Back to being Brisbanians (22-28.11.08)

Back in Brisbane, supposed to be studying. No further comment on that subject.

We're back at Bowen Terrace, enjoying life in separate rooms this time (yay!) and we have our own fridge! Luxury! Indulgence!

Our breakfast is Coco Pops + milk (first time I've had milk since Norway) on the porch. My dinners have consisted of steak as I discovered that in Australia, steak is 8 AUD per kilo (roughly 36 NOK). I love steak.

We are around 25 people staying at Bowen Terrace, so it is very social. A few Australians, a British guy, some French people, many Italian people and loads of Germans.

We've finally ordered a Wicked Camper for 5 days in New Zealand, and hotel in Cristchurch for the rest. We're leaving tomorrow.

Today, we spent the day at the Immigration Department, standing in line. Luckily, it turns out we will not be illegal immigrants in Australia afterall. We were originally told that we had a 3 month visa, and we entered the country the 8th of september, and logically, our visa would expire the 8th of december. We're leaving the 12th. Today, they checked our passport and since Norway has a special agreement with Australia, our visa's give us a new 3 month stay everytime we re-enter the country. We will be back in Australia the 5th of december, meaning our visa will expire the 5th of March unless we re-enter the country again. So, we're all clear. Phew :)
