Hello everybody!

After so long time without having news from us, Camille and me are still alive!

I will write in english because there is so too much people to translate it to spanish and french.

History of our trip:

For the people who doesn't know, I quite France and the lovely french riviera to begin a new adventure with my french girlfriend Camille.
We left our jobs, appartaments and friends and we decide to move somewhere around the world... and we chose farest place :D New Caledonia island.

**** Why this trip? ****
because we are young and wanted to meet a new culture and enviroment. We chose NC because they speak french as it is "a kind of french country".
For Camille, working as nurse, will be easier to find a job. And for me, I thought I will not have problems to find something related with computers.

**** The trip ****
Two main scales: Bangkok in Thailand and Sydney in Australia

11 hours flying from London to Bangkok in a huge Boing 747 with an excelent service by Qantas: good food, individual TV with plenty of new films, tv series, games, etc.

** Bangkok
Arriving to Bangkok we had to handle the jetlag :) tired during the day, and we couldn't sleep until 3 in the morning.
We had book a Deluxe room for 35 euros per night: large, with bathroom, very clean, satelite tv, full equiped and a huge buffet for breakfast!! The people in the hotel where very amable.

Lot's of intersting things surprised me from the capital of Thailand:
- Everybody has a smile in his face and the treat very politely. Comerciants want to trade with you, they try BUT they don't insist, not like in Spain, Turkey or Tunisia, where they don't leave you at all until they have sold you something.
- Everybody was very happy that you selected Thailand for your holidays. Lot of people asked us if we where celebrating our holy moon :)
- The huge and irregular grow of the city where you can find giant buildings close to a very poor area.
- The city is very poluated, with lot of taxis, tuk tuks and motos. With their crazy driving it is a funny expirence to take a tuk tuk.
- And the contrast.... the contrast between the polution and the noisy roads with the peacefull and extremly calm budism temples spread all around the city. Fantastic!
I could understand the spanish sentence: "un trabajo de chinos" for the high detail level of everything made for these temples: roofs, columns, the budas, scultres, walls... everything manually decorated!

It was a shame that we did't have time to go out from the city and visit the countryside in the north of Bangkok. Next time will be.

** Sydney
After 9 more hours flying we landed into Australia. After having some trubles with my Chorizos imported from Spain, we met my friend Frabrice, that I met in Grenoble when working for Bull and now living la vida loca in this great city that is Sydney.

We took a siesta, and then we went 3 days to the south to visit some of the wonderful places of Australia: large long beaches with white sand and some surfers and the BBQs (barbacoas) ! their extens national parks where we could drive through their forest, touch sauvage canguroos, see different types of coulored birds. I had the sansation to be in the middle of the wild nature.
We did 2 barbaques one of them where I prepared escalivada! :D
Next day we visited Sydney. Very nice city, clean, without homeless in the street because the government takes care of them, with less polution that Bangkonk.
We visited the Accuarium, the famous Opera, the city center with their big buildings.
Australia, magnifique place either to live or spend some months in holidays traveling around.

** And finally.... la Nouvelle Caledonie!!! **
The first aproach to NC was bad :S it was raining and our flight couldn't land the first time, no panic, the second try was fine.
We are living in a youth hostel and trying to find an appartment or studio, no easy task because there is a lot of people searching.
In two days, Camille found a good job in the main Hospital. My lovely Camille is a crack!
For me it is a little bit more complicated, because I need a special working visa in order to be able to work here. To get this visa I need a job contract, and then it can take between 1-3months to get this visa. Burocracy...
Even like that, I have started looking for job last Monday and was not bad!
I prepared my CV and the first 2 mails that I sent I have got 2 answer the same day!! 100% of effectivity. :)
I arranged a meeting with company one of these companies and figure out who was the manager of the company... a tunisian guy! jajaj hello my friend!
The tunisian wanted to take me as soon as possible, but he told me that for the visa will take 1 month at least. So I´m pending for his call back.
Yesterday I went to send another CV to the adminstration and... BINGO! they have an excellent to post to work as Software Architect! Oh my god!
They are very intersted in my profile, they will try to find somebody else next 2 weeks and with some chance... I will get an dream job and very well payed and working for the administration.
They offer a contract for 1 year to replace a guy. I will explain you more about this job if I get selected. Let's prai.

Yesterday, Camille and me celebrated that we have been 1 year together :)

Bon my friends and familly, we will miss you all and a lot (a lot, a lot, a lot!). Don't worry about us, everything is going well.
Internet connection is slow, so not a lot of pictures by now.

Hope everything is going well for you and to receive some news of what is being cooked up there: your plans, trips, what have happened, histories, etc...

We keep in touch!

Camille & Jordi.
