Leaving Cairns

So today, I'm leaving Cairns after having been here for over 2 months! It's sure gone quickly, but it's also been a lot of (sweaty) fun! I'm actually coming back next weekend for a couple days before flying to Sydney but I won't be working or back in my room. I'll be back as a 'tourist'. Finished up work last night, then went out with Lindsay and the gang last night. And then this morning, after a late start and some coffee, we cleaned and packed up our room. And now, in about an hour, we'll be getting on the greyhound bus to start our adventures! But I'll save tales of our adventures for after we've had them...

So, now, in list form, things I'll be taking with me from Cairns:

- if you blur your eyes a bit, all rainforests look alike.
- there can be no one in Germany between the ages of 18 and 25, because they're all here.
- hot, tropical climates are only meant for vacations, not for working.
- it is possible to drink water all day at work and still get dehydrated.
- carrots make the world go 'round.
- I know 2 ways to fold fitted sheets.
- Bernard Fanning (lead singer of Powderfinger) can solve most problems.
- and if he can't, coffee can.
- there are some countries where it's okay to start drinking at noon.
- the 'cafe smell' is international.
- it is possible to save a lot of money by watching movies every night.

Overall, Cairns has been an awesome place, except for the heat and humidity, and I'll miss the people I've met here a lot!

Hopefully, I'll update with the tales of some scuba diving next weekend! Miss you all lots (but scarily, I'll be home in 5 weeks!).
