About me
Originally this blog was about my student exchange to Montreal and North America (and later, south and cental america). This was the 'chaos land' of the title. However, once overseas I soon realised that Australia (and especially Sydney) was the real chaos land, -I would monitor Australian news with increasing feelings of trepidation, in reaction to all the huge and worrying political changes Australia is going through, eg industrial relations laws. So this blog is dedicated to trying to understand the chaos of this world, to find its beauty, and to direct its energy to something good and life affirming.

So when I was in Bogota, I met Jane at the hostel Platypus. We realised that we were both going to the World Social Forum in Caracas, so we decided to link up in Venezuela. so we met in Merida, a beautiful city in the Andes, full of adventurers (from the occidental countries).
For the next week, we would be trying to support eachother in Caracas- Neither of us had organised accomodation for the world social forum- and it was too late- all the hotels were booked out, so we were in the youth camp (without a tent). -what a crazy way to make friends!!
as we discovered, many people were willing to offer their hospitality or bit of tent, and most of them were boys who were overly affectionate (as i discovered walking in the dark camp when a random Colombian boy came out of the darkness wanting to kiss me) -
this ended up being the status quo for the week, and jane and I would laugh a lot when i would come back from walking in the city or the university, with another email, phone number or date, or story of some kiss that i randomly had!!! i just don't know how to deal with all the flirting! this is totally out of character i can assure you, as other people in australia who know me would attest to!!!
