So, I move into a share house tomorrow (Friday). It's in South Perth, just across the river from downtown. There are 5 or 6 bedrooms in the house, plus a tv room, kitchen, laundry, outdoor patio/barbeque, etc. It's nice and close to the bus route and other important things like a 24hr convenience store and a video rental place. Since I'm sharing a room (with a German girl I met at the hostel), it's a very cheap place to live.

Also on Friday, I go for a trial for a job. It sounds a bit strange, but I'd be an aquarium assistant at a fish and chip's place in Fremantle. Not looking after the fish for eating but they have a big aquarium set-up and offer school touch pool/beachcombing workshops. Basically, I'd be cleaning the tanks, feeding the fishies, and looking after the school groups. And a few other things that will require snorkelling (collecting seaweed and cleaning the sand filter). The shop is called Cicerello's. It sounds like, as long as I like it and they like working with me tomorrow, I'll have a job starting Monday.

I'm booked in to go for a refresher diving course on Sunday. I'll do two dives on Rottnest Island with an instructor. Since I wanted to dive Rottnest anyways, it works out perfectly. And then I'll be all ready to go for diving up North. And also the other aquarium staff go diving after work sometimes.

That's about all I've got going on right now. Nothing too touristy lately. And once I've got photos of the house, I'll do a picture post with the other few Perth photos I've taken so far.

Happy Spring Break to everyone who's got a break! And I hope all you SW people are surviving it okay!
