Tired of your job? Try this one!

An Australian state is offering internationally what it calls "the best job in the world" : earning a top salary for lazing around a beautiful tropical island for six months.

The job pays 150,000 Australian dollars (105,000 US dollars) and includes free airfares from the winner's home country to Hamilton Island on the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland's state government announced on Tuesday.



In return, the "island caretaker" will be expected to stroll the white sands, snorkel the reef, take care of "a few minor tasks" -- and report to a global audience via weekly blogs, photo diaries and video updates.

The successful applicant, who will stay rent-free in a three-bedroom beach home complete with plunge pool and golf buggy, must be a good swimmer, excellent communicator and be able to speak and write English.

Applications are open until February 22. Eleven shortlisted candidates will be flown to Hamilton Island in early May for the final selection process and the six month contract will commence on July 1.

If you apply, good luck :)

Rules #1

Living in Vienna, I usually fly to my home town via Milan or Rome, and this probably outlines that I fly with Alitalia.
This habit (whether it is a bad habit I let the reader judge) led me to this personal score when flying via Rome:
- 2 luggages lost
- 2 luggages damaged
- 2 overnight stays

I reached this score during the last 5 or 6 travels via Rome (once my luggage was damaged and lost - yes, I did jackpot).

Now I wonder if I have so a bad luck, or more simply "Alitalia and Rome" is a rule which doesn't hold, since people working for such an airport are unable to perform correctly their work.

I don't have an answer at the moment, but it might be found in the below video...
