Southern Hem Exposure

I am still alive! Sorry for not posting as I have been extremely busy for the past year and a lot has change! I have not been updating my blog entries for a long while as I have been assigned to Sydney to work on Macquarie HQ. Too busy on work that even my Pokemon go frenzy has stopped. Anyway  funny story. I was supposedly be assigned to our Houston office, however got denied for an L1 visa (intra company transfer) stating I am not specialized enough and an American could be hired instead. The US embassy is really strict in issuing working visas. Seriously, I went on major scrutiny. However management decided to put up a fight and we submitted a 100 page plus document of my job role and achievements to United States Homeland and Security, and we've acquired the visa after 6 mos. Anyway after all the trouble of acquiring my US visa, manager decided to assign me to Sydney instead so here I am.

... story of my life.

So.. What does one do in Southern Hemisphere?

1. Travel. Familiarize oneself on Australia's states. - On going :)
2. Travel. New Zealand - Check! But I plan to return. There's just so much to see that even driving to a convenience store is scenic.
3. Travel. See the Aurora Australis. - In the checklist (we've got southern lights too you know.)
4. Travel. Papua New Guinea.
5. Travel more. -- priorities.

Lol. Yep keep the money burning.

So where have I been to?
