SYDNEYYYY

ok so got into sydney with seth and settled into the hotel. then we walked around for hours exploring sydney. we looked around darling harbour and george street. we ended up eating right on the harbor at a place called plate. I got a delicious ravioli wine thing and seth got kangaroo which i did actually try and i have to admit it was good. next morning i came to my trip. the place is amazingggg we have a flat screen tv, a kitchen with a dishwasher, a washing machine and a dryer, a bed room, and a large bathroom. not to mention people come in to clean once a week. My roommate colleen is superrr friendly and lucky for me knows how to cook and is bartender at home. we went to a little orientation where we learned the rules then unpacked and then me and my roommate went to an adorable little place called trinity. the service in australia is veryyyy different. a tip s not expected at places so its not like they are running to help. at most places u go up and order ur food and drinks and then sit down and they may or not bring it to u. i got a delicious salad with dried tomatoes and different types of lettuce that they call "rocket/ fennel" and chicken and pine nuts....DELICIOUS. then me had a pitcher of pimms. which we learned is a type of alcohol that they combined with strawberries, cucumbers, mint, gin, and lemonade (which we found out is what we call sprite and they dont really have american lemonade)...kind of like a mix between a mjoito and sangria. then bought some wine and grocerries and headed back. they dont refrigerate their eggs adn shopping is very different here and more expensive. o and tax is already included in everything. o and wine is cheap but a small handle of smirnoff was like 35 so yea no hard liqour while im here haha. went back to the place and chilled with the roommate and fell asleep. this morning we had orientation at the school ill be going to and we learned more bout sydney, australian culture, and australian words. lots to remember but it will b good haha. then i went to lunch with the two ladies who are leading the program and my roommate and found out lots of stuff! apparently australian tv is about 6 months behind us so right now she said she is waiting for the new season of greys to come on because she doesnt know if george or izzy is going to die. yea very upsetting so i will have a lot of catching up to do wen i am home haha. saturday i am goin to the blue mountains and sunday probably beach with the group. there are lots of little intersting things that are very different then america but if i told u all of them id make the longest blog everrrrr. so yea thats bout it for now. miss u allll and talk to u soon!
