Fly off to Melbourne
so i did get my visa at the last moment i had undone all the packin and had to do all the packin again in the middle of the night and i flew from hyd to ahemdabad and from thr to singapore changed flights at singapore and then to melbourne...wen i first arrived i was very nervous as i knew very few ppl here and everythin was new...my frnd came to pick me up from the airport and i stayed at his place for 2 weeks and i must thank him for makin things comfortable for me....melbourne is very beautiful city..have lots and lots trees...gardens..parks...but its whether is very unpredictable...u have to see the weather forecast and dress accordingly...
Swinburne University of Technology, thts the name of my uni...i like it very much..it has good atmosphere..students here are mainly indians tht too from gujarat...and there are many students from china, vietnam, thailand and those parts overall multicultural...there are somethin or the other goin on with the students' union....sometime its free pizza or burger or discounted movie tickets...bags...water bottles...........
then i got the chance to see both the openin and closin ceremony includin India's presentation, of the commonwealth games it was awesome....it was like whole of melbourne has risen to the occassion...the fireworks were spectacular....
after the commonwealth games....i went to the Australian Grand Prix....Formula One....along with my frnds...yes its held in Melbourne....we were there at the race track since mornin and enjoyed the whole day...had F-16 fighter jet performin stunts...Boeing jumbo 747 flyin off....then bikers performin stunts on the race track..V8 car race...i got so many cars tht i had either seen them in movies or on internet..there was coupleof Lambhorgini's, vintage and new Ferrari's, Mclaren F1 and many others whose names i dont remember,..then the parade lap.....i got to see Michael Schumacher and everybody else....i thought wow..then the actual race it was pretty nosiy..the f1 v8's zoomin past us.....but unfortunately Schumi crashed....
after the race was over we went on to the race track....in front of the podium and there was so much excitement...and even saw the place on the track whr schumi crashed..had heaps and heaps of fun....will post the pics in the next blog...
so long till the next post!!!
