Down Under

Brian and I celebrated 8 months together last week with this 'Chocolate Thunder from Down Under'. It's a brownie, ice cream, and whipped cream (supposedly), drizzed in chocolate sauce; the signature dessert at Outback Steakhouse. Don't worry, it's only the second time we've had it in 8 months. It was definitely a celebration of calories, but totally worth it.

Speaking of Down Under, we're planning on going there soon. Yes, I'm happy to say I won't be returning to Canada come December. We're going to Australia together for ... a few months after we finish in Korea. A few months being at least 6 and possibly 9. I do intend to be home for Christmas 2007...

Our good friend Dave (seen in the paragliding pics) is going to host us for our first few weeks and give us a proper introduction to his country. We'll then do the working holiday thing. I like the idea of working for a month and then taking a month off to play. After a vacationless year in Korea, I think I deserve a break.

So I'm counting down the days. Less than 100 left in this country, and less than 60 teaching days. Sweet! I know time flies here, so it'll be over before I know it.
