The land of Oz continued!

In my life so far and on my crazy travels I've come across some interesting people to say the least and my journey which has led me to the land of Oz has been nothing but in true Yash style a bit mental, crazy and oh  amazing!
Happy New Year from Sydney! 
So going back to just arriving in Melbourne and feeling so excited staying with a friend from London and really happy to get out of the UK and the grayness that is London. Fast forward 4 months (its gone so fast!) and after going through dramas with so called 'friends' who have none the less disappeared to give way to new friendships, fracturing my finger (now its bent forever), living with a arrogant rude french dude to living with a 55 year old OCD Aussie Greek woman who was nothing short of a psycho! Oh and throw in a guy who never spoke to me who lived next door to me and had next to no personality.. and that's just the start!

Sydney Harbor Bridge and Opera House!
I have had amazing times here also and been blessed to have met some angels along the way who have come to my 'rescue' in the shape of a Aussie lady who asked me if I was 'OK love' when I fractured my finger in the hospital and offered me a place to stay in her amazing mansion in Williamstown beach. She said after hearing my stories 'I want to show you that good people exist' and for sure they do! After losing faith with humanity which happened a few times since being in Australia (once a few guys in a car drove up opened their window and screamed 'faggot!') I have understood that yes you have to take the good with the bad! 

Tallest point of Tasmania with Marni (Love Ya!)
I have moved into my 5th house, yes I have moved 5 bleeding times in the space of four months! Finally finding somewhere I actually feel comfortable with in a place called Moonee Ponds (funky name yeah I know) but its cool for now. I had another angel come out of nowhere and offer some much needed help as I needed a mattress to sleep on and bang a mattress was delivered to me today! This anonymous act of generosity has brightened my day and made believe in the good once again!

A bit of Lama Lovin! 
OK! Going back to my travelling, I have visited a good friend in Tasmania a visually stunning place and climbed the tallest point with breathtaking views! I spent New Years in Sydney which was so much fun to say the least after partying on the Sydney harbor bridge (and the party continuing for 3 days!)  seeing the STUNNING fireworks and going on rides at Luna Park. The city is awesome with clean beaches and bars and clubs to keep you entertained. I didn't actually want to leave Sydney but for now i'm back in Melbourne and its not so bad here either. Its meant to be the most 'live-able city' in the world however coming from London I think the transport needs a good seeing to as you can wait up to 25-30 mins for a train to come and sometimes when your in a rush to get somewhere it can get rather annoying!  Melbourne however does have amazing places to eat and coffee culture is great here. I find the slowness of the city a bit draining sometimes as I love cities like London and New York for the energy and its hustle and bustle. When it comes to Asian food Melbourne is your place as every corner of the city is a Asian restaurant and for me this has been a bonus as Asian food rocks! 

I have yet to travel up the coast of Australia to  see the Great Barrier reef but i'm very much looking forward to it and will keep you fabulous people posted! 



From the land of Oz I wish you a 'Goodaaaay Mate mate mate!' :P

Love and light!
