Settling in at work

First weeks work is almost over, I have two desks, one in the Earth Science Geography building and one in the Oceans Institute.

The Earth Science office I share with Alex and Delphine. Alex is from Tasmania and Delphine from France. Really nice colleagues, we have lunch together in the small amphitheater garden on campus.

There is a Tropical garden in front of the Earth Science building, huge Palm trees. Only animals to spot so far are birds, mainly Parrots in various colours and huge birds that try to steel your lunch.

The Earth Science building is beautiful, kind of Oxford-like style. Its probably one of the oldest buildings in entire Perth...well, 100 years is old over here...the Oceans Institute is a new building, but all new facilities and friendly atmosphere...we will have drinks today at 4.30pm as every first friday of the month, good chance to socialize with everybody I did not meet yet...socializing friday's is a must...the Beer is incredibly cheap, just 2 Dollars, in a Pub it is 7-10 Dollars, no kidding...lunch comes at 10 Dollars...lucky to have a higher salary, will see how much we have left at the end of the month. Well, still lot's to explore on campus, its huge.
