Finally I'm back on the internet! I hope you didn't miss me too much! Jean-Michel and I have been pretty busy this week! We have been hostel-hopping (a very competitive australian sport) and house hunting (another complicated sport) and seeing the city! Jean-Michel is feeling spiffy once again and is back on his feet, so we have been doing lots! We have eaten a lot of delicious food (and some not-so-delicious food as well...ask me about the every flavour soup.) and doing our best to see the sights on our budget. but most importantly! DUN DUN DUN..
we found a house!!! It was a bit of an ordeal, but it's all sorted out now! Finding housing in this city is ridiculous with an uppercase R. We posted a wanted ad outside of a bookstore and we called a lot of people, and the best one was an italian-american guy by the name of john. we went and saw the house and he liked us, so we're moving in tomorrow! YAY!!!! we had lunch with him today (he made us some pasta - of course! and we had some wine and it was a tasty treat) and he showed us more around the house and gave us our keys. Pictures will be up soon!
Other than that, Jean-Michel and I have been doing as many free things as there are to do in this city (like...taking the tram. which isn't actually supposed to be free), but yesterday we spent our money at the museum which was a good time! And last night we had a hankering for some vietnamese food, but, to our disappointment, we didn't find one (that's so weird!) but it turns out we ate one of our best meals so far at a thai place and we didn't regret it. other highlights of the week were picnicking out with jessica, jon (her fiance) and erin, hanging out with shannon, libby and tom and figuring out this crazy city! It is very busy and nobody seems to notice if you're in their path, so we must look hilarious always getting out of everyone's way. We both agree that this city is like West Edmonton Mall..but outdoors. so...really busy.
anyways, we miss you all in a terrible way! and if you were here, we would be giving you all enormous hugs and smooches!

I will write again soon! (I know I said that last time..but I will!)

love love love,

Lisa and Jean-Michel

How warm has it been there? I bet it's beautiful! Have you seen any kangaroos or other wildlife yet? I'll have you know that I've been having my own little experience with wildlife in my very own house!! We have mice!! yuck! I'm very grossed out.

Anyways, keep posting and keep having a blast! Miss you!!!!!!!!!
