Things happen in dorms...
It's been a busy couple of days for me. Things were going really well, me enjoying myself and the city, finding nice dance classes, meeting some people, even my back doing pretty OK. When things are that great you know something's about to happen. So this saturday when coming back to the hostel from a hot lazy day at the pool, I found that my phone/camera/mp3-player-all in one amazing machine was gone. First I thought someone in the dorm had just misplaced it, but it soon became clear it wasn't to be found, and that we had other things missing from our dorm as well. As I know of, a total of 3 cameras, 2 mp3-players, one laptop and my machine were stolen by someone who just walked in from the street, grabbed the things and propably already sold them onwards. (Here I have to say that it was the first and last time ever that I left the phone in a dorm charging, only cos the battery was flat empty.)Life's hard without any means of contacting anyone or any numbers for anyone, I didn't even have an alarmclock or watch! Not to mention the light I used to read books in bed when the lights were out in the dorm... So the next morning I slept til 10, cos nothing woke me up! (I had plans before that) Went looking for my phone in the pawn shops a few blocks away, but no luck so far. Now Im hoping to get something back from the insurence, but we all know how fast that works. And the numbers to the people I've met in Australia, the pictures on my memory card and a lot of other things stored on my phone I wont ever get back. I even had to close my internet bank codes, cos I had a pic of them on the phone! God knows when I'll get new ones, not being able to show up at a bank in Helsinki myself.
I was lucky enough to have already arranged to go and meet Raine at the farm, and the amazingly kind people who he "works" for (lives with) managed to lend me a phone for a week (I now use my finnish number again) and let me use their computer and phone to try to arrange things. Thay also let me stay as many nights as I wanted, fed me, let me rest, showed me around, took me to some wineries with tastings and drove me back to Melbourne! Thanks to them I'm a totally new person again and have the energy needed to try to find a new phone and some means to pay for it. So life's back on track =) And the farm is great, but that's Raine's bit to tell you about!
As my aussie number does not exist anymore, sms will reach me at +358505306415.

Auts, ikävä juttu toi varkausepisodi kaikkine selvittelyineen. Ihanaa kuitenkin kuulla, että voitte hyvin ja nautitte elämästä muuten! Kuvia on ollut kiva selailla ;)
Terkkuja myös mun perheeni miehiltä!
Hei Carina!
Toivottavasti saat asioitasi järjestetyksi. Autan täältäkäsin niin paljon kuin voin.

Moi Marianna,
Vai molemmilta miehilta? ;) Sain rahaa vakuutuksesta!! Toimikin tosi nopeasti, pitais varmaan muuttaa mun hiukka kritisoivaa tekstia.
Ostin just ebaysta uuden puhelimen, piiitkan miettimisen jalkeen tuli valittua nokian N80. (Tassa on mennyt nettaillessa ihan kiitettavasti aikaa, eilen ne joutui melkein heittamaan mut ulos kun global gossip sulki klo 12 =))
Se wlan yhteys kiinnosti, vois istua kahviloissa ja nauttia ilmaisesta nettiyhteydesta ihan vaan puhelimesta. Saas nahda kuinka pelittaa... ja koska saapuu, Sydneysta matkalla kuulemma.
Terveiset takaisin miehille =)
Carina
Pirjo,
Nyt on tosiaan puhelin lainassa, uusi liittyma hankittu ja minulle tulossa uusi puhelin postissa varmaan ensi viikon alussa. Eli paremmin menee. Mutta se pankkijupakka on viela kesken, mailailen sinulle heti kun tiedan miten niiden koodien kanssa tehdaan. Ihana kun on joku joka auttaa siella kotopuolella, kiitos!
Carina
Tosi hieno homma, että vakuutusasiat järjestyivät! Kuulostaa hyvältä toi sun uusi puhelin, ehkä tästä episodista seuraakin jotain hyvää, kun pääset raportoimaan meille suoraan lattelasin ääreltä ;)
Terkkuja keväisestä Suomesta, takatalvea odotellessa...
your comments were far too flattering for our farm. You forgot to mention that you very proffesionally painted our office. We miss you both and it was a pleasure to have you stay and saying "good bye" wasn't easy. Just for the records the spikey thinks are echidnas not KIDNEYS.
Lots of love and good wishes for your travels.
Viki and Barry. PS the horse still calls for you
