Getting social in Melbourne
After the Latin festival I met up with Wesley again, we went to the Crown, which is a Melbourne Casino slash mall slash bowling slash a little more. Quite a big place. We had something to eat and went to the play arcade and fooled around. I sucked at the car games but I did beat him at basketball! In the evening the crown has poles outside that are shooting fire. It is really big and you can hardly look straight at it without it hurting your eyes. You can also stand really close and feel the heat! It was pretty cool. Or maybe it was only because I’ve never seen it before! After that we went and checked out a bar that had a zouk evening. At first we thought we just crashed a birthdayparty. To be honest I still think we did. Haha. But alittle bit later the zouk dancing started. Not much dancing for us as neither one of us knows much of zouk. But the other dancers were amazing!
Coming back home again I found out my hostmum is thinking of becoming a stay at home mum again. I was disappointed because I really liked it there. But I knew that it was for the best as I hated the location. So I started looking for new jobs.
I had my first interview on Easter Sunday. How funny isn’t that? A little disappointed that I didn’t get a chocolate rabbit when I arrived! Haha This family didn’t work out.
The rest of the Easter weekend I spent with Wesley. I had the option to go with my hostfamily to the beach but I decided not to. I got to meet some of his family and we spent 3 great days together.
The weekend after that I had 3 other interviews, a christening reception, 40th birthday dinner with Wesley and some salsa dancing with a friend. It was a busy weekend and it was the first time I really experiences the horrible Melbourne traffic- was stuck for ages!
Had another working week and decided to say yes to a family in Hawthorn and I felt really good about that decision. It was much more central than before and I would live in my own guesthouse which would give me much more privacy. That coming weekend Wes and I had a great evening at a place called Cococabana where he had got invited to join his dance teachers table. So we had dinner and danced salsa. :) And on that Saturday I moved to Hawthorn and then spent the rest of the weekend with Wes. Yet again a new family, new kids, new job!
