italy [Apr. 9th, 2007|12:45 pm]
So i went to italy for a week. it was pretty special, i took about 1300 digital photos and about 50 polaroids. i dont have a scanner here in germany, but they are good, better than all these digitals. i cant be bothered nameing all the locations and storys behind these shots, or even uploading anymore.


























































































































i have lots more photos from this trip, with many tales for each, but they are for another day.

your lack of dignity is sickening.
your lack of compassion is un-humane.
your lack of self knowledge is naive.
your lack of conviction is weak.
your lack of individuality shows how much you like society.
your lack of truth is only lying to yourself.
your lack of hope in the world and people is only a reflection on your character.
your lack of respect for other is disgusting .
your lack of acceptance is only securing your loneliness.


you are what you and who you fuck, think, say and eat.

As long as im never like you, i will be fine. You probably think i'm a dork, because people like you dont understand and never will.

Sitting in my host familys study/library in front of the fire place, writing letters, listening to beatles records, talking and reading was so much better than my other Friday night option of going to some party.

Most days when i have nothing to do, i skate into town, to get out of the house. i wonder little back streets and alleys looking for old records and such things. 90% of the time im lost so i just follow my feet. i walk/skate around for hours and go where i want.

A month has gone already. It feels like new years was yesterday. January i can say was a success and wouldn't change a thing. I like my new life if thats what you could call it. I don't feel as if iv swapped life's, just i needed to learn things and then let them go and be free of them. I like the person i am. My life is only beginning. I feel so lucky to be where i am, i live every minute to the fullest. Hello February.

I recently traveled to an old castle about 10 minutes away from where i live. It was amazing for me, but by European and even German standards, it was "small and shit" haha. Its name was Plesse Castle. It was built in 1015, or some time around then. i thought it was neat.

In Göttingen where i live there are about 3 or 4 little privatly owned cinemas that play underground movies, anything to get away from the main stream. I watched a silent film last night from the 1920's called the camera man. The film was accompanied by a live pianist at the front, who played along to the movie. It was amazing, he captured the mood perfectly. i love my life. Experiencing things Australia wouldn't dream of.

AUSTRIA [Jan. 31st, 2007|06:24 pm]
So I spent a week in Saalbach Austria on a skiing trip. Pretty amazing week on my life. Had some extreme highs and some lows. The 8 hour bus ride there was really hell. I didn't speak a word the whole way until we go to the alps because i felt like being alone and i hate being crammed up and people touching me. I knew three people, and there was no snow when we arrived, so i felt pretty shitty, i was trying to be optimisticb but. The day we got there however was amazing. The view from my room on the first day was awesome, snow or not.





Met my room mates and made a few new friends. As im at a German school, drinking was permitted on this school camp. This was new to me, as was walking down to the general store and buying our drinks, you can buy alcohol anywhere. Im not really the biggest drinker and was put off by what was going on that night, partly, because i was missing being with my friends and slappas, beer and the term "drinking with da boyz" was being thrown around. i quickly lost the mood and went to bed. p.s Austria cheap beer taste like shit.

It snowed a few inches of snow that night, and then i set out the next day,to learn how to ski. Having no previous experience i was put in the beginners group, which was fine by me. However some of these kids i swear couldnt walk in their boots let along ski. I soon picked it up and was put up two levels. The next day, i went onto some bigger hills and the ski lifts greeted me kindly.








The next few days went along fine. Meeting new people everyday, finding it very hard to keep a vegan diet, with the chefs soon hating me because they had to cook separate meals every day. Eating with large numbers of people each night i soon found my new ultimate pet hate.... bad table manners and the way people eat. Its not hard to hold a fork correctly and nobody had any manors, fair enough we were on a camp, but it did my head in. The most memorable night started off by walking down to the local shop to get alcohol, it was closed. From here we proceeded to buy beer from the vending machine outside the shop for 0.80 euro. we stood huddled out side the shops drinking. I honestly couldnt feel my toes after 10 minutes with the -17° air around me. I was told to keep drinking and i wouldn't feel it, which slowly worked. After awhile we walked to the closest bar, sat down and ordered our first round. My first round ever in a bar. We drunk two things for the rest of the night, some rad beer and jagermister shots. I had fun watching them sing German drinking songs and i was constantly having separate conversations with people, who loved Australia. Thank god, as on the sunshine coast, no beers were poured over heads, and trying to get sex or any such thing wasn't even on anyones minds. It was about having fun with your friends. This was a welcomed change??

The next morning i woke up feeling fine and everyone else was hungover. This was to be the most amazing day of the trip. As being the first one up, i looked out the window and i new it was going to be a special day when i saw this in the morning.


The day went on and it was like everywhere i looked, was a Kodak moment

















and some rad friends.





i went into the town village a few times because it was pretty close. It was amazing.These photos will give you a small idea, but it comes nothing close to the beauty.








The rest of the week was fun. I didn't drink again. nothing special happened, oh i got marked 13 out of 15 but for skiing but. Thats more than what some experienced kids got, and id only just started. so much fun. I had a few negs, but i get over those things quickly and don't let it wreak my day. on the trip back i wanted to die. i wont go into it. Other than the bus rides, my time in Austria was amazing.

I can already tell leaving was the best thing iv ever done. Getting out of my comfort zone, leaving everything has made me see how i took things for granted, and now i appreciate these things so much more.

my trip [Jan. 17th, 2007|05:34 am]
All up from leaving at 4:30 Saturday morning to arrive to my new home in Göttingen, it took just over 27 hours of planes, cars, and trains rides, and 24 hours of transit time and not one minute of that was i bored. It gave me so much time to think about what i was doing and my life and what is important in it.

12 hours on a plane [Jan. 17th, 2007|05:32 am]
12 hours on a plane in the same seat. Tokyo to Frankfurt. I thought i would want to neck myself, but i wasn't bored at all. The whole flight i was good. I had a window seat, with a spair seat next to me. It was so so good. I looked out of the small rectangle window i was given at some of the most amazing things iv ever seen. Mountains everywhere, all snow capped, like a winter wonderland with forest running as far as the eye could see. We flew up over the north pole, then back down to Germany, so we chases the sun set for hours and hours it seamed like the sun was just floating on the horizon sending every cloud and bit of light electric orange. This contrasted with the snowy wilderness below was one of the most amazing things iv ever seen.


Sitting there looking at these images, just made every problem iv ever had, seem so small and useless and put my life in perspective. I'm 17. sitting in a plane alone, flying to the other side of the world, that all there is, nothing else matters. Just now and me.

Flying over khaparovsk was one of the most remote places iv ever seen, i didn't see one form of life the whole flight over it. On the whole trip, i watched two movies, drained my ipod, starved due to the fact i didn't order vegetarian meals, read, drew, origami, colored in an entire sheet of A4 paper with a ball point pen and took photos out the window. I over thought so much is made me dizzy. i listened to peter bjoum young folks a million and 3 times after my ipod run out, as every other song on the plane sucked. i want to do it all again.
