I'm at the Internet cafe... just a quick note to let you all know that we have got a flat, a car, and a UK bank account!! Our flat is the one I mentioned in yesterday's post; the one that impressed us with its newness and spaciousness. We're waiting for the real estate agency to do reference checks etc, but fingers crossed we should be able to move in on Monday (which is perfect as Sunday night is our last night in the Guest House). Yay!!! More details about our new place soon!
Yesterday we drove 60 miles to West London to look at a car, only to find that it had just been sold (despite the seller having called us an hour earlier to tell us he would be late)!! :S It was our first drive out of Crawley though - beautiful, lush countryside and lots to look at! We then drove 60 miles to East London to look at another car, which we have put a deposit on and should be able to collect next Wednesday. It's a blue '98 VW Golf TDi. The car is owned by a young IT student who lives in a very ethnic area full of crazy drivers and interesting shops such as Halal Fried Chicken and Nick's Pies and Eels! A man fell over right behind us while we were in line for the ATM, and nobody did anything except stare after him as he stumbled off down the street again. The guy is selling his car because he can't stand to live there any more and needs money to move!!!
Anyway, Ben needs to use the computer so I'd better make this all for now! Cheers, Anna.

First entry from England!
Hello all! I hardly know where to start! It's been only 2 days since I last wrote, but in that time we've left Taiwan, been to Thailand, arrived in London, been chauffeured to Crawley, stayed at a lovely B&B, hired a car, explored Ben's school, made some friends, talked to real estate agents, viewed 2.5 flats, got a working phone, and lots more! There, that'll do for this blog entry; all updated! :P
It's 6am on Thursday, and I woke up bright and cheery 15 minutes ago, despite having such severe tiredness (belated jet lag?) last night that I looked at the space we were about to park the car in when we got home from tea, then managed to fall asleep and wake up again in the 2 seconds it took Ben to pull into it! I'm typing this on the floor of our room at Caprice Guest House, where we're staying until Saturday night at least – there's no Internet here, but I'll save this and hope we get to an Internet cafe today.
Well, you may have noticed above that our flight also stopped in Thailand! We didn't know about that stopover until we left our hotel on Tuesday morning after having breakfast (Subway for Ben and Starbucks for me), and saw on the flight boards that BR0067, departing at 9am, had “Bangkok” as its destination! What a lovely surprise! Anyway, we had one hour at the new Suvarnabhumi Airport, so we basically walked and walked and walked (it's a huge airport) until it was time to board again!
We landed at Heathrow around 6:20pm on Tuesday night, went through Customs, and were reunited with our luggage. The guy going through Customs next to us was of Indian appearance and was being absolutely grilled by his Customs officer – i.e. “But doesn't your wife need help? Why are you leaving your wife and children to come over here and do nothing for 4 months?”...!!!! Our Customs officer just looked at Ben's passport photo (taken 8 years ago) and said “well, you've lost the nerdy look!” We then faced the task of finding the taxi that TimePlan (the agency that arranged Ben's work) had organised for us. By 7:40pm, we finally did so, and got into a black van with Rodru, our friendly driver. After an hour or so, we arrived at Caprice Guest House and were shown to our cute little room on the second floor.
Now, this is where the retelling of Tuesday's adventures should rightfully end. However, instead of going straight to bed after our day (already up for 22 hours by this time), we decided to take a walk. To cut a loooooong story short, this ended up being about 3 miles (MILES), in the RAIN, with the aim of finding food. We finally made it to McDonald's in Langley Green at about 11pm, and gratefully ate some bland food at a restaurant that doesn't give out serviettes anymore because someone threw them all around the carpark. We then managed to get a servo attendant to take pity on our bedraggled and exhausted selves, and call us a taxi. £3.50 later, our 25 hour day came to an end.
On Wednesday (yesterday) morning, we headed to the dining room for a lovely breakfast of cereal, toast, coffee, bacon, eggs, and baked beans. We met the others who had stayed the night here (there are only 3 rooms as far as we know) – a lovely newlywed couple (primary teacher and IT) from Lincolnshire who were returning from their honeymoon in Kenya, and Abraham from Texas who had just been to Prague for a uni friend's wedding! The lady from the Guest House, Jane, who is very helpful and friendly, then rang and organised a hire car for us for the next week, talked to us about what areas we should and shouldn't try to get a flat in, and then took us to pick up our car at 10am. Our Guest House is so close to Gatwick Airport that we can see the tails of the planes on the runway and watch them taking off and landing every few minutes – awesome!
After we picked up our car, a white Ford Fiesta that only Ben can drive so we didn't have to pay extra insurance, we found a Tesco store and bought a local paper for the real estate listing, and a local jobs guide.
We then headed to Ben's future school, Ifield Community College, for a look. We ended up staying for hours, as there were some staff there even though it's holidays, and a stint of “rotating tour guide” ensued! They were all so friendly and welcoming; it was absolutely lovely! We talked to a few of them about what areas of town to live in, too. Finally, we were shown the science labs by Maria the lab assistant, then settled in for some phoning of real estate agents regarding potential flats to let (using the lab phone at Maria's insistence)! Meanwhile, we met Maria's husband Frank, who works at the school (in maintenance), and his mother, Rose, who was also there for some reason! Rose is 75 years old and showed us photos of her and her friends hula-dancing in Hawaiian outfits at the club they go to!!! She gave us another newspaper, which she hoped would be the one we found our future flat in, and Frank told us jokes and also gave advice on where to live. They even gave us their phone number because they want to know how our flat-hunting goes! We also witnessed the young IT guy searching the staffroom fridge for the source of an interesting smell, and throwing a bag of something that was dripping into the bin. I'll let Ben tell you more about the school's facilities etc, but in both our opinions they were superb! All in all, it was a very enjoyable and productive visit, and if I find a job with facilities and people as nice as ICC, I will be ecstatic!!
We then headed to the main street, High Street, as we'd been told there were lots of real estate agencies close together there. We are looking for a two-bedroom place (with visitors in mind – hint hint) that is fully or partly furnished. I'd already organised via phone one viewing for 4pm that afternoon, and by talking to the agents we organised another two, for 3pm and 5pm. So, off we set for our 3pm viewing. Well, what an adventure! By the time we found Copthorne Court, which was supposed to be on Tinsley Lane, we had asked half of Tinsley Lane for directions. Everyone “had a feeling it's just over/up/down there” but only the last person's feeling was right – and it wasn't on Tinsley Lane anyway; it was on the street we'd driven down to reach Tinsley Lane!!! Alas, we arrived 45 minutes late, by which time we confirmed with two young painters that Tom the real estate guy had been and gone. Anyway, on to the 4pm viewing! We arrived early, and this time the real estate agent couldn't get the key to unlock the door – she was already on the phone to her office by the time Ben had a go and opened it straight away! This flat was new, modern, and quite spacious. It certainly exceeded my expectations and is top of the list so far. At our 5pm viewing (also with a troublesome key), the flat had more character on the outside but was a little dingier inside. All three places have the same monthly rent, but it's the maximum amount we have in mind, so we plan on trying to find some more today (and perhaps asking Tom for a second chance!).
After this, we went to the County Mall (which we'd briefly been to earlier) and bought a SIM card for my mobile, so we now have a working phone! Ben should be getting a SIM card from TimePlan soon. We left the shopping centre with only one small incident along the lines of getting to the automatic ticket station and discovering that you do indeed need to have paid at the machine inside the centre! Ben stayed put (other cars drove through the second gate, so thankfully we weren't holding up a bunch of annoyed English drivers) and I ran back inside to pay. Lots of “live and learn” happening here!
We then came back to the Guest House and got ready to go out for tea. Observant readers may notice there was no mention of lunch: this was because we had eaten nothing since breakfast! Thank goodness for Jane's delicious big brekky! Anyway, we found a Thai restaurant near High Street, where we enjoyed a delicious meal of crispy roast duck with cashews and tamarind sauce, and special fried rice with king prawns. We then did some quick shopping at ASDA. And that brings us to the trip home during which I fell asleep repeatedly and awoke at every roundabout or touch of the brakes!
Now it's 20 minutes until breakfast. Today's plans include finding more flats, getting on the Internet somewhere so we can look at cars, and setting up a bank account (Jane's daughter works at a nearby HSBC – very handy!). Until later!

