Week 1 Darwin

I arrived at approx 1am on Thursday morning in Darwin. The heat shocked my system, and the airport smelt like Singapore. In fact, this whole place reminds me of home in terms of the coconut trees and all the greenery, and the TEMPERATURE and humidity. When the wind blows, it is not cold. You don't even need to use hot water to shower. The "wet" season was just over, so no more torrential rains till the end of the year! woot woot! but I hear that the mornings can be a little bit chilly as "winter" is around the corner...

I must say I have been very blessed to have Julie come with me...because arriving in the middle of the night in this area is a little bit scary I must say...we had the best couple of days together, going to the outdoor deckchair cinemas to watch a really cute Hindi movie...it was awesome! We literally walked the entire city of Darwin. The sunset is simply beautiful...

And there is only ONE mall here - and its the ONLY mall in the Territory...so I guess I will be making trips down to the east coast for clothes..hehe

I start work this Monday, so all very exciting..my first job - something that I have been praying for for a long long time...so I'm pumped! :)
