Back to the Future

Sum up the past 4 months of my life? Haha. Okay for you , I'll try. But I must tell you something really funny before. I just found out time does not actually exist. HAHA.
Don't you often have it, the feeling that '' it was just yesterday'' ? It gets more confusing when you travel.
I sometimes think that yesterday I was in dear Brighton having my last dinner with my best friend in that pizza place that we love , wondering ''what the hell am I leaving for? '' and wondering again as I showed up at the hostel I had been working at for a year and everyone was there to say good bye. And again as I was spending the night on Stansted Airoprt's freezing floor ( yeah you kind of have to do that if you want to travel cheap. Aka '' Air Asia'' )
And some other times I think everything that happened prior these 4 months was just a dream, or maybe a paralell Universe. Yes it gets more complicated when you also have a home country called France that you left 3 years before that. Another paralell universe. Yet I have been the French Girl from England for quite a while. And now I live in Australia. I can almost call myself a '' citizen of the world'' but everyone I met who ever call himself or herself that was crazy. Like proper mad.
So I decided that time can only logically exist. But it doesn't really.
One day you're listening to Michael Buble for breakfast at work in a backpackers' hostel in the UK , the next day you 're singing Celine Dion at the top of your lungs with a 50 year old american ex priest in the Malaysian jungle.
One day you're helping a friend in his cafe for a laugh in the UK the next thing you know you are hired in a cafe in Australia.
One day you're scared shitless to drive for 1h in your own country , blink and you'll be on an amazing 6h roadtrip with your car accross Australia. With no fear at all.
One day you're  running a backpackers hostel , the day day you 're being told what to do by a 14 year old because she's been here longer than you.
One day you are eating cookies with Australians in England celebrating God knows what , you just know it's a day in April that's important to them, and the next day you're up at 5 am drinking beer with ex soldiers at the ANZAC Day Dawn Ceremony in a little village of New South Wales.
So it's not about Time mate , it's about the Lesson.
Lessons I've learnt... quite a few already. Such as :
Animals are your friends , just let them be. Especially scorpions in Malaysia or pythons in Australia. Sorry to the frog I flushed the other day by the way. You just don't think when you go to the loo at 4am
A good wild pig is a dead wild pig ( in Malaysia)
Never trust a Rooster named Sarkozy ( in Malaysia)
You can survive without facebook for 10 days. sleeping in a barn in the jungle with no electricity.
And other stuff I won't bore you with.
