Well, my intermediate class was cancelled yet again. I decided that I needed some pictures to prove to you guys that I'm actually going out there so I 'HIRED' a surfboard today and went out with mark and mike. THe surfing was choppy as hell and really difficult. I was also on a shorter board to make it more difficult; but it was fun as always! We then went out for a 'gourmet burger' afterwards at Burgerman and I was going to take a picture of the burger when it got there but then I took a bite instead. And then [View Full Entry]

The past two days have been excellent. Damn nice weather and lots of learning. Started yesterday with nothing to do so I decided to head down to Coogie beach. I went before with mark and had a delicious strawberry banana smoothie. The picture of just my feet in crystal clear water that everyone is jealous of is from coogie. Anyways, I met some guys who were australian but of Italian decent. The guidos are the same everywhere.. did I just say that?! Nah, they were alright, they buried their buddy super deep in the sand and I got a picture for [View Full Entry]

Yesterday I had a nice relax day after actually sleeping well. Mark and I went out to see a whole bunch of beaches, and there was good weather. I didnt bring my "trunks" which I definitely regretted, the water was B E A utiful. He then took me to the olympic village where I saw the cool stadiums and some crazy trapezers. (Im pretty sure thats not what theyre called, but they officially have a new name in my books). We came home where I had a nice nap. (I sleep alot, I gues the jet lag is still with me [View Full Entry]

Ive spent the past few days with vera and ron, they are amazing hosts. They took me to all sorts of sights where I was able to get more beautiful views of the sydney area. They also took me to a provincial park where the sun came out over a beautiful setting of Lion Island and Palm Beach. Unfotrunately, all I really wanted to do was sleep; I was running on two crappy hours of on and off sleep. Apparantly Im allergic to something in the air near their house. I couldn't breath all night as my lungs had tightened up [View Full Entry]

This morning I woke up, had a ncie short work-out and headed out for Yum-Chai with my uncles Marks Parents. It was cool the way the restaurant was set . Basically a bunch of chinese waiters walking around with carts of food and you can pick and choose what you want. Never have to wait: Quite Enjoyable. Afterwards Mark asked is I wanted to go see some skippys (kangaroos) and so we were off. The place we ended up turned out to be more of a wildlife sanctuary. I was able to pet the kangaroos and koalas. There were the craziest [View Full Entry]

Harbour Bridge

It was my uncleds birthday so it was perfect timing for him to take off work and show me around town. Such a beautiful city. We went on a walk around the harbour, I saw the famous opera house, we ate fish and chips overlooking the harbour bridge and then went on a boat tour around the harbour. We then went out for his monthly liquor run; $540 and 6 bottles of vodka later we were on our way back home. I pretty much conked out and was out cold for 2 hours. Upon wake-up I was told we were going [View Full Entry]

This is amazing. Its 2 in the morning and I had my first warm shower all week, damn it feels good to be clean. I was about to jump into bed when I looked outside on the patio (yes, i have a patio right outside my room, a door from my bedroom directly onto it); I decided to go outside into the warm air wearing my pajamas. Being warm out, they dont consist of much, the point is that It was so nice to just stand outside with the warm air on me and just take a second to think. Im [View Full Entry]
