Welcome home...... Akustina is coming home sweet home in Melbourne..... she is on a short holiday break from her work in Geneva..... and we, in Melbourne, are indeed very very happy to see her again.....

Visiting the City and South Melbourne Beach.....

Cooking is a tradition of passing batons from generation to generation, from grandmother to mother and to daughter and so on.......

It is very sad to say goodbye to your dearest but life is like that...... however, it is indeed a blessing in disguise when the flight is cancelled due to a volcanic disaster closing all airports in Europe.....

After 6 days of unplanned holidays, Akustina is finally flying off to Geneva.....

Sayonara..... Akustiman is off to Osaka, Japan for about a year on a final year Student Exchange Programme with La Trobe University of Melbourne, Australia and St Andrew's University (Momoyama Gakuin University) of Osaka, Japan.......
