Why not give it to me!

This one’s for the fellow Melbournians.

I want a push-bike. I have bought two in the past year for low prices and both turned out to be basically unrideable. I love riding bikes and want to do it some more. There’s a bike path near my house and I will want to do it.

 Small problem; I don’t have a bike.

So if you’re not using yours or know of one that isn’t being used, why not sell it on to me. Give me some joy.

*edit* have been offered a bike within 30 minutes of posting this. Thanks Jim! He says it’s an old one but I don’t care, if it works it works. I’ll post a pic when I get the chance.

These were the dreams that I listed when I first started this blog:

http://www.montanalinda.com Study Spanish intensively for one month in Costa Rica

http://www.workingabroad.org/teachenglish/teachenglish_spain.html Take the one-two month summer program and live in Spain doing English tutoring.

http://www.intrepidtravel.com/destinations/Mongolia Go to Mongolia.

So now I have gone to Mongolia.

 Regarding the other two dreams I have merged them into one. Which country got the chop? Costa Rica, I’m afraid. I just felt it’d be best to learn Spanish where the language was born.

I’m still planning on doing the English tutoring but through a different company. It’s cheaper and exactly the same program…. and the new company has great customer service staff.

 So what’s the plan?

 August 08 - do a small holiday in Europe. Maybe go to France for a week, Italy another, and then into Spain, seeing Barcelona and then going to Madrid.

September 08 - Dec 08 Join family, and start Spanish course. Hopefully pick up some work as well. During this time I want to take advantage of those cheap airfares to see some parts of Europe that I haven’t previously - who knows, Slovenia, Austria, Portugal or Greece all sound like wonderful places.

 Ah it’s a dream right now. But not for long - I’ll make it.
