I had a really great day today. I’ve met some great people so far. I finally got a bank account and then later this week I’m getting a mobile (that’s what they call it). It gets better and better each day. It was really hard at first to get used to everything and even thought they speak English it’s not the same at all!! Everyone is really great though. This weekend we’re going into Geelong and staying with some new friends that I met through Christian Union here. They’re going to teach us to surf and boogie board. I’m getting pretty thrifty which is cool. We take buses into town when we can’t get a lift from friends. We’re also taking a bus into Geelong this weekend. Oh, I tried kangaroo which tastes a little like steak, emu which tastes like cheap steak, and crocodile which is like chicken. They’re all pretty good. Barbeques are all the rage here. I’ve eaten more sausages then I ever want to EVER again! You all know how I am about hot dogs so it’s been an adjustment- haha! Today we have the afternoon off and then tonight I’m going on a café crawl and am so excited. I thought the Pub Crawl sounded a bit too intense for me since it runs from 4:30 in the afternoon until three in the morning! Oh, and by the way they are actually pre-drinking for the café crawl! It makes me laugh cause when I’m sober I’m crazy and they’re chill and then it’s so opposite when they drink. Well, that’s all for now except I miss you all a lot.
