It's hot here. Which is awesome because back in Seattle it's probably 30 and raining like always. Being in Australia isn't a huge difference though. Everyone speaks English of course, although some woman today said she didn't understand my accent, which was funny because I couldn't understand her either...
Seeing landmarks like the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge is pretty incredible, and I'm so thankful that I could be here because I know it's an opportunity I will never have again. The weather is a bit like Seattle in the summer (except it's actually warm), but the sun is a lot stronger and we have all been burning every day. I have three layers of sun tan going on right now and they're all different shades and shapes.
We discovered really quickly that the people here aren't especially friendly, mostly when they're driving. I think they would hit us if they could. Also, the prices here are insane. A soda is like 4 dollars at 7-11, and food and clothing is twice as much as you pay at home. Basically I'm hungry a lot. We're leaving Sydney soon so maybe I'll end up writing this more, who knows. Everyone says ciao here when they say goodbye, even though it's not Italy...
Ciao Mates!
