JAB RTW

Hello. We have crossed the Pacific Ocean to New Zealand and
landed back in the English speaking World. Some of our old South
American habits died hard and we spent a few days marvelling at
toilets that can handle toilet tissue and at people queuing in line.
Shocks came with the price of cigarettes, transport, rooms and,
well, everything really compared to SA.

We spent a short time in New Zealand, travelling to the sunny Bay
of Islands area and to sulphurous Rotorua before flying out of
Auckland to Sydney on the day of a Papal visit. It wasn't JP2
though. Another Pope, the head of the Coptic Church in Egypt -
the oldest Christian Church in the World - had decided to visit the
land of the long white cloud.

In Sydney we did the big tourist things; Bondi, the bridge and the
opera house before popping down to Bellambi, near Woolongong,
to see a Scottish friend from home.

Nursing hangovers after enjoying their considerable hospitality we
raced up the coast via Byron Bay, Hervey Bay, Airlie Beach and
sailed and snorkled around the Whitsunday Islands.

The mining town of Nhulunbuy, on aboriginal land at the Top End,
is where we are currently at, visiting another couple of friends that
we knew from back home. Tomorrow we'll throw a couple of
prawns on the barbie, open a couple of cold ones, and enjoy
Christmas in 95 degree heat.

Site wise we have had a few email problems and have fallen
behind with correspondence but hope to catch up soon. Finding an
internet café that accepts laptops has also been difficult in
Australia and New Zealand and that has meant that JAB is later
than we would have liked. Next month we're will probably be in
Indonesia and hope to produce a special Australia and New
Zealand Supplement for the Jobs Abroad Bulletin.

Special thanks this issue to Helen, Peter, Tony, Carolyn, Rebecca
and Jessica, among others, who have made us feel very welcome
in their homes and to David Toner of Wanderers Travel and the
crew on Ozsail's yacht Mandrake, Gerald, Stacy and Sara.

Happy Christmas,
Shane & Deirdre.

WARNING
Please be careful if you are asked to send money in advance to an
employer or an agency. Though many organisations that advertise
in JAB may require a fee (ie gap year expeditions and voluntary
organisations requiring a contribution towards food and
accommodation), it is not legal for UK employment agencies to
charge employees for job placing services (au pair agencies are
one of the few exceptions). If you believe an advertiser in this
bulletin is not playing the game fairly, please report them to us.
