G'day, everyone. For the second time today, I am back and wishing you all well. I figured it is degen hours, my girlfriend is at work, and I am at home with my fractured hand and arm in a cast, so might as well write my media spot and get the week finished for earning. Outside of what’s going on in the last article, I am still looking for jobs in Australia. Literally the day after I got back from the hospital and seen the x-rays of my fractured metacarpal bone, I got four phone calls about jobs. Two were from agencies, one I never ended up speaking to, and the other was an employer, letting me know that I was hired for the position of helping them export bees from Australia to Canada. Unfortunately after the weekend and some thought I had to decline.. skip forward a week and a day, and I have been shortlisted to another job, which is good news. Aside from the job search, I am sad that I have a cast because this means I cannot go swimming. RIP. I also can’t do many other things which leaves me with the ability to lurk on the VHL and what a good time it is to lurk in the shadows. Season has started, and things are really feeling good throughout the league. Activity is decent and new members are joining, the drama is low and I feel like things are just moving along smoothly. This also includes the regular season! With that being said, let us blab my people.

 

• 9-0-2 is the record of the Seattle Bears at the time of writing this media spot. I think based off looking at a roster a lot of people thought that Seattle was going to be good, but I think the record that we have for any team at any time is pretty remarkable. I’m really happy with how the entire team has played. Not a single player. Hasn’t played the role on the team or hasn’t contributed to the success that we’ve had so far as a team we have come together and have built something very special.
• North America seems to be struggling a little bit. I think Seattle has a seven point lead on the New York Americans who are in second. I expect this gap to close as the season progresses. However it’s just crazy how different North America is to the European conference. Helsinki and Davos lead the way over there and it’s also very surprising that Riga, and Moscow are struggling. Additionally, to the European conference, I was somewhat surprised to see Prague as high as they were. I guess them selling off those players like they did and that one massive trade made me think things were maybe going to go backwards for them. However, looking at the roster they’re pretty damn good they’re going to potentially be a strong force in Europe.
• I must say, I truly enjoy the salary cap bump as well as the bracket changes. I really hope that the league decides to keep things as they are as it feels like the small room and adjustment changes have really helped ease the pressure that was on the system this system I felt as though I was about to burst it’s definitely opened up the gates, a little bit and has a loud and natural flow. This is good for so many reasons.

 

 

 

ONE Bana Australia Fact or Learning from the week #4:

This week I struggled to pick between two options. The one I chose not to talk about was how shitty the drivers are in Perth. Maybe we will get to that one next week, but I think it’s an important fact for people who are coming to Perth to know. They’re horrible here.
 

This week I wanna be a typical Canadian in Australia and talk about the weather. It’s pretty beautiful over here in Perth I’ve noted and it’s well known that in the summer times it’s very dry, very hot, with very few clouds in the sky. We have now progressed a little bit into fall and while it’s still very warm throughout the day, it’s neat how cool it feels in the evenings in nights. We still hit mid 20s throughout the day but at night time it might drop to 14 and one day this week I think it’s supposed to hit 10. These temperatures would be beautiful in Canada. I’m unsure if my body has acclimated to the warmth that is here. I know for sure I sweat a lot less during the day which is fucking beautiful but these temperatures that would normally be warm in Canada are cool to my skin. Also, in Perth, it rains a lot in the winter. While it hasn’t rained a crazy amount yet this fall we have had a couple days and wow is it pretty cool. I think I’ve seen rain three days while in Australia, and in all three days it poured as hard as it possibly could. One minute you’re watching TV and the next you’re looking out the window because you just hear this intense noise from inside.. very cool for someone that really likes weather like that.

About the photo:

This picture was taken on one of our last nights in Sydney Australia. You can see the beautiful CBD lit up in the background as well as the opera House. The lights were incredibly beautiful. Sometimes the bridge would be lit up for the pride, events happening, and some of the buildings to. We were on our way back from having dinner with a drink after spending the day in Sydney adventuring the park and other things. It was such an amazing incredible experience to be able to spend a week in Sydney. I really wish we had another week so we could just check it out more. Another thing that I missed from there Is the ferry rides. The rides like this in the evening and even the ones in the morning we’re absolutely beautiful and very peaceful. You can definitely say the opposite about any train ride or bus right here in Perth.  if you were taking the line from Mandurah to Perth you better hope it’s during the daytime hours. Quite the characters once you start going that way. We had so much fun in Sydney and it was honestly one of the best times of my life getting to experience everything that we did with the person I got to experience it with. By no means are we a perfect couple and yes we fight but this picture sums up pretty well, the overall of our relationship.
 

Thank you to anybody who took the time to read this. It’s been a lot of fun sharing my times in Australia with y’all.  While it is still very crazy that I am here, It’s been a lot of fun and definitely something in life I am never going to forget and will probably always have an effect on my life. Until next time VHL stay well!

By that you mean you want to throw her into the dark cold & dirty waters of the Bay while leaning back afterwards with a nice cold beer watching the sunset in glee? LOL!

Wow that’s so cool! I didn’t know this… THANK YOU! It’s right around my birthday, so I wonder if I can talk my girlfriend into going to Melbourne for a week

My pleasure... Just tell her you discovered this all dancing and singing vegan restaurant I am sure she can be persuaded (especially seeing that it around your birthday)... good luck anyway (also in securing tix)...

 

Edit: apparently Red Sparrow and Cornish Arms seem to be highly rated on different forums... never been to Oz and do not particular indulge in vegan diet (my family is strictly omnivore), so please take this with a pinch of salt.

Appreciate the help! I’m similar but sometimes eat with her like that as she deserves options too! We have a wicked app (Happy Cow) that helps us spot her vegan restaurants and places with vegan dishes!!

 

Im sure she’ll be down.. just might be tricky as we were planning to leave in November and explore the east coast towards the end. I think right now we’re planning Indonesia in May!

 

as for the tickets go on sale in five days and the only thing available right now is like $600.. they make the Edmonton Oilers look cheap and three chicken tenders and fries is $18

they do know that you want to buy tickets only and not the whole blinking team, right? For the two tickets of USD 1,200 I could buy a season ticket here (admittedly not front row).
