the manhood...

It's been a while, i haven't updated this stuff for a month...Fortunately it has been a busy one,with many things to do...
well I always thought that I had to settle here before enjoying completely the life.I kind of do it or on my way to do it....after 3 weeks seeking for a job via internet and employment agencies i realized that i'm here to enjoy my stay and i can't afford to loose time so i simply decided to earn money!so i'm currently working in 3 places: a sushi bar some week ends,in a shop under my place (it's really downstairs,the door beside mine!!!!)so i can wake up 10 min before starting!!!lol and as Italian teacher (yeah i'm a kind of teacher with my own students!!!!!) and coordinator.

It takes me much time,but i'm proud and glad of the experience that i'm gettin' in 3 different fields...

This is my first footy match at MCG,the Aussie's biggest stadium!I'm getting interesting in this sport,but only when i watch the match at the stadium

And eventually i touch a kangarou!well let's say stroken,fed,ridden and....eaten!not this one in the pic below but kangarou meat....so tender!

Pics without greetings....greetings coming soon!

Hey!I'm back in Melbourne after one week in Tassie land! And guess what...I traveled as another person,yeah I was Carmelo Siciliano as you can see in the pic (yeah the photo in the badge it's me)! In the beginning that fly was booked for another person,a girl, that's why I used that name....cool!

Tasmania is a really easy country,easy people and nature and hills...quite similar to Colli Euganei hihi

I was there with Karla,Kellie,2 coworkers of mine and 2 guys from Sydney...We lived in a kind of bungalow,it seemed to be in summer vacation!

the old man in the pic was the manager of the bungalows,really lovely and kind person,he used to leave us a bottle of milk in front of the door wvery morning and....a bottle of wine in the evening.lol

Anyway we worked all the week,celebrating just the friday night...but it was juicy!(I also threw up....but i wasn't the only one!)
for the rest I got a great first day with good sales but not during the rest of the week...so I finally decided to resign and i'm a job hunter again!!!!

Tazzie Tazzie Tazzie!!!!

Van Diemen's land....is a U2's song and the way European used to call Tasmania, the first penal colony in Australia.

When am I talking about Tazzie?Cause I'm going there the next week with my job team!

That means that I'm still working for them...yeah in fact this will be the third week,I had the opportunity to visit many places close to Melbourne and the landscapes are always amazing!

Sincerely I haven't got many sales last week,not as musch as I expected but I won 100$ during the Friday morning games in the office...We use to play a game on Friday before working,the aim is to motivate people,improve the team collaboration.The game was musical chair,do you remember when you were children?Exactly,the same game but with 20s 30s 40s and 50s years old people!

Yesterday we have been to Phillip Island (or Penguin Island if you prefer...hihi)to see the...Penguin Parade! actually every evening around 5.30 pm these small cute penguin step out from the sea to go through the beach to sleep...They're so cute,since they're the smallest penguin species,they go in and out the sea before moving towards their beds!

Unfortunately we were not allowed to take pics,but maybe i can show you a video soon...

On Friday Juventus was here in Melbourne for its asian tour and they played at the Telstra Dome, 200m far from my place!

Docklands was really full of supporters and the most amazing thing was that I watched the match in my place on Fox Television,while they where playing just beside me!

Anyway...I've been staying here for 1 month!It's been really really quick and I feel that I have to live every single moment in the best way I can...

Working 14 hours a day

G'day mates!well,maybe it's better good night...
I wanna tell you 'bout the last week...
As you maybe know i started a job in a Thai restaurant (actually only the waitress are Thai,the owner,the chefs and all the other people are Vietnamese!). I'm a kitchenhand,Iprepare the dishes with all the ingredients before the chef cook them and I coordinate the sous chef.Interesting,isn't it? Actually it's less than what it seems...I'm not well paied,actually i earn half of a normal waitress here...and i speak only vietnamese....but it was the only place that wanted to hire me...so the only way to make money!:-)

Meanwhile I went on with my research and yesterday i made an interview with a marketing and sales company...I 've been there also today for the second interview and for the evaluation day...
Basically after 1 hour of "class" they picked me up in a car and we started a direct marketing campaign,stopping in all the industries and trying to find someone interested in buy something or make a donation for something....
Actually it's so weird,I have never tried to sell anything in Italy,and i'm trying to do it now,in English!

During the day i also tried to convince a potential customer speaking!
At the end of the day i had an interview with a manager and the fially decided to call me for a training week,to see if i'm suited for this job...crossing finger ( I mean,it's not really my stuff,but I can learn many things....)

After this (from 8.30 ti 17.00) i ran to the Thai Restuaurant to start my old job (from 17.30 to 23)!
Anyway...the reason why I haven't applied in an Italian restaurant was to avoid to speak italian and...with this job as kitchenhand I spoke vietnamese...
So that's why I'm trying this new experience as a seller,even if i know that it is not my stuff and that it would be hard also in Italian!
But it's good for my English and to work with some Aussies....so,let's start this new challenge!

job seeking

well I arrived in Melbourne on friday so almost one week ago... After the week end i started looking for a job,yep something to afford my stay here in Aussie! I knew since the beginning that find something related to my studies wouldn't have been easy and in fact i left my resumes to sushi bars and retail shops lol.

I'm waiting for someone for calling me, i feel like i'm wasting my time here doing nothing...I mean there are several things to do here in Melbourne but...as Beate said "do your duty first and then enjoy yourself, that's the german mind". Oh my god,am i becoming a german?! hihi No, it's just that I don't wanna act as a visitor,not now.... I've had my first official interview this morning in a language school.

This is the story: yesterday while i was waiting to cath the tram to go back home i saw this school at the corner of the street so i thought "why not try there?!" and so I did. I have to recognize that Australian are really polite and kind,the secretary welcomed me with a great smile!she asked about me and i told her"actually i'm looking for an English course,but at the same time i look for a job...".She replied"Your english is very good!on the other hand we don't need an italian teacher now...anyway I make you an appointment with the coordinator tomorrow".

So I talked with the coordinator,a lady with german origin who explained me the courses of the school...She told me "your english is very good" as well and she was well surprised that I know three other languages Really funny,she said :"Here In Australia if you know 3 words you're beginner,if you know 4 words you're intermediate and if you know 5 words you're advanced, since Aussies speak only English! lol Anyway while she was talking i thought "ok,stop compliment with me and give me a fucking job!"


And finally here's the point:as Roy,the scottish guy that we met during the ocean road trip, told me, it's hard to be hired with an working holyday visa...they ask for a permanent one... However she told me she would have kept my resume if things change....


The Telstra Dome, the Australian Football League stadium beside my place


How to solve this big Rubik cube?! lol
