Zedwood

Date: 16 Sep 2003, 11:39 Place: Sydney, Australia

Mood: Happy

I'm now staying in Chatswood which seems like damned nice place. All the people are really great and I'm feeling at home. I had to concentrate on listening to the accent a bit on the first day but now I'm quite acquainted with it. I can only hope that my speech is understandable as well.

Today I took the liberty of making myself a Vegemite sandwich. The stuff tasted as foul as I remembered, rotten cheese spread is what came into mind. There was an element to the taste that I kinda like. I can see why people eat it, sort of an acquired taste. Apparently the Finnish salmiakki candies I brought also require an acquired taste. Some comments: "What is this *with a weird face*", "Tastes like seawater", "Mmmm...I can taste the ammonia."
