Today was a typical day of work, not too much excitement! I
am still working on getting sponsors for our event, which is proving to be
extremely difficult! At night we had a research seminar, where we had to
discuss with our advisors about our research papers.</div>

We had an event today, so I got to go on-site with one of
the planners and help set up and take part in the event. It was a good
experience because I got to see how things come together on the day of the
event, and how organized you must be! The event was the Bing Ad’s 1 Year
Anniversary in Australia. I got to meet some really important people, I met the
head of Microsoft in Australia and the head of Microsoft in Singapore. That is
my favorite part of this whole experience, is getting to meet people from all
over the world!<o:p></o:p></div>

Today was a good work day, I actually met the finance
director at Jack Morton, who happens to be from Boston! It turns out, she has a
lot of connections in New York, and said she may be able to help in the future
if I ever need! The second she heard me talk, she was like, “OH MY GOD YOU ARE
AMERICAN TOO!” Later that night, we went out for a fun night of dancing at this
really cool place called Ivy, which has an awesome outdoor pool!<o:p></o:p></div>

I got to go Olympic Park today! This is the site where the
2000 Olympics were held! I saw the swimming pool where Michael Phelps swam,
which was really cool! I also got to see several other venues and got to watch
some live Badmitton happening. The event that my work is hosting is going to be
held at one of the venues that was used for the Olympics, which is awesome!
Later that night, we made dinner in the apartment and went for an hour-long
walk through the city!</div>

This morning we had to get up really early for our group
trip to the Blue Mountains! The Blue Mountains is this beautiful mountainous
region about an hour and a half from Sydney! They are called the Blue Mountains
because from the distance you can see the mountains and they appear blue. The
first stop was Featherdale Wildlife Park, which had all kinds of awesome
animals! We got to hold a baby kangaroo, feed other kangaroos, and see
penguins!!! Penguins are my favorite animal, they are so cute! We also saw
crocs, Tasmanian devils, wombats, koalas, and dingoes! We saw this bird called
the Cassowary, which is one of the deadliest birds with really sharp claws, and
has been known to chase humans off cliffs! Another scary creature we saw was
the flying foxes! They look like bats on steroids, massive creatures that
literally gave me the chills just looking at them! It was really cool to see
all of these Australian animals that you can’t find anywhere else! After this,
we headed to scenic world, and rode the world’s steepest railway through the
mountains! Then got to walk along side of the mountains and had some really
incredible views! It was very foggy, so the mountains were hard to see, but
view was still amazing. There were some points on the walk where there were no
railings and you were just on the side of the mountain! After this, we headed
back to the hostel. A hostel is a cheap place to stay and each room has several
beds, in which travelers from all over come and stay in. The hostels attract a
lot of young travelers, and it’s cool to meet all these people! It was
absolutely freezing in the mountains, as it was snowing!!! I felt like I was in
Vermont again. A bunch of girls and I spent the night by the fire, playing card
games! However, when I went to bed I was so cold, and was practically shivering
the whole night!</div>

Today was a very adventurous day! We went to the Blue
Mountains again, and we went abseiling off a few cliffs in the mountains!
Abseiling is the same thing as repelling down the side of a rock. It was soo
cold, but soo much fun! Our instructors were really cool and taught us a lot of
cool tricks! After a couple rounds of abseiling normal, they showed us how to
abseil upside down! It was so awesome going down the side of the cliff upside
down! One boy in our group even did a 360, which was really cool! After this,
my friends and I warmed up at this little hole in the wall café and had some
lunch! After a good day of abseiling, we headed back to Sydney!</div>

Today we had class, which was thrilling….not really! The
first part of class was very boring, but the second half, we got to go to the
Jewish and Holocaust Museum, which was really interesting. It was very sad, but
the museum had some really cool artifacts and exhibits. My favorite exhibit was
these sketches an artist made that told the story of a 90 year-old Holocaust
survivor. The sketches were done beautifully, and really told the survivors
story. After class, we had the Arcadia 1<sup>st</sup> Annual Basketball Game!
There were two teams made up of Arcadia students, which were all guys and me!
My team was full of guys who had played in high school and they play college
intramurals at Indiana University. We played full court for two hours straight
(definitely a great workout)! It was so much fun, and my team is the undefeated
champs so far! I have to admit, I did get blocked a few times! After our game,
one of the locals was trash talking us and there was almost a fight, but thank
god everyone calmed down and no one got in a fight! Needless, to say it was a
really fun night!<o:p></o:p></div>

