Ken the Barbie (BBQ)

I apologize for not having internet this past week. I am trying to find a hostel today, and I promise I will find a way to post much more frequently as soon as I can.  I am heading to "the City" (downtown Sydney) to find a hostel to stay at.  I have been having a blast doing all the local things, and I already feel at home here even though it has only been a week.  We have gone to so many places, and everyone keeps telling me I haven't even really even seen Sydney yet.

One thing that I have really noticed about everyone here is their absolute friendliness and confidence.  I love it! You can literally just walk up to anyone on the street and have a conversation with them.  My friends took me to a rooftop bar that overlooks the city, the Opera house, and the ocean. One of the roommates I am staying with took me to Bondi beach, but as you all know I don't have a swimsuit so we jumped in in our clothes! I have gone to a pizza shop without shoes, gone to the Blue Mountains to see "The Three Sisters" (those jagged mountains), walked through a rain forest, had the best breakfast of my life,  met some awesome people, built a barbeque from scratch (his name is Ken the Barbie), learned a million new words which I have already forgotten (I am going to the SERVO for a SANGER this AVO= I am going to the gasstation for a sandwich this afternoon), gone to an 8 hour Cricket game, and met my new favorite fruit: Lychee.

Anyways, I can't wait to have internet again- it has been a nice detox, but I am ready to have it back.  I am currently sitting in a Vietnamese Supermarket using their computer next to the shaving cream isle.

My newest Aussie obsession: Shwood Sunglasses made out of real wood.
