The power of beaches (Sydney - Bondi)

After another unsuccessful day of job hunting I was ready to make a decision, I am going to move on this coming Saturday to the Blue Mountain. It seems that only street sales and fund raising jobs are available for an immediate start. Hospitality jobs are rare at the moment and I can’t wait any longer as my money is running low.
After I got up this morning I decided to head to the Bondi Beach and enjoy the scenery there. First I went to the Paddy’s Market and looked at the stalls…I would buy so much if I would have the money and space…




Blue sky and the sun made this day even more enjoyable. After approximately a half hour bus ride I arrived at a very stunning and beautiful beach, where the surfers were laying in the water waiting for the next big wave to ride on. I strolled along the beach and let my thoughts take over.

This journey was meant to help me making some decisions for my life. Where do I want to be in a few years, what kind of career shall I get. What options do I have? Instead so far the journey is only giving me more and more questions.

Who am I? Why am I here? Am I happy? And even more questions I could not answer at this time.  I like to observer people and you can see that most of them belong to a group created by society. We have the beach babes, the gothics, the punks, the surfers, the business ladies etc. (you get the point). Every group has their name and somehow I don’t see myself belonging to any of these. So where do I belong?

Well that was just a little insight of what is going on in my head. Sounds a bit crazy, doesn’t it? I really should start enjoying myself more and relax…

Well now I am sitting at the lookout platform near Bondi beach in the sun and writing my blog, a blog that became very important to me. Not only do I share my journey with friends and family and keep them up to date of what happen in my life but also it is a diary I am going to look at in ten years with hopefully great memories. I know already that I will not regret this journey and certainly I would do it again.

I look at the waves splashing against the stones, breaking and flowing away again. The water looks like candy cotton, something you want to bath in. At a second look it looks more like haven, something I would love to live next to, but then again for how long until I get tired of it and want to see something else? Is there any place out there I ever will be happy to live for the rest of my live? It certainly is a day full of thoughts and another day of my life.









A little bit later and the thoughts changed again…

I met up again with a friend and we had some lovely dinner at a Taiwanese restaurant, I tried the pineapple fried rice and it was delicate in its taste. The pineapple tea with it was a good choice; it reminded me of the time in Thailand :) It was a very fancy restaurant where you could order from the table via a touch screen computer, so much fun.



Even though I had to be careful with money spending I had to enjoy life as much as possible. In the end, if it is not working out I will return and maybe start again at another time…I’ve done it once I am sure I can do it again.
Afterwards we went to Max Brenner a chocolate restaurant where they serve the most delicious brownie I ever had and a great cappuccino made me realise that I actually have such a good life with a lot of friends out there. I have to keep that in mind when I let my thoughts take over next time. Thank you C. for such a great evening, you are a very lovely and great person :D





Highly motivated I headed home and excited about tomorrow. Another day with great new experience is waiting for me.




Good night everyone.
