Off and away.

OH where oh where has he gone today?
Hes off hes gone hes run a away.
He could be anywhere monkey friend of mine
He'll see world and have a good, good time.

(to the tune of the chorus of "last kiss")

Hannuman has started his adventure today.
Well actually hes started it the day before but because he had created a chakra cave deep in the depths of my backpack i didn't actually take a picture of him on the plane. I totally should've though.
Regardless. Hannu my main man has moved from Dunedin to Christchurch then across the ditch to wonderful ol Melbourne.

I'm aiming for this blog to do two things:
1. Tell everyone what i'm doing these days
2. To tell everyone the best things to see in Melbourne and around the world (if i ever manage to get there...)
So this blog is going to sound decidedly bi-polar. One paragraph might be mine and another might be hannus. lets hope you guys can understand who is who.

So Hannu and i arrived in melbourne and it was around this time i realised that i don't actually have my eftpos card. Which means i dont have access to all the money that i had saved for coming over here (a whopping 250 dollars) So that means that i had come to a new country with the plan to live there for a year or two with....
50 whole dollars.
oooh yeah!
I made my way to my sisters place pretty uneventfully. no problems there. I started talking to my sister about what i'm planning on doing for cash. She cracked up when i told her my monetary situation but i dont think she was at all surprised and i imagine that no one reading this would be surprised either.
Anyway i told her that my plan was to Train all year to get into NICA (national institute of circus arts). Planned to get a job and busk for a living until then.
So we sat down and wrote everything that i needed to get started here and i'll just give you a little run down on what is necessary:
Busking:
So apparently (and i shouldve really thought this would be the case) you need a busking license to busk in the Melbourne area. Now if i was playing music this would be easy but because i'm not i require
Permit: 20
fire blanket: 10
extinguisher: 30
rope (to mark out where my performance area is): 15
drip bucket: 5
Fire water (fuel): 100
Public liability insurance (incase i set someone alight): 250
New speaker charger: 30
Total: 460 dollars
Knowing you are fucked due to lack of organisation?
priceless.

Now thats just busking but suffice to say i am in a rather bad situation. To be honest however, my life is generally one type of mess like this after a mess like this after another.
But hey it makes for good stories.

A few things before i go:
Look up Cyr wheel improcirque on youtube. Its amazing.
Andrew bird is a pretty sweet artist. Anonanimal is a pretty cool song.
I didnt have much to say about Hannuman mainly because the pictures i took, I took on my phone. Which sucks because you need that CD that no one ever keeps so that i can load the pictures onto the computer. And saying where Hannuman went is sort of lame without pictures.
also this rocks too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYlhLRK5548&feature=related

Seeya guys