I can’t believe its July already! Today was another day of
work, and I spent most of the day calling different people about sponsorship
opportunities. My boss took me out to lunch and we got Chinese, where he
insisted that I use my chopsticks to eat my meal! My boss is quite the character,
that’s for sure! Tonight, we tried to make chicken, but I burnt it so bad that
the fire alarm almost went off, but thankfully I called downstairs in time so I
wasn’t charged a $1,000 fine! Did I forget to mention that I am not the world’s
greatest cook?! Hahaha, well on that note I am heading to bed, as the US is
playing at 6am tomorrow our time! Goodnight America!:)<o:p></o:p></div>

Today was a long day of work! After work, my friends and I
headed to Melbourne, which is a city in the state of Victoria. It was a little
bit scary flying out on Friday the 13<sup>th</sup>, but we made it safely! <o:p></o:p></div>

After getting just a few hours of sleep, we woke up at
5:30am to do a tour of the Great Ocean Road. We got on a white hippie van with
people from all over the world and traveled out to the Great Ocean Road! It is
one of the most scenic drives I have ever been on! The ride is 2-3 hours of
winding roads along the ocean coast! Along the way we stopped at several
locations to get out and look around. For lunch, we stopped at a beautiful
lighthouse and had a traditional Aussie bbq! We then headed to the 12 Apostles,
which are these beautiful rock formations out in the middle of the ocean! It
was here that my friend and I rode in a helicopter over the 12 Apostles! It was
the most incredible thing to see Australia from above! We got to wear the
headsets that the pilot wears, so that was also pretty cool. After this, we
headed to the rainforest and walked through it! Following this, we saw wild
koalas sleeping in the trees. To finish our tour, we headed to this beautiful
gorge and got to go out on the beach! It was a really awesome day!</div>

Today we took a 3-hour walking tour of Melbourne! It was
really cool because we walked the entire city. Melbourne is very different
because it is almost half European looking and half modern looking! There are
many cute streets filled with little shops and the best restaurants! I think my
favorite part of the tour was the graffiti filled streets, as the artwork was
really cool. I met people from China, Liverpool, Germany, and Italy on the
tour! It is always interesting to talk to people from different cultures and
hear their stories. We got lunch with a girl from the San Francisco who had
been traveling all over Australia and Asia for the past 4 months! We then
visited the Australian Open stadium, which was awesome!! For the rest of the
night, we walked around the city and went shopping. We had a late flight that

Today we had class, except not in the classroom, which is
always my favorite! We first went to the museum of Sydney, which gave us the
history of how the Opera house was built and why the Harbor Bridge was built!
We looked at Aboriginal artwork at this museum as well. The next museum we went
to was the World Press Photo Exhibition, which is a display of the top World
Press Photos! I saw a lot of really incredible photographs, most of which
showed the hardships taking place all over the world. After this, we headed to
the Royal Botanical Gardens, which is this huge park of gardens and unique
flowers. It is not only gorgeous, but peaceful as well; the perfect way to
spend a sunny afternoon! After this my friend and I headed to the climb the
Sydney Harbor Bridge! We climbed it at night so we had to wear beanies,
headlights, and these cool jumpsuits! We got to climb underneath and through
the bridge, in which cars and trains were going past us! After 1,394 steps, we
made it to the top of the bridge! The view was unbelievable, to see the city
lit up at night! It was a truly incredible experience, and a great workout!</div>

Today was a workday! What I thought was going to be a
regular workday, turned into an incredible day! It turns out that Coldplay was
filming their new music video for their new song Sky Full of Stars outside of
my bosses’ house! My boss is a really great guy and he let me leave work to go
be in the music video! It took about three hours because the band had to do 3
takes! Our job was to just dance and sing along with the band. During the
video, they shot out confetti and it covered the streets! It was so awesome
because I was only 3 rows away from Coldplay! After the video, we got to
witness a live recording session, as we had to be dead silent as the band sang!
It was an unforgettable experience to say the least! <o:p></o:p></div>

Today I started my second internship at Jack Morton, which
is a worldwide event production company! It was very professional as I had to
dress super nice and they gave me my own desk with two computers and a phone. I
spent most of the day observing and getting a feel for the corporate world.
It’s very intimidating I must say, and I’m not so sure a corporate environment
is the one for me after experiencing it! I like a smaller business and more
casual environment much better! After work, there was a huge rugby game on that
featured the rivalry of New South Wales(which is the state Sydney is in) and
Queensland( the state above NSW). New South Wales hadn’t won in 18 years, and
they were down 4-0 at the half, and then came back to win 6-4! The city went
nuts, you could hear people screaming and cheering the whole night! Australians
are very passionate about their sports, that is for sure!<o:p></o:p></div>

