australian in waiting

I had a brief stopover in Singapore on my way out here, before arriving, trailing my usual clouds of glory, in the middle of October. Bryan, then Brian & Darren were my wonderful hosts for the first few months while I got onto my own two feet. As much as it was great to be back in Sydney, I felt unsettled for a long time: never properly unpacked, not working, not even sure if I would have a visa to work for the longest time. Luckily I had a safety net of friends around me to help me get through uncomfortable times.
