I'm not jet-lagged, noooot at all :S
I thought I had the timezone-change done pretty well, I left Stockholm at 14:30 (swedish time) to reach Bangkok at 00:50 (swedish time), so I didn't even make an effort to sleep at that flight. The flight to Melbourne was between 03:10 and 12:00 (swedish time), by wich time I was crazy tired and managed to get 4-5 hours of sleep between meals. Enough to make it of the plane at 20:00 (australian time) without falling asleep, but little enough to go to sleep once I had gotten to my new room and unpacked the most essential stuff. so I got up at 09:30 yestarday, and it seemed like I had aquired an accepteble day-rythm.. so far, so good.
Yesterday I didn't go to sleep until 4 am since I got stuck with facbook, skype, and wasn't all that tired, wich would have been fine if I hade slept the normal 8-9 hours. Imagine how shocked I was to see the clock turn 7 pm when I i awoke!
So, no pictures from today, it was pitch black once I got out. The darkness in fact will take me some time to get used to. As soon as you get out of the 10 or so CBD blocks where offices in high-rise buildings leave their lights on at night, everything is dark. There's blinds over every window, even on stories way to high for anyone to be able to peek in, only the biggest roads have lighs, and then only from the middle of the road, nothing on the pavewalks, even the strip-clubs you find on each and every corner don't have neon signs or any other kind of lighting. The only places actually well lit up are some of the many inner-city parks, wich is not a bad choise I guess.
Once I did wake up, I barely made it to a Trivia-night (wich is the same as a quiz-night) I was invited to earlier. That was pretty fun, while the questions on australian athletes and music were way out of my league, there were quite a few european questions that were easy enough for some australians to know, thus perfect for me. And not suprisingly enough the was also a question about the twilight-series :)
