So two blogs posted in 1 day...this is big. After this one I should be all caught up. The main problem is I can type my experiences but the picture uploading takes forever. The last few weeks here have been great. A lot of new people moved into the building i live in and I now have a wide variety of friends all international. Last weekend I went on a ferry down the yarra river and saw a different view of the city. It was great at the end of the ferry was Williamstown where we had a bite to eat before getting back on the hour long ferry.
I haven't been traveling recently instead I've just been hanging out with friends and getting some work down. I did go to my first AFL match but it was just preseason. AFL is australian football league. I know all of the rules now but not to sure how the penalites work yet. The stadium I went to was called the Telstra dome when I originally arrived in Australia but Sunday was the first day of the name change...Etihad stadium, new sponsership. The match was pretty exciting and I'm looking forward to
Yarra River
on the ferry boat with Francois and Hugogoing to atleast 2 regular season matches. The match was Carlton, which is the Melbourne suburb I live in, vs Hawthrone, which was the winner of last year. It ended up being a good match, after the 1st of 4 quarters carlton was down about 10-40 and came back in the end to win 108 to 88...i think that was the score. But it was a great experience.
The traveling will pick up again in a few days when I head of to Sydney for Mardi Gras!!!
The pictures I posted are of the yarra river and time spent with friends. I hope you enjoy and look forward to seeing Sydney.
