Hi WorldSkills,

Greetings from the Sun!

We'd like to have written sooner... but things have been a little busy. Everything is very fine! The sun is shining and the people are very friendly - we love Australia and Perth!

We're renting a bedroom each in the downstairs flat of a lovely home - and it's only a 20minute to drive from the city. A perfect location!

Work in the salon is great. We have a few clients each day and take Sundays and Mondays off to explore the sights. Learning English has been fun - sometimes a little difficult - but it gets easier every day :) Our clients enjoy helping us practice our English while we style their hair.

After we finish our exchange here in Perth might go to Sydney and do another one! Working and living there would be nice experience too. Sydney is much bigger and busier than Perth, so we're looking to discovering another part of Australia. Tony Faranda and the people here are happy to help arrange this too. We are very lucky!

From Sanni and Jaana.
