		<description><![CDATA[Since I decided to stay here and my company agreed to sponsor an application for a business visa, I&#8217;ve become reacquainted with the many and varied joys of trying to gather disparate items from various authorities.  The requirements for a 457 visa application aren&#8217;t unreasonable, but there certainly are a lot of hoops to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Australia day means different things to different people.  For many, it&#8217;s a nice family day out with facepainting and fireworks.  For others, it&#8217;s just a welcome extra day off.  But for the vast majority, it&#8217;s an excuse (as if they needed one) for beer, BBQs and the beach.  I was keen [...]]]></description>

This year, through a series of adverts on TV, everyone is being encouraged to Vote Lamb.  The address on the front page has been broadcasting in prime time for the last couple of weeks - I guess [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday was another day, another cricket defeat.  I can hardly wait for the inevitable ironic cheers on Monday at work.  I was out last night for a friend&#8217;s birthday at a local bar, when who should walk in but our fallen heroes.  Freddie Flintoff, Ian Bell, Mal Loye and a couple of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I got some Aussie change after buying lunch today and was reintroduced to just how heavy the coins are here.  Despite the brilliance of virtually unrippable, washable plastic notes, coins are still the size of England&#8217;s in the 80s.  The 50c piece is so big I can&#8217;t fit more than 3 in my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I infamously failed to climb Mt. Fuji last year, so what possessed me to climb a glacier I don&#8217;t know.  I would have felt reassured seeing the elderly and children also attempting it, were it not for the fact that a bunch of primary schoolkids climbed Fuji a couple of days before I did.

		<description><![CDATA[In Manchester, you have the curry mile, a semi-misnomered kilometer stretch of curry houses and jewelery shops.  In the same vein, Hokatika could be the Jade Square Mile.  From the quaint little clocktower in the town centre, all you can see down each road are jade workshops interspersed with craftstores, glassblowing centres and, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I only decided to come on this trip relatively recently, so all my flights are different to Amy&#8217;s the friend I&#8217;m travelling with.  Somehow, the cheapest flight to Christchurch I could find was with Emirates, whose service and entertainment was so good that for the first time ever, I wished my flight was longer.

		<description><![CDATA[Another day, another world-famous beach, this time Manly.  But, honestly, it&#8217;s hard to see why.  The ferry ride out from Circular Quay was lovely but the place itself is a cove and a beach connected by a mall with shops by the hundreds designed to bleed you dry as efficiently as possible.

		<description><![CDATA[One of my New Year&#8217;s Resolutions, (along with 30 million lapsed bloggers, I imagine), is to start writing here again.  In Japan, I felt like I had lots to write about, but in Australia not so much, especially since I began working full-time in Brisbane.  There are already thousands of people writing about [...]]]></description>
