Well im currently in a library in the Algarve portugal. Basically the Algarge is the GoldCoast of portugal, full of burnt English tourists wearing white socks and snadals..
its not that exciting.. Portugal sees thisplace as one of their selling points and its not really (well in comparison to Australian Beaches) they ahve alot of other cool stuff.. so if you come to portugal dont come just for the algarve..(and dont believe them when they say the water is warm...its not..its bloody cold..and this is summer!!) where i am is at a similar longitude to Tassi.. which explains the cold.. and why my ideas of hot/cold differ to those of europeans.
but yeah.. we went to see the most southerly point of Portugal.. aconcrete blockhouse.. well i think thats waht it was.. it was supposed to be cultural i think..(kinda in the way canberra iscultural).. but mainly we have been lazing around.. ive been looking for a book shop and trying to work out if $5 for the times is too much to pay to get updated on thenews (watching teh newsinportuguese iskinda frustrating.. i get justenogh to put together a story..but ill never know quite how far off the truth that sotry was.. )
more than tha not alot is haapening.. i spend my mornings by the pool.. getting a tan and possibly slightly roasted.. and then the afternoons reading.. (currently a book abdout the physics of society, an old Dr Who -foudna at junk fair- and the new harry potter -trust me it makes little sense when you skip the last 3) but yeah.. im jsut enjoying the peace.. next week things get hectic again.. im going to the portuguese meeting of young scientists (i will be the only non portuguese) and i ahve been warnded that these meetings can be pretty intense..
hmm.. i dont know what im doing next.. hopefully settling down with a job (not in the Uk if i can help it) come visit me if you want (when i know where i am) but it doesnt look like ill be able to visit anyone else soon (these things cost money, i have none.. so please dont be offended when i dont fork out a €100 ticket to visit soemone for a week, i dont ahve that luxury atm).. so. sorry guys..
thats really all for now.. as ever im in a rush.. and should be doing other things (damn..)
love and take care :)
