Yipee, I made it!

Wednesday, 12 Dec 2007 | Views [296]

I arrived safely in Sydney. Surprisingly, without being busted as part of an international drugs smuggling raquet or without being hauled up by immigration as an illegal alien and sent backpacking all the way home. I can't believe I'm here. It doesn't ... Read more >
