Been In Australia for 5 years and a veterinarian for over 6 months already!

Hope everyone is doing well out there. I cannot believe how much time has gone by. I know we had a glitch on the website that said it was corrupted but that is fixed now. I hope it does not happen again. The job is still going great. I work Monday to Friday with Wednesday afternoons off. I have two nights on call and work one weekend in 4 so it is not too bad.

Good news and bad news...

So I just arrived in Melbourne! Yay... 15 hours 20 mins flight down to 14 hour or so. Bumpy, but otherwise okay. Definitely a bonus now that most long flights have those interactive TVs to provide with some amusement. The winding customs line was kinda not something to look forward to after such a long flight!

900/1800 GSM, unlocked and ready to go!

I just wonder how reception'll be with it though. A cousin told me that phone models might be affected in terms of the quality of the call. Is that true? Well...at least I'll be able to use it instead of devoting to a plan for now! That means $$ saved?? I hope..
