Living in Australia...

"Bundaberg - It's Australian for Ginger Beer"

We arrived back from our sojourn in Cairns yesterday to a letterbox filled with mail. Among the various letters was one from the Department of Immigration - Param Satya, Prahlad, and I have been granted permanent residence in Australia.

It's always an issue with visas for us, because we have passports from three different countries - Param Satya from the US, Prahlad from Peru, and myself from NZ. Now we all have permanent residency in the same country, and can also apply for citizenship.

We came here four years ago as ISKCON missionaries. Prahlad and I are able to stay here without a visa, due to possessing NZ citizenship (myself by birth, Prahlad by descent). Param Satya, however, has been on a religious worker visa.

So what does it mean now that we all have permanent residency? It means that I can give up the show of devotional service and now pursue my true agenda. Bwahahahahahahaha!

(just kidding...)
