I am not dead, yet.

 
Hi, everybody. I am alive. It's little late to say merry Christmas. Anyway, I hope you guys had great time.
I am in Innisfail where is a small town in Queensland. I have been working in Banana farm for 3 weeks. It is not a best job to do, but I wouldn't say it's just bad. It's just not like I thought. First of all, I never thought bananas are so firm like that. I couldn't even bite them. So, I have to keep it for a week to be available to eat. ( I brought them into my home^^) And, all the wasting! They Throw away a lot of bananas. Almost half of them! The boss said It was because they were not good enough to be sold.  It, anyway, looks like just  wasting. At second, Picking bananas is really not like I thought. I could say it is not like you think. Whatever you come up with now. I thought It would be climing trees and droping bananas. But it turned out there is no climing, and no even picking. It is just cutting trees and carrying bunch of bananas. And, bunches are so heavy. They are as heavy as you. A small one might be 30 kg, and heavy one would be 80 kg or even heavier. It is hard job, and dangerous job as well. One of my co-worker got cut his ankle when he was doing that job. So he kept cripple because of cast in his leg during Christmas.

I went to Cathedral in Chrismas midnight just for watching. The priest let me in, so I joined them even I don't believe in god. It was nice. Most of them were not dressed. They worn just short pants, and T-shirts, it's not weird at all. It is definetely not like Korea.

My journey is almost done. I already got homesick, so I wish I could get home right now. But the thing is I am going back a month later, so, I have to deal with my homesick a month more.

I will work here a couple of weeks or three weeks more. And then, I am going to Melbourne. I will have saved some money, ,so, hopely, I can make great time in there. Does anybody know about Melbourne? Please tell me where I should go. I am thinking about going to the great ocean road, but nothing more.
