it now, but who has time for that?
Im loving tasmania alot, the mountains and rivers and lakes totally suit me to the utmost...wish i could live here someday...
life's good...

Melbourne
On this eventful day, i happened to go onboard a ship when i passed by central pier and saw a crowd gathering round the cruise liner, causing much commotion...
so being the curious soul/busy body that i am, i alighted the tram and went to investigate what all that jokers were doing...and i was deeply inspired thereafter..
I'm not sure if you guys have heard of this organization known as the Sea Shepherd? Well basically they are a bunch of conservationist who aspire to protect marine animals such as whales and seals and to stop mankind from killing them.
I was taken on a guided tour on board the ship where this lovely canadian lady was explaining to us why she is volunteering on the mission. I can clearly see her commitment to the marine life when i caught a tear in her eyes as she was telling us how the Japanese were killing the whales, so brutally, almost inhumane...it occurred to me suddenly that while some japanese are kind and gentle, there are those who's barbarous...
Apparently they have had few encounters with the japanese when the latter tried to ram their ship offcourse, nearly sinking the 'seashepherd' on few occasions...they (seashepherd) have been trying to hinder the whaling ships by chasing them off the protected waters and cutting off their fishing nets...
We were also told of the massacre of seals and its pups by japanese/norwegians, it was totally abominable!! the seals werent killed for their fur, but they were left to die and rot on a bloodbath of ice...Well seemingly the seals were accused of causing the decline of codfish production, but the fact is that the codfish has other natural predators apart from the seals, which only consume 3% of codfish in total...by killing off the seals by the thousands, the number of predators have increased, thus consuming more codfish than ever...that totally makes sense, doesnt it?
The photos that were shown to us gave me a goosebump, i was actually moved by what the conservationists are doing to protect the animals, and vow never to ever buy any seal fur or whale products...but she went too far when she encouraged everyone to become a vegan...hey, i still like eating meat, k? is not like im eating whales or seals or other endangered animals...
Sadly, very little was done on the government part...As it is, the japanese has such strong economical power that few countries would want any troubles with it, even the australian...thus putting on a blind eye whenever the japanese invades the australian seas and comes whaling illegally here...that's absolutely unheardof...
As there was little i can do on my part, i thought i should make it a mission to educate as many ppl as possible regarding the issue of protecting the world wildlife...i have always been an advocate of WWF, so why not for seashepherd as well?
well guys, we are not the only species living on the earth, are we?
let's learn to share...
I am an animal lover too, that's an Angora rabbit (it's real)

Yesterday i slept in till afternoon and spent the rest of the day in Myer and David Jones...talk about dying of boredom....
Christmas comes early this year in Melb, they are already having Christmas decorations in David Jones, damn, it's only september! but it feels good to have all that glitters and tinsels shining around you, it just put you at ease...
Later at night i met up with Kew, a very close friend back in varsity days...he brought me to this Greek restaurant by the name of 'staclactite' and we have something known as Souvlaki, basically just meat wrapped in pita bread and some tasty sauce...we also ordered the appetizer platter which consists of, again, lotsa meat, different cheese, and different sauces...all in all, it was a very satisfying meal...
The fellowship lasted only briefly as we have to catch the tram before they cease operation at 11...we have so much to talk about and so little time...the dude has to work during the day, not like me, idling around most of the time...it does make me feel bad that im travelling while the rest of my peers are working their ass off...
who in the whole wide world would put their career on the chopping block and take off to travel? answer: me
i'll be seeing kew again as im gonna be here for another week or so before flying to tasmania to visit the tasmanian devil...
btw, do you guys know that the crocodile hunter has died? i was suddenly reminded when i saw some folks feeding the sting ray at the aquarium earlier...and he was telling us that 'the sting rays are generally harmless'...such contradiction...
well, i guess i can skip the australia zoo now that steve irwin is no longer around, i have always wanted to see him in action, live...instead of watching him on animal planet...
didnt i tell u guys that life is fragile?
enjoy while it lasts, folks...

Melbourne
So it was all very urban yesterday, we did what an average city dweller would do, yeah, we did alot of window shopping in downtown CBD, where i found out that apple has launched the 5th generation ipod, hence rendering the drastic drop of price of the 4th generation ipod...a 30g ipod now only cost aud380....HURRAY...
i was thinking of getting it online because they offer free engraving and i do want my name to appear on the surface of the ipod...but if it is too much fuss and if i can get it at the store later for a tax-rebate price (10 percent cheaper), i'll just buy it straightaway...
we later stopped at the japanese restaurant where gary works and fixed our lunch...i had a nice chashu ramen with a raw-beef-with-raw-egg thingy as side dish...the food was superb...
after more hanging around the malls and shops and lotsa tram rides later, we stopped at Fitroy for coffee and cakes...there are heaps of coffee shops here for ppl to fix their caffeine crave and it was hard to decide which one to patronize...we finally settled down at red tongue where they served HUGE slices of gateoux...i was disappointed with their cappucino though....why did they put a big scoop of ice cream in there for? i didnt freakin' order a float, did i?
anyhow, it is nice to indulge in coffees and cakes again...not that i havent been going to cafe much all this time backpacking, but ive been trying to minimize my craving for this kinda 'luxury', really needa sustain myself longer in a foreign land...but hell with it, didnt i say im looking forward to a fabulous time in Melb? to live an urban lifestyle again, even if it's only a week...i know this is contradicting with my previous wilderness talk, but who doesnt like to sit down on a chic sidewalk cafe for nice coffee and gelato?
i really needa get outta melb asap, dun wanna find myself missing the urban indulgence back home...ive gotten rid of my cosmo lifestyle in this backpacking trip and that's a good thing...a relapse would render everything purposeless...
So in the evening we went to this mexican restaurant for nachos and tacos and fahitas...while the tacos were good, the rice that came with it were bland and dry, almost disgusting...geez, dont i miss TGIF and Chillie?
we head on to a bar later for a beer and chit chat to conclude the one-day-very-melbourne-lifestyle experience...
as i said, i must get outta here sooner than later...
why not later then?
LOL...

