After Johan and I are now mutated to sushi junkies and quasi eat at least once weekly sushi to go, we have even received a bonus card. Now, together, eat sushi and earn points. What is not everything ...
As the weather is very changeable (a few days of sun and hot, a few days of windy and rainy), we try every beautiful day for Aussenaktivitaeten use. Am 09.10. then again so was a wonderful Summer day, so Nick and I did a motorcycle tour through the "mountains". Winding streets, wonderful views and then a stop for an ice cream in the sun ... Then we went to Kostuemverleih, as I am still none for the upcoming Convention in Melbourne had. Luckily we were looking for long - it should be Catwoman!
In the evening we went to the LDN (Dance Studio) crew to Pepi's (Kari's sister) 21 Birthday party in the district of Belair. They rented a place, made speeches and played music until late into the night. Pepi's little cousin (about 11 years old) has then asked each girl / woman in the room to dance (with dip and spin and all the trimmings), but only because his dad paid him for each dance (the boy allegedly hates dancing and his dad wanted him now to encourage in this way).
on 10/10/2010 was then a wine and cheese festival in the city, with tastings and "How I enjoy wine and cheese together right?" Courses. Of course, Johan and I go there then and enjoyed the many wine, cheese, sausage, liqueurs and Suesswarenstaende. For 16 clock, we then booked into the "What I enjoy wine and cheese together right?" Course and got a great selection of cheese, crackers, fruits and wine available. At the end of the course and unfortunately, the festival, we were vollgefuttert and drunk. Thank you, "Adelaide Wine & Cheese Festival!
While I spend my days working with the reptiles or in Adelaide, the day brings me sometimes and then I forget that I am in beautiful Australia is. But if I then worked at the lodge, however, it falls to me then suddenly again. Especially when on the road to the lodge (if I'm going along to the Sanctuary) hopping Kangaroos next to my car. Although I now have over a year here and I'm genut often had the opportunity to cuddle with Kangaroos, I am still fascinated by them ...
Then it was finally time ... On Friday (15.10.2010) Johan morning brought me to the airport, where Nick was waiting for me, so we can fly to Melbourne for the convention. Since Nick is frequent flyer, it has a membership with the airline, which entitled us to sit in the lounge to enjoy free breakfast and coffee. We were staff members of 9.30 bis 11 clock in the air before we reached Melbourne, and then it went straight to the "town hall" Cenvention Centre to build the stand. Now it was said that more than 20 boxes full spread of images, T-shirts, puzzles, trailer, etc. unpack, decorative on the table, so now visitors to the Convention then much!
went after it quickly to the Oaks Hotel, unpack, freshen up and chic, we were invited to a clock against 20 VIP cocktail party. This article was Celebrities such as:
David Faustino - known from "Married with Children, in which he played Bud Bundy,
Michael Shanks - of" Star Gate ", Ben Browder - of" Star Gate ", Torry Higginson - of "Star Gate", Sylvester McCoy - known from (7) "Doctor Who", Paul McGann - known from (8) "Doctor Who", Jay Laga'aia - of "Home and Away ", Juliet Landau - of" Buffy ". Many fans were there and were hoping to to be able to change their idols a few words. Since I did not know any of the actors, I was not really care. Latysha (17J. helps us in the state this weekend) knew of course everyone wanted to come with their idols, and strictly brought up for discussion. Since it is Shy in order to go alone, I got her "wing women" (which means as much as I help her out of trouble, if you think of any more questions on). So it went from one actor to another, I listened to conversations on the episodes in which she starred, upcoming projects and talks about the weather ... At first they thought I was so hopeless fan, but thought I drove them with the same answer "Oh no, I never one of its episodes seen! "When I finally by those boring talks (who wants 10 listeners something about the weather?) could dissociate, I talked to Tony (Tony and Nick share a booth, so Tony to his comic books can bring the man). He also wondered about my behavior and asked me if I'm not even allowed for the actors. I told him that I am at this party not even an actor of him and I could distinguish. So he felt himself even called to explain to me exactly who in which movie or series was played when. Whether I wanted it or not ...
Then he suddenly stood Sylvester McCoy and Paul McGann with the sentence before, I had never seen one of their series (probably more out of self-interest to even come into the conversation with the actors). So I did come into the discussion with Paul McGann - only about the show, then about life. We talked for about an hour (fans standing all the time beside us, waiting, that they could talk to him but were ignored by Paul) and then, when Paul's protective accompaniment (each actor was given a person placed on the side, in the case, they must be rescued from intrusive fans and so they never stood alone) showed up and said he would be tired from the trip and could now pull back to the room, he said only that he is here quite probably felt! O) He promised me some pictures together, we should see us on the weekend at the convention ...
