We live, and that's news
Bondi.
Australia! It’s pretty chilly here. Lovely though. It feels like I’ve been here for a few weeks now. Alright, recap:
Arrived yesterday-morning, my place is up the hill in Bondi Beach, the view from the massive balcony and my room-window: the surf. The very nice woman I’m staying with has this board she never uses, and I can walk to the surf in about, uhm, let’s calculate, bus, train, metro, yeah, about 39 seconds. On average though. Waahaa so yesterday I ran with a board and my new wetsuit on bare feet down the street and then hit the famous Bondi Beach. Have I ever said ‘I am a surfer’? If I did, I apologize. From now on, ask me again, I’ll give you ‘No, but hey, I’d love to not suck’. Yesterday, I got my ass handed to me. It was like surfing for the first time again, I swallowed a liter or 6, I got mangled, slapped, beat, basically, the ocean had a good laugh. At my expense. And I loved it. Man, after physically having a hard time in both India (hello toiletbowl, haven’t seen you in 8 minutes) and Tokyo (I’ll sleep when I’m dead), my body is pathetically weak. This will change. Now at an insane gym with ocean view (of course) and surfing everyday. Magical. The sun at the end of the day is so low, and the waves so big you can temporarily get in the shade of the wave.
My agency is very nice, had the day off almost yesterday and went tourist: went to the Opera House, the different harbors, went on the BulletThunderMadWowThatsFast-type of boat for half an hour, with amazing views, and basically just had a blast. Today I had 7 go-sees, which took quite a lot out of my foot, the right one for a change, since I injured my heel last week at a shoot due to an amazing gift my father gave me: night-blindness. Went from sunshine outside to downstairs into a club. Saw nothing. Yes, I also didn’t see the stairs.
Nice little fact: LiveNews has now officially been brought to you from six continents. Within four years. Not too shabby
Tomorrow it’s tv-commercial time, with an apparently very famous American girl, but I am not sure what her name is. She’s an actress, from a series called The OC. Saw it once, she’s the tall pretty one haha I’m sure I’ll be making an ass out of myself.
The moon is ridiculously big here. With that fact or illusion, I’m going to bed. Catching up on sleep here.

Cannot believe you are doing a commercial with Mishca! That is crazy! Read the email i’ve just sent to you….its in afrikaans, but you will understand why when you read it. I am SICK and TIRED and on Miami airport after terror plots for mass murder and a 6 hour delay in the aircraft before takeoff! Other than that my friend, I am sooo happy for you, and come back to the states that I can see you!
