Baku or no Baku?

Well, The Eurovision Song Contest is over for another year, and despite the majority of my favourites making it through to the final, only Sweden was in the top ten, at third place. The winner, as I'm sure you've heard by now was the land of fire itself, Azerbaijan, which I am sure is everyone's favourite baijan.

Initially I was thinking I wouldn't be going to Eurovision 2012, as Azerbaijan would be far to expensive to travel to, but I have recently discovered not only are the fees for exchange less than I thought they would be, but I am entitled to more grants than I thought, making Eurovision 2012 much more feasible. And as my colleague Emma Backfish said; "When else would I get to go to Azerbaijan?"

And you can view my favourite from this year, Estonia (of course!) below!

Should not have been second last!

Oh, and Two months, Twenty four days...

Three Months, Thirteen Days...

Hi there!

Some of you may know me, some of you may not. My name is Liam and i'm originally from Albury/Wodonga on the border of New South Wales and Victoria in Australia. At the moment I live in Melbourne and attend the Bundoora campus of La Trobe University.

This blog has been created to hopefully act as my travel journal to chronicle my adventures as an exchange student in Tartu, Estonia. However there is very little to talk about at this point as I don't leave until August 12th.

So I suppose I shall end this here, but I will post the first line of an email I received from UT's Student Exchange Coordinator:

Dear Liam,

Congratulations on your admission to the University of Tartu! We’re looking forward to welcoming you in Tartu in August.

I still can't believe it! It frequently causes me to giggle randomly. Well, I suppose the countdown continues!
