So I have now been over here in Brisbane for almost three weeks. Life is pretty good.
One thing I must say though is the amount of effort and stress you go through moving to a new country. Moving house in the same country just does not compare!. It is far simpler trust me!
The great thing is once you have gone through the process once it just gets easier and easier – This is probably due to the fact that you end up keeping all your immigration paperwork together.
The journey I am on started some time ago. My interview seems like it was an age away – In fact it is almost three months ago now.
The job has started with earnest and in between getting my head around the project I’ve been trying to find somewhere to live and trying to fit in a touch of sight seeing. And of course I must not forget the usual financial and governmental stuff – which to be honest is a pain in the rear. This is compounded further by not having somewhere permanent to live.
I am also trying to plan the next six months of my life. I have to fit in at least one trip to China at the end of September, a trip back to NZ in November and of course the trip back to the UK in December. I also have to fit in a trip to Australia Zoo, which is just up the road.
It’s all Go!
