Hahah, Already falling behind in posts!

Hey everybody!

Soooooo looks like I've already fallen way behind in my posts! So as everybody now knows Brie and I have made it safely to Australia! We've spent 2 weeks in Melbourne checking out all the sights and staying with our friend Tim. We had tons of new experiences from eating my first Roo burger and Croc meat to checking out the St. Kilda festival. We had a lot of fun in Melbourne and figured that since we are going to go back near the very end of our trip we could move on to Sydney. This proved to be the best idea as we took a short 1hour30min plane ride from Melbourne to Sydney. We got a free bus shuttle from our Hostel (The Funkhouse) which was pretty awesome. The Funkhouse definitely had character with its pop culture murals on every door. Plus they were only a short walk to the Sydney CBD(Central Business District). We've done all the touristy things around town like checking out the Opera House, which is as awesome as you'd think, taking a ferry to Luna Park - which is probably the smallest theme park I'll ever go to - but it did have its charm as they kept it as it has been since the 1920's. We went down to Bondi Beach on a Saturday and fell in love with the beach. We moved hostels and came down to Bondi where we currently are until tomorrow when we are heading back to Sydney because your boy has found a job! I'll be working for 3 months with this company (PLAN) helping out the charity get funds for 3rd world children. Great cause, great money. Our plan now will be for both of us to work hard for 3 months and continue on from Sydney for June and July! Things are looking up here in Australia and there are no doubts that this is gonna be the best trip ever! It also helps having Brianna with me as she is an excellent travel partner, always pointing me in the right direction and getting me to buy her ice cream all the time ;) hahaha

Well if it's next week or next month I'll definitely hit you guys up with more info!

I hope all is well with all my friends and family and already have so many stories to tell when we get back!

Peace and Love,
Jason Singh.     

Customs was a breeze!

Hey Everyone!

So we've passed customs in like 10 mins without a problem! Got a $4.00 bottle of water and ate my moms most delicious Roti and beef curry! Finally got to see my Brie after a long ass week and a half! I'm here typing away on our iPad and Brie's looking at a magazine :) hope you guys can keep up with all the blog posts! Next one is really coming at you from Hong Kong!

Here's to safe travels,
Cheers!

Waiting to exhale........in OZ!!!

Hey guys and gals!

So here we are, less than 24 hours away from taking off on that plane to Australia! I'm very excited to start this awesome journey with Brie!!! My MEC Pack is ready to go and all that's left is getting my carry-on in order.... I'm also excited to see Brie as we've both been staying at our respective parents places for over a week!!!! Just wanted to thank all of those people that helped us move out of our place in the Annex, and to all those people that have shown us support and love. This journey will be a great learning experience and a sheer blast each and every one of the 180 days! This kind of opportunity only comes every so often in a lifetime, and for some it may never come. We are very lucky to be blessed with what we have and the people we have in our lives. I for one will always take the opportunity to travel, explore, learn, and create memories all over this amazing planet, and I'm really glad that I'll have Brie right there with me! This past week has been a lot of fun hangin' with old friends and seeing all of my family before leaving. I've especially enjoyed hangin' out with my sister Jennifer. We are very close as siblings and having this week to chill has been just like old times! After teaching English in Korea for one full year, going to Australia for 6 months is gonna be a breeze! Everything will be in English! :)

Well, stay tuned as I'm gonna try to share our adventure as best I can!

Next post is coming from Hong Kong!!!!

Peace.

WELCOME........again

Hey everybody!!!!!

So my blog never turned out the way I was expecting it would when I taught English in South Korea but I'm hoping I really keep up with it for this 6 month working Vacation in Australia!!! Much has changed since my last big trip! For one, I wont be alone. It'll be coming up on 2 years that my girlfriend Brianna and I have been dating, and 1 year that we have been living together. I couldn't have asked for a better partner to take on this kind of journey! The apartment is packed up and we are just 2 weeks from taking off - gonna spend as much time with family as I can because there will be no shortage of tasks to help my mom out with ;) I hope everyone can stay tuned as there will be many pics/videos/text on our entire trip!

