It’s business time!
My uncle always flies business class. He swears by it, it’s his one treat for the labours he puts into the Farm. When I said one day I hoped to indulge in a business class fare and have the means to back it, little did I know my dreams would be granted so soon. Thanks […]
Melbourne City
Stepping off the coach into Melbourne City, yes city, my heart skipped a beat. Are those people? Is that a department store? Starbucks? Is this heaven?

My job along with other travelers has been sorting the ugly carrots and packing, riveting stuff. I […]