Well, ive finally landed in the land of oz...one glimpse tells me that the city has not changed at all, it is exactly how i remembered it when i left couple of years back...still as vibrant...
I crashed in at Gary's place where i'll be staying until he comes back from Auckland, it's funny how he's flying to NZ when i just flew in from there this morning, like we are playing some kinda musical chair...
What can i say about Melbourne? Well organized in a grid-like township system, with trams aplenty that bring you to just about everywhere, gardens surrounding the square...it's just another toy-city...
I somehow missed the wilderness...well, i suppose grass is always greener on the other side...but im starting to think i belong to the countryside sorta person...i dont fancy buildings and crowds and lotsa malls...at least not anymore...
Maybe i will like Tasmania more...

Wellington
After been travelling with mates for so long, i find it a lil' forlorn and lonely having to be on my own again...I know ive had all that big talk about being independent and shit, somehow it is always nice to have some companionship...
Arriving in this big city of Wellington, everything just seems so out of place...dont get me wrong, this is a very pretty city, but having stayed in a small town for some time now im starting to despise cities for a bit....everyone just seems so distant and cold...and what with ppl hurrying about in the sidewalks of all major cities? Slow down peeps, you will wear out sooner than later hustling like that...
I shall join a day tour tmr exploring all of Wellington's majot attractions like the Zoo, Mt. Victoria, seal bay, botanical gardens and the like...although i really dont feel like going anywhere....i dunno, today i just feel so DOWN IN THE DUMPS...
I suspect it's the visit to Te Papa today that makes me feel this way...Te Papa is the national Museum and ive spent hours staring at artifacts and dead animals and antique exhibits...it is unhealthy really to look back at the past...
I miss my friends already...
I just wanna go back home....

Te Mata Peak (Sleeping Giant)
today we woke up to a brilliant morning when the crimson ray came spreading all over our bedroom...so Yasutomo and myself prepared a picnic and head to the Te Mata forest park...
this is a very well preserved park with a lush redwoods encompassing the entire valley, it took us a couple of hours to get to the peak, the journey was tiring, as im really not the most athletic person, but the view was incredible, we could see through to the Ocean Beach where we went the day before, much disappointed because there werent any seals when we were there...
anyway, we met a nice lady who showed us the shortest route to get around, because we were panting all the way hiking through the woods, and she was encouraging us all along...she was as sure-footed as a lamb, running ahead of us with the slightest lethargy, and kept looking back at us to ask us to hurry up...such embarrassment!
We had a wonderful outing, gorgeous scenery for the eyes and breathing the wood-scented air, sometimes disturbed by a whiff of stench from the sheeps' poo...but they are gentle creatures, would never come close to you even if a wolf is nearby...
***
im leaving tomorrow to Wellington, the plan is to hitch a hike to get there...it is only 300km from here, and im sure it wont be such a hassle....the only thing that bothers me is the heavy backpack that im gonna carry, i cant even imagine what's gonna happen at the airport, im sure it is heavier than 20kg!
Nevertheless, being me who worry bout nothing till the last minute, im sure im in good hands, havent i hitherto been scraping through all this while? albeit not always smooth sailing, but that's the fun and challenge of it...
i can do this...

Waipawa
Remember how my car got stolen couple of weeks back? well, being the responsible police department that they are, they managed to get it back for me...apparently they are holding two thieves in captive, and they are doing finger printing and stuff right now for evidence against the villains...
So the police found my car in Palmerston North, a nice University town 2 hours from here, and i will have to go and claim it back...I wont have time to sell off the car as im leaving for Wellington on Sun...so im thinking i will just leave the car by the road side, discard the number plate and im good to go...
In the mean time, my boss has lent me his car to get around, isn't he the best boss ever? I barely knew him for a month and he's leaving his car with me, and no, i didnt even ask for it...so there we go, im not handicapped afterall...and just when i thought i can start keeping fit by walking again...well maybe later...
I'm all set to go to Melbourne for a fantastic time...It's officially spring right now and im sure the Garden city will have a alot to boast about...Sadly, i never got back my camera battery charger, thus really needa watchout for its power usage...Also, im thinking of getting the new Ipod Video 30Gb to store all my photos, it's a time of blossom right now and i just cant stop snapping some breathtaking pictures just about everywhere...
btw, im still quite tight with my finances right now...so if there's anyone outthere in the land of Oz willing to host my stay, i will definitely be a grateful guest...
just wondering...
