Kebab

I’m eating a Kebab. Just last week I thought, wow these Australians like shish kebabs as much as the Middle Easterns do. For, I had seen an abundant amount of places selling Kebabs and special Kebab stores. Well, I am eating a kebab right now and as you can tell, it’s just a sandwich with flatbread and utter deliciousness: My new favorite lunch.

Bats of Fun

Things have been going well. Better than well… they are spectacular. Everyday is literally an adventure, and although my friends and I have a lot of things planned, the times within these plans are so spontaneous and naturally fun that I have been spinning since Brisbane.

This weekend we explored a couple of beaches: Burleigh Heads and Broad Beach. Burleigh Heads was definitely my personal fave. I have a video, which will describe with better detail what I liked and disliked about each.

Tomorrow I’m going to be celebrating the Chinese New Year at an on campus event.

My friend Stephanie (She goes to Northeastern University and is a business major, originally from Mass. She is a picky eater, and a quick wit) and I were walking home from a fun girls night with My (She is Vietnamese and from both CA and Mass. She’s a psych major and goes to UMASS Darmouth, she and Steph went to HS together. She is a real character and a lot of fun). On our way home, these bats came out of the trees and scared us. My voice has disappeared; otherwise I would have screamed the girliest girl scream ever. The bats here are huge, as Steph said earlier: they’re like flying dogs. I’m terribly afraid of them, because they are scarier than rats (ones that peruse Boston). They are worse than rats because they are not afraid to fly into hair and start making a nest. I can’t imagine anything more terrifying. Can you?

Well, I’m going bats trying to do homework. I’m going to get to it, while uploading all of the footage I’ve been taking.

Until then…

Slow Internet

The fact of the matter is that Australia’s internet is very very slow. This is the case even when I go to places I know will have stronger internet connection. Right now I’m trying to upload the video series I’ve made of Brisbane, and it’s taking forever.