10/16/2010
I woke up at around 6:30 already, since Nick was snoring next door loud enough for me nothing more left. So I took the 2 hours that remained me to make me alone and ready to have breakfast very comfortable. The event had been riddled with 8.30 bis 18 clock. Luckily it was pretty warm in the huge hall, so I do not freeze with my Catwoman costume needed. Every few minutes, I asked for a photo, so I took the opportunity to also pictures of the other visitors to get dressed. Some visitors even came to me and said, "You're the one who yesterday talked about with Paul McGann an hour!? While we waited next to you and have been ignored, "How funny ...! Then, when David Faustino (Bud Bundy) went past me, he just said with a cheeky grin "Hey my Catwoman. I love your outfit! "However, David is still smaller than me!
After the event feel for today was over, we met Nick and I, then with a few friends in G's pizza bar Since G is the owner and a very good friend of Nick, it's pizzas were in abundance for free. Then we started in the cocktail bar "1806" in Melbourne's inner city.
17/10/2010 8:30 we had back at the convention be - strengthened, good humor and dressed! It is madness WHAT IS OF moderately fans spend a lot of money. Not only for figures, T-shirts, etc. for photo's with the actors and autographs. But they are at their whole day in line ... for our booth had Latysha and then I also get signed photo's of the actor. Our passport and the help of Brad, the Security Man, we could then the queue of fans jump over and go forward ("Go directly about Go!") David Faustino grinned back impishly and greeted me with "Hey my Catwoman, "and Paul recognized me immediately and started a little small talk. Then he said, "Shall we shoot some pictures?", stood up and walked to the situated Tardis where we shot photos then. The fans in the queue looked surprised and said "Oh my God, Paul McGann takes pictures with her!)
was at 18.30 clock the event to an end and we could start again put anything before Nick and I are then for s Dinner went to the casino. Since I was now back in Melbourne, I wanted to visit my old hostel, and friends. John - the receptionist, the sleepless nights shortened with witty conversation - was really surprised and happy to see me suddenly!
Looking for a last cocktail (as bedtime) staggered us (Nick and me) then in the hotel bar where we met a crowd of people gathered again (this time predominantly women) to a man. Nick just said if I would not recognize him ...? Of course not! He explained to me is that John DiMaggio, the "Bender" from Futurama his vote ...
on Monday (18/10/2010) we slept in it before we clock against 13 in a bustling streets of many of Melbourne went for a leisurely breakfast - salmon, ham and scrambled eggs. After that we went though the same for lunch since we had an appointment with Helen (a friend of Nick).
to 18 clock went our plane back home.
After a 3-day working week, it went on 22.10.2010 (Friday) morning at 5 clock back to the airport where we met up with Kari and Shaun, to fly to Sydney to Bachata Competition. A few minutes later, then told us the friendly lady at the check-in desk that I can not go on board! I let Johan book my flight, so we are all in the same plane, although he has booked my flight by mistake on the wrong day. Instead of Friday morning and Sunday down back in the evening, he booked, Sunday morning and Sunday down back in the evening ...! A few hundred dollars and 3 hours later I was on the way to Sydney.
11 clock I ended up in the beautiful warm and Sydney, where Johan was waiting patiently for me before we went to the Great Southern Hotel. Once there, they told us then that we get a better room category (for whatever reason). So now we got a 2-bedroom apartment with huge balcony with even two balcony access.
For brunch we met with Shaun and Kari in a cozy little cafe before us their hotel suite (they live with the entire crew LDN) showed. For dinner we met with the entire LDN (my dance school) and LDA (friendly dance school in Sydney) Crew in a tapas bar where it then was a huge buffet and sangria-non-stop. Full gefuttert then we went into the dance club "O2" to the Pounds to dance again ...
Saturday morning (10/23/2010) we were able to sleep for good luck. Then it was sushi for brunch before the LDN crew in the studio of the LDA crew still had one last dance training before the evening should go to the Competition. To relax the nerves, we all jumped into the hot tub still in the hotel, then we got ready for the Bachata Competition.
addition to the Competition, which ended after midnight, we were also a lot of dancing Bachata, Zouk and Salsa. Our team even made the second place! To celebrate, we went to eat afterwards to the Chinese ...
before our plane was late afternoon back home, we walked (John, Sam, SARANTOS and I) nor the Wildlife Centre in Sydney.

HALLOWEEN!
Today we were invited to Simon's Halloween party. Simon's parents immigrated from Germany many years ago. So there was German food, like smoked meat - yum yum! Johan and I went dressed as pirates. We even found a bird on our shoulder - he was just a little too big. Simon has given us then is even a fire show. As the night was quite cold and I stood outside in my pirate dress, I'm of course I immediately got off a cold that made me over 60 hours continuously tied to the bed ...
