Brisbane this time!! Hey Guys, Well, I can't remember what I wrote in my last e-mail so sorry if I repeat myself... We've been in Brisbane for 2 weeks now and the task of finding a job is becoming harder and harder. Spent most of our time asking in shops, cafes, bars, clubs, pubs.. anywhere we could. Must have distributed about 100 C.V's too. Most places won't employ backpackers up here. The city's not atall geared up to backpackers as is Sydney. Sarah & I have resorted to drastic measures.... You know those people.. the annoying ones who stand on the street with a clipboard after your money? The ones who you see up ahead and immediately you cross to the other side of the road to avoid? Well yep, that's gonna be me. (I can hear you all laughing right now, so don't think I can't!!) On Monday we start fundraising on the street. Basically, trying to get people to sign up to give money to charity each month. If anyone had told me I'd be doing this a few months ago, I would never have believed it. (The things we do for money hey!?). So yeah, we'll see how it goes. Hope All's Well, especially in Cold, Rainy, Snowy Old England, Lots of Love from, Sunny, Hot & Humid Old Brisbane xxxxxxx