Typing in Taipei
Hello from Taiwan! We landed in Taipei about an hour ago and we are now in the computer room/gym of our stopover hotel, which is actually INSIDE the airport! It's currently 6:30pm here and two hours later than that in Australia. Luckily I can remember the location of the "sign in", "new post" etc buttons on Blogspot, as the screen I am looking at has only got Chinese characters on all the buttons!!
Jim dropped us off at the airport this morning (thanks!), and Delle was there to wave us through to Customs (thanks!). Our flight went well - it was about 9 hours, and I even managed to sleep a bit on and off. Despite getting to the airport at 7am this morning and being the very FIRST people in line to check in for our flight, we managed to be the very LAST people to board the plane - we actually got paged over the speakers!! :S We were sitting at a gate that wasn't in use, as the seats were full at ours, and I guess we both got sidetracked talking to our mothers to try to use up the remainder of our prepaid mobile credit. :) Anyway, we did make it and they actually weren't waiting for us to be able to take off, so it was all ok!
Taiwan looked awesome from the air - so ordered and neat - lots of small rectangular green fields (rice paddies?), square-shaped dams, houses, industrial estates and highways. The airport is very spacious and clean, like Changi Airport in Singapore, and has lots of fancy shops that we haven't explored yet. It has an incredible high roof with metal support rods criss-crossing everywhere. It's also quite hot here - the captain said it was 31 degrees outside when we were landing!
Our room is on the fourth floor of the airport and has a double and single bed, bathroom, air con, and a view of a highway and some buildings... so we're all set, apart from the slightly annoying fact that our luggage got checked through to London and we don't have any clothes (not even PJs) in our carry-on baggage, which is all we've got with us for tonight and until we land at Heathrow after our 17 hour flight tomorrow! But at least we have toothbrushes and toothpaste. :)
Ben is feeling quite smug about the surprise we were met with at the Transit/Transfer Desk here - namely, that our hotel for tonight is INSIDE the airport, meaning that we are not able to leave the airport and I therefore cannot count Taiwan as a country I have visited (as per our previously agreed rule - which worked in my favour when I implemented it). We've got a bit of a tally happening and I'm two countries behind him, but since he's been to Taiwan before and I haven't, I thought I was going to catch up by one tonight!!! :P :) (The accommodation was arranged by the airline, which is why we didn't know where we were staying until we got here.)
Anyway, I think that's a pretty good summary of today's events! Our flight leaves at 9am tomorrow morning, and we arrive in London at 7:15pm tomorrow (Tuesday) night, their time. We'll be in touch - cheerio!

