Longans

Longan is a green fruit which grows in a big clusters like grapes, but inside is similar to lychee. Its taste is sweet. After finishing with mangos I found a farm harvesting longans (eihajuakaansuomeksi) and the best thing is, no sap!

Longan tree is wide and provides nice shade.

Sometimes bats are found hanging on the tree. Their claws are sharp and scratch makes human very sick.

That's me with a pick stick and a crate for longans.

Work starts at 6 am before sunrise and ends 5pm. 

At the end of the day, sunset is astounding.

slips all the way

Owning a car has advantages and disadvantages. I've already enjoyed the advantages and it's time for the worse part: renewing registration aka. Rego. Finding required information to renew registration could take hours of surfing between websites. To make things more complex, I have to do everything interstate - registered in nsw, car in qld - and as long as nsw and qld doesn't have common register for cars I can't do it locally.

Secondary, prices are quite expensive: annual ctp policy is around 850$ and motor vehicle tax ~300$. Fortunately I need it only for half a year which lowers the price to half. In my opinion it's worth it though.
