Alright so saturday was a great day!! i went shopping with my aunt and her girls. and holy cow the shops here are AMAZING. they are all pretty much like urban outfitters but 10x's betta. only everything is way overpriced...like nothing is under $40....EEEKK!
i have to say that every girl that i saw at the mall looked like she just stepped out of a photo shoot, it was ridiculous, haha i felt so out of place. but everything in their stores are winter clothes like coats and long necks and scarves, this is what everyone was wearing even though it was so warm haha but the weather is freezing to them...pahlease.
Everyone is just so nice here, its a great change haha, but i do find it dificult to understand what they are saying. i often have to say"come again" or "sorry i didnt catch that." they have there own lingo, like cutlerey is silverwear, a chocolate bar is a candy bar, lollies are candies, a letter drop is the mailbox, and the list could go on, and they do say mate alot haha.
later that day i went to a pro rugby league game with my uncle, his friend, and my aunts brother and his little boy. It was so incredibly fun! the stadium was HUGE and it was a really easy sport to catch onto. Its kind of a mixture of soccer and american football.
while i was there i had this delicous australian soda called Solo and an amazing chocolate bar called a Boost. mmmm. ive had about 3 of those so far! yeah dont be surprised when i come home 30lbs heavier,or 10 kilos heavier lol.

sunday was a pretty relaxin day. i just read all day and then we went to church. they dont have any cute boys:( but they arent bad lookin. they only have 6 young women.. it was crazy.
hmm what else can i tell you about australia.
they do have funny looking grass and in their neighborhood, everyone parks their cars on their lawn because there isnt enough room for the cars on the street.
they have these really obnoxious birds with the most annoying noises that they make.
the streets are so dang confusing, i was thinking i wanted to learn how to drive here but um no thank you, the streets are crazy!
when i first got here i about had a heart attack thinking that the cars were driving themselves, totally forgetting that the steering wheel is on the other side haha!
they they hardly have any fast food, mcdonalds is about it....this is why america is so obese and america also over salts everything so when i got here i have found myself having to salt almost everything! my aunt just shook her head at me.
im hoping to learn how to surf this week so i will keep you updated on those adventures!
