The Boomerang Effect
Here we are... Back in Sydney! Of course this was not planned, but it has happenned. After fighting with the Spanish bureaucracy for a while and realising that we were misinformed by two official bodies about the procedures to get a residence permit for Karthik "on the spot"... We are back! Not for good, as we will be in Sydney for only 3 weeks (although staying longer is tempting, now that summer is coming!)
So... What's our next stop? We think (hard to be sure about anything nowadays!) it's going to be UK. This has nothing to do with our original plan, but it seems that, given the circumstances, it is the wisest option, as the residence-work permit can be obtained in Australia in 10 days, so we can start working as soon as we land there... and find a job! (the latter, we believe, was necessary in any case).
Better not to think of the cost of this "change of plans"... Let's instead focus on the joy of meeting our good Aussie friends and being in beautiful Sydney (we were missing it a lot, by the way!)
Our plan is to leave Sydney on 8th November... That is, in two weeks we become a boomerang again, as there is no doubt that sooner or later, for a short or a long period... We will be back!
