Now when I look back, it is a bit funny, what I went through last couple months. Sleeping on the beaches of Gold Coast for about 2 weeks, staying with that lady after Christmas. Then finally we had an agreement that I m going to find my own place as I got job as a security. So it was when I went to library in Southport, it was very stormy day. All the news forecasted some heavy rain and flood. So I m at library and this lady comes down and says:
"Leo, look there s all your stuff here, you remember? It s Sunday and you promised you move out on Sunday."
"But it raaiins..!!!" I was shocked.
She really took all my stuff, put them on trolley and brought them to library.
Couldn t she just say it to me? I could have done it myself. My phone s battery I remember was flat, not only, it was broken I thought because of the rain. I was speachless. Just couple days ago I met another guy who had his unique furniture business near to Chevron island. I promised I get some girl to work for him as an administrator and he gives me a place to sleep in return. So that was an option I could think of only.
I went there for couple days, then rent a room on Vista street in sharehouse with some argentinians, spanish, germans, dutch, kiwis, ozzies, canadians, korean and some another estonian too. I loved that place, I was there for a week. It was just very next to the ocean. Couple hundred metres from the ocean.
I kept working on the weekend, but then one weekend I was off. I decided to apply new passport as I lost it in Perth like a year ago and more, and thought why not to apply it now, when I have time.
So I came down to Sydney, applied new passport, but I also applied for another job here. So many things I have had to think of.
Yes, now when I look back, I slept on the beaches, stayed with that lady - all these crazy things hoping to get sponsorship from my job. And then after working 5-6 weeks for the company, they say that they can t offer sponsorship.
I m like..I spent 1000 dollars for the Security license, had this interesting experience on the beach. My friend, who worked for the company, was positive that they can offer the sponsorship. The company just wanted to fill up the papers for him just before the Christmas, just like couple months ago and now they can t do it..
New changes in the law in new year?
I don t need answers, I need solutions. So I realised it doesn t work out anyway. Came down to Sydney, applied for new job and will start tomorrow as a crew member on the Sydney Tall Ships. These ships look like the ships of the Pirates of the Carribean.
Tomorrow I can bring my bags and stuff on the board. Move in tomorrow and start working on Thursday. Today is Tuesday. Now I have only 3 months to go until my visa expires. I m not sure what s gonna be after that, but I don t worry about that. Life is adventure. Adventure by adventure.
