Title: :) Look! I'm a drifter!
Post by: Gloria The Camel on January 07, 2009, 12:33:02 AM
I am back again, in and out as always, perhaps I shall stay a little longer this time. Hope you all remember me!

Since last time, hmm, I've progressed as a person, built political beliefs, philisophical beliefs, but a lot more to learn.

Look forward to talking to you all more!


P.s. One thing more that has changed, I no longer live in Australia, I've been given the once in a life time opportunity to live in Venezuela for 12 months as an exchange student, I will complete my education here. It's a very different world I live in here, I've been here only two days and I'm already amazed and overwhelmed.

You are extra lucky since we (that means me) have declared this the year of the moose and camel (after the year of the duck last year). In other words there'll be lots of camel related activities (or at least pictures). :mrgreen:

I've only been in Caracas so far, and it is a city of beautiful contrasts, it is organised chaos.

I wrote my first impressions here (http://eliot-travels.blogspot.com)


*note the title of the blog  ;) I actually just put that there because I hated the old name, and I was just about to come here, so I thought "what the hell, that'll do" Now when i think about it, it seems quite fitting regarding my current situation!

Well hello E!
How's things.

What a fantastic opportunity you have- enjoy every moment and keep living life to the fullest. Doing any Parkour there yet?

Post by: Gloria The Camel on January 09, 2009, 12:18:50 PM
Thank you! I will!

I've done strength work here for it, but I haven't trained outside like normal because of the [legitimate] fear of being shot!

Jeez. Caracas sounds like an adventure. Great post, btw. :)

Oh it is! But scary when you don't speak the language. You feel helpless.
Title: Re: :) Look! I'm a drifter!
Post by: anthrobabe on January 10, 2009, 04:53:32 AM
Yes indeed be careful and I know what you mean about not speaking the language- weird, scary, odd, just plain freaked out awful is what that feeling is.

Post by: Gloria The Camel on January 10, 2009, 05:04:57 AM
Oh yeah, you can get yourself into all sorta werid stuff.

Today, I got dragged to a movie, 8 of us in the car (a 5 seater), driving is crazy in Ven, and then I had everyone trying to speak to me in Spanish! AHH! My head hurts a lot now.

Post by: Opsa on February 02, 2009, 08:10:38 PM
Well, I just translated it to Japanese and back again and got this:

"GtC! The behavior of thee of frum of Bac, with 催 促 git ye of fer of the debt of oi where the large box is long so is non value man dudette. Fire grate ta ' ave ye bac' laddie!"

I hope that clears it up.

Maybe Scrib needs it babelfished to Greek and back again:

GtC! The behavior of [esenas] frum [TSE], with 催 促 git YE of fer debt oi where the big box is long thus is dudette individuals of not value. Grill TA '? fire ave YE bac'? laddie!

Hello and welcome daryy, feel free to roam through the monastery rooms.

The only thing I must warn you about is the pirate's fish head stew, beyond that you should be OK.