Stay classy!

Lotus Lantern Festival

Hey Everyone! Everything is going great out here in South Korea soooo many things have been done but not a lot of time to show you all what’s up! Between working at the school, studying the Korean language, partying it up, and the countless adventures I’ve been on – there hasn’t been much time for communication.

This was the Lotus Lantern Festival in Seoul – It was to celebrate the enlightening of the Buddha, after watching “The Little Buddha” which is a terrific movie save for the fact that Keanu Reeves plays Siddhartha(!), I picked up a book on Buddhism to find out what it was all about – pretty cool…

This one is dedicated to Midnight Buster Bunny Singh – R.I.P. – You’ll be hopping in our hearts forever – and if, according to the Buddha, you are reincarnated, I hope it’s something cool!

I found a real easy way to upload pics – so sit back, relax, and enjoy 128 photos!!!

Hey

Hey, it's kinda hard putting up these pics and vids up through BLOGSPOT so I'm gonna give in and start making facebook albums......I will however continue the blog and actually use it alot more since I don't have to post massive amounts of pictures!

STILL up next: The Lotus Lantern Festival!

STRUGGLIN

Hey guys and gyals - really taking long with these updates!!!! Now I have some free time (a couple days left on vacation) I will try to spew some stuff out!

First up is some footage from my very first live Rugby game! It was Korea's team, the BIGGEST Korean's I've ever seen in my life - these guys were monsters, against a farm team from England. Sad to say that this match was not even close - a total beatdown on the Korean's on their own soil. Don't know why the Englishmen had to be so mean......they beat them by like 100 points - it was pretty entertaining though!

Here's the Pics:

Here's the program.

I've got to say, the crowd was mainly Korean!

Pretty sure this was the section for the people who came from England to see their team!

"Survey Says!" England 61 Korea 0 = after the First Half!

VIDEO TIME!!!!!!

Back to a few more pics:

GAME OVER!!!

Coming soon.... Lotus Lantern Festival!!!

It’s been a long time since I left you, without a dope POST to step to…

Hey guys, what can I say? I've been very busy over the past couple of months and have neglected my BLOG. I said last time I was gonna post some pics from the live Soccer game I went to - and by the way, that seems like ages ago! Got tons of pics and vids coming at ya this time so I hope your ready. I will definitely be on top of this blog thing more, as I have really fallen behind! So much to say and pics to post! And hey, If your gonna take the time to read my stuff (which I'm thankful for) don't be afraid to take the time and comment once in a while :) This time I'll let all the pics speak for themselves.

Here Goes...

Suwon Vs. Busan

Suwon, home of the Blue Wings, my first professional soccer match! And yes, I say professional because Suwon is in FIFA the videogame!! This was a weekday game so the crowd was not that big. However, the cheering section was on FIRE!!!!! They had a cheer captain on the megaphone telling everyone what to chant. There was never a dull moment - cheering for 90 mins is awesome, I definitely lost my voice by the end of the match! My city is called Yong In and is about 40 minutes from Suwon so this is our "home" team. A few friends and I went to this game, one of my friends who has been here for about 4 years is a season ticket holder. The game cost only 10, 000 Won which is a little less than 10 bucks. They have an awesome Spanish player - EDU - who they pronounce EDO...He scored one of the goals on April 12 2009, the day I saw the game. Suwon took it 2 - 0. I'm guessing that EDU is from Cuba because for some reason there were a bunch of CHE flags throughout the Suwon World Cup Stadium, that was cool. Of course it wouldn't be a true Soccer Match without an injury. I love how he was carried out on a stretcher in an ambulance on the field and was back on the field all within 5 minutes - now that is some "football" hahah. Anyways the match was awesome - here are a bunch of photos and I've compiled a little video to show off the vibe of the crowd but it turned out to be too long to string together so there will be a bunch of mini-videos - the chants are great!