The last post...
...from Australia!! In a bit over 6 hours we'll be waking up, getting ready and heading to the airport - it's all about to happen!!
Over the last few days, we've done a fair amount of socialising, said quite a lot of goodbyes and done lots of packing and weighing of bags. As an update to the earlier question of how we'll manage to take only 27 kg each for a 2.5 year holiday... not only have we achieved this, but our combined 54 kg includes about 12 kg of uni textbooks and Lonely Planet guidebooks! I (more so than Ben) have packed extremely few clothes. Obviously, clothes shopping is high of the list of priorities of things to do soon after we arrive (right after finding a place to live and getting a car, and probably before finding a job, as I'll need something to wear to it)!
Since it's now 6 hours and 5 minutes until I'll be getting up, I'd better keep this brief and get some sleep!
Aurgh! - tomorrow night we'll be sleeping in Taiwan, and the next night we'll be sleeping in England!!!!!! :D :D :D Goodnight!

Our next home...
Well, we're now at Jim and Jenny's place for our last almost-week in Australia!
Last night we finally organised (with the help of a TimePlan rep from Kent) somewhere to stay when we first arrive in England. This will be home for the first week or so, while we look for a flat to rent...
Caprice Guest House, Bonnets Lane, Ifield, Crawley, West Sussex
From their wesbite: "...situated in a rural country lane, surrounded by open fields and farmland..."
And it's only 2 kms from Ben's school! Looks gorgeous!! :)

Goodbye Bundaberg...
Well, it's offically over! We have now had our last weekend in Bundaberg for at least 2 1/2 years. Not to mention our last DAY in Bundaberg. We are now at David and Wendy's in Woodgate, en route to Brisbane before we fly out next Monday.
It ended up being a fairly busy last weekend, despite having very few fixed plans. One longstanding plan which finally eventuated was a visit to the Murphys out at Gin Gin (a family from which I taught most kids), to learn how to make the famed Murphy Chocolate Rum Balls (SOOOOOOOOO YUMMY). Recipe is as follows:
Ingredients:
- 1 chocolate cake worth of crumbs
- 2 cup of chocolate melts
- 1/3 cup of cream
- approximately 1 slurp of rum
- coating of choice (choc sprinkles, coconut, etc.)
Method:
1. Melt chocolate in double boiler (or equivalent) - DO NOT STIR UNTIL COMPLETELY MELTED.
2. Remove from heat and mix in cream.
3. Add rum.
4. Combine mixture with chocolate cake crumbs.
5. Form into balls.
6. Roll balls in desired coating.
7. Refrigerate.
Please note that the exact measurements above are not tested as yet and proportion of liquid mixture to crumbs may need some adjustment. Try it out and let us know how it goes! And thanks to Murphys for being so patient with me!
After extended cooking lessons at Murphys', we dropped by Staiers' to say hello/goodbye and pick up some mail (thanks Jodie :)), which pretty much filled in Saturday.
Meeting on Sunday (our last with Bevan and Bernice), then lunch at Jankes with Tim, Chany and Chany's Grandma Margaret, a quick visit to Anna's first tutoring family the McCrackens, then off to the mission. Lots of goodbyes after the mission from people we probably won't see for quite some time (except those who have promised to come visit us - you know who you are!). Then we got an invitation to tea with Colin and Olive, which meant VERY yummy cheese and tasty tacos. A quick visit back to Jankes' to say a final goodbye and our last weekend in Bundy was over. Then just one day (of WORK!) left!
