GREAT expectations

Ok, I'm here in Melbourne from 2 weeks and I neither have found a job. It's not a big deal, I keep think positive!
The title "great expectations" doesn't mean that I was hopeful and all my dreams break down. Talking with a chinese guy, he told me "You are italian!! You should know how to make an AMAZING coffee or a very COOL pizza or whatever"
WTF?? Hey man, I'm not superman.

Those are great expectations I mean -.-



It should makes me happy (obviously I'm proud to be italian), but it set me in a very strange position in which I must can do everything.

Honestly I spent the last two days as tourist ahahahahah visit Melbourne and its hide corner, also some church and have good time walking on riverside.

I'm thinking to change my way, orienting myself in another direction and move me away from the city. Looking for hitch hiking or car sharing and discover the truth Australia:):)


We'll see:):)
Don't forget to follow me on my instagram page here . Every day one more draw from Australia.
As soon as possible I start to post short videos with my own animations, stay tuned!

the AUSTRALIAN SUN doesn't FORGIVE

Hey,
this first week is passed like a breath!! I've done the RSA course (4 hours where a pretty strange girl explain us how to serve alcohol and how to denied at who is drunk); after those 4 hours we should make an exam, but everything goes right so... Hey!! Now I can serve alcohol to everyones here in Victoria!! Come on guys and have FUN!! Ahahahahah


"Pussy is the name of the drink, trust me!!"

On thursday I start to leave around my resume (in restaurants and cafè) and one italian restaurant made me do a trial next day (friday).

I wasn't sure about it because the italian manager didn't made me feel relaxed. In fact next night I get out two hours later (5:30pm - 7:30pm) ahahahahah "Maybe we call you back".

After this trial I knew that 400GRADI restaurant is one of the most busy in Melbourne's CBD  xD xD  but to break ice it's ok :):)
Who care? I'm in Melbourne and this is ok ahahah



On saturady I went to the beach (because after this short experience I need relax and sun) but I didn't care about the strong burning australian sun!!  D:
I stayed lying down from 1:30pm to 3:30pm !! D:
I covered myself with sunscreen, believe me, but it wasn't enough...




Now I am at the hostel, afraid from the sunrays and looking on google maps which suburbs I could leave my resume (maybe Fitzory and Carlton).

I think also to looking for farms or wwofing works, but I let you know ;);)
bye bye!

HERE I AM !!

Ok, here I am :):)
I'm arrived on sunday evening in Melbourne Tullamarine's airport (after 20 hours of flying!! D: ).
I took the skybus that brought me to Southern cross station and now I'm at the hostel. Yeah!!

In these first three days I opened a bank account, made the australian phone number, TFN request (to legally work in Australia) and I booked the RSA course (which allows to serve alcohol).

I have some problem with the jetlag, so I wake up at 4am (in Italy are 6pm of the day before, WTF?? ). Do we have dark circles? ahahah



But I am positive and everything goes as it should.
I am in Melbourne right now, and this is enough to make everyhing alright:):)


My next step will be looking for a job as waiter... Don't stop to follow me through my trip! 
From Melbourne with love,
Nick:)

Be prepared!

Hi mates!
The preparations for my trip to Australia are in progress. I'm working hard to store all my stuff in some boxes and to clean my room (gosh, I bought 6 boxes for all my belongings). Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture to show you the "before" and "after", but hey! I'm a cartoonist! So why can't I draw how my room looked like before?

This is the result! Ahahah

BEFORE
AFTER

As you can see there was a lot of books, draws on the wall, frames about my digital draw, comics, DVDs and Blu-ray, paper and albums with projects...
Really in the wardrobe on the right side there are all my clothes, I still have to choose what I bring with me and what stay here xD

This is my update for this week ahah next one will be in live from Melbourne, my first day 16.000km away from my room.
Stay tuned!
