Alright, so I'm taking a mini break from writing my journals for mass media. Earlier when I was talking to Mom on Skype (yay for her/Ryan getting it figured out haha) she said that I don’t say enough about the things I like in Sydney/Australia….so I am going to list a few so y’all don’t think I’m not enjoying myself.
KC SLAM (aka Kaelin, Carla, Shivani, Liz, Allison, and me…) – friends from that first night at the BBQ…pretty much inseparable since then. I love them all so much for various reasons but mostly because we are all so alike and yet different in every imaginable way. Most people know I spend a lot of time with guys/don’t get along with many girls, well it’s a good thing these girls are the coolest ones around. I don’t know what I’m going to do w/o them in my life in Texas (o wait…move back to Australia and live w/Kaelin and Shivi…sorry mom, it just got even more likely that me moving will actually happen)…but moving on to the rest of my list…
GELATO…mostly Lemonetto in Melbourne…delicious, everyone should try it
RUGBY…enough said
ACCENTS…and adorable words…I am determined to add these words to my vocabulary: heaps, dodgy (ok, that one’s already there), “how ya goin”, full on, and more…but my mind just went blank…
TIMING – People seem to run on the same time schedule as me…5 minutes late is on time…if you’re there on time…you’re early J
TIM TAMS – a delicious cookie aka biscuit…it’s a wafer thingy coated in chocolate…they have all different flavors like caramel (my personal fav) and mint and dark and such…YUM
CADBURY – so I know we have Cadbury in America, but not like this…there’s huge bars…we like to call them our happy place
WEATHER? – ok so this one’s iffy, but it’s gotten up to 90 deg F…and it’s still early early spring. I wore a tank top when it was still Winter. Much love! (We’ll ignore the fact it rained and got down to 55 yesterday…)
ANIMALS – how can you not love kangaroos and koala’s?!?! (ps I have video of a huge male hopping away and another one of him scratching his bum haha get excited for my camera to actually get along with my comp)
SURFERS – surf camp = awesome purely because our instructors were so nice, easy going, fun and encouraging. They have an even more care free attitude than other Aussies (which is hard to do)…it’s impossible not to get caught up in the atmosphere.
50 CENT McDonald’s ice cream…no explanation necessary
ROUNDING – every bill is rounded to the nearest 5 cents…which means they don’t have pennies…makes life easier J
SCENERY – okay, so I kno I haven’t exactly been around the world, but I can’t imagine another place that has more picturesque views of different varieties so close together. FANtastic (haha that’s what my great ocean road tour guide said about every 5 seconds…FANtastic!) (OH! Another word…lollies = candies…tour guide liked them too)
Okie…well I’m gonna get back to work now, I hope you are fully convinced that I am having a good time