Today I worked at Jack Morton again. It was very interesting
today because I got to talk to the CEO of the Australia division of the
company. She was very nice and gave me some really great advice about becoming
an event planner. It was also a funny day because I was having a very hard time
understanding my boss! She told me to check someone’s diary, and I told her I
didn’t think I should do that! She seemed very confused, and I explained to her
that I don’t think its right to go through someone’s personal diary and she
explained that diary meant someone’s schedule! Then to continue the confusion,
my boss asked me why I was getting a bachelor’s degree in science if I was
studying business! I had to explain that that is the term we use in America!
So, working in another country definitely has its challenges for sure, especially
when the same words are used differently! That night we had to attend a play
for class and the theatre down at the beach. The play was good, and we finished
the night by going to Ben and Jerrys! (yes they made it all the way to
Australia)<o:p></o:p></div>

Today I went back to my other work on the Judo Festival. My
boss said he had a surprise for me this morning! He took me to this non-profit
organization that he works with called the Big Issue. The Big Issue is a
magazine that is sold to homeless or disadvantaged people, who in turn go out
on the street and sell it for double what they pay for it. This charity allows
these people to slowly get back on their feet. It is also unique because they
don’t just hand the people the money, they make them go out and earn their
money! It is fascinating that the Big Issue is the primary source of income
from these people. The magazine is just like any other magazine, with current
issues inside, as well as a section for the homeless people to share stories or
poems! Every two weeks, the magazine launches their new edition and the homeless/disadvantaged
come to pick up their magazines and sell their supply! The Big Issue puts on a
huge breakfast for them! I got to volunteer, which was such a inspiring
experience. I got to talk to many homeless people, all of whom were so nice and
they all had incredible stories. It makes you realize how lucky you really are
to have shoes on your feet and a roof over your head. Many of them were
cracking America jokes to me and were talking about their favorite NFL team!
One of the guys played piano and he was so good! Needless to say it was an
amazing day just getting to talk and meet these wonderful people who have had a
bad break! As I was heading home, I saw one of the guys I had met earlier in
the day on the street selling his magazine and he remembered me, so I bought a
magazine from him. It made his day, amazing how one little act can change
someone’s day! Kind of like the other day when that man put his umbrella over
me! After work, my friends and I got on a plane and headed for a weekend
adventure in Cairns!</div>

Today, we headed to a village in the rainforest called
Kuranda! We spent the entire morning hiking; probably about 3 hours of hiking
in total! We saw this beautiful waterfall! We also hiked all through the
rainforest, which was so cool to see what the rainforest was like! During the
hike, my friend and I went off the trail and found the most beautiful view of
the mountains and countryside! Sometimes you have to go off the beaten path to
find the best view! After our hike, we went to the koala gardens, where we got
to hold a koala! The koala’s name was Fred and he was so cute! Koalas have
sharp claws though, as little Fred cut my stomach! After this we got to feed
Kangaroos and Wallabies! They are so cute as well, and man were they hungry!!
It was really awesome because the kangaroos are just running free and you can
go up right next to them and pet them, feed them, and/or take a selfie!(which
most people were doing) After this we walked through the village, which had
many cool shops and cafes! Later that night we went back to Cairns and spent
the night in the city!</div>

<b>Sunday June 22<sup>nd</sup>:</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Today was a very exciting day! We woke up with the sunrise
and headed out to the jetty!(dock) We got aboard this boat called the Reef
Encounter! We headed out about two hours to snorkel the Great Barrier Reef!! It
was so surreal! It is always one of those things you read about, but never
think you will actual do it. Snorkeling was surprisingly difficult! I found it
hard to breathe through the mask and swim at the same time. The reef was so
amazing and there were so many colorful fish! We were right on top of the reef
at some points, which led to myself and a few others actually getting cut by
the reef! The second spot we snorkeled was so amazing, the water was so blue
and we were again touching the reef! However, the waves were extremely rough!
We were getting rocked and I found it hard to stay afloat! The waves were so
big that they would almost pull you down to where you thought you were going to
smash your face on the reef! The captain actually called us out of the water because
it was so rough! I struggled to even get out of the water because the waves
kept knocking me and I actually wiped out on the ladder! Although it was rough,
it was truly amazing to see the Great Barrier Reef! I can also officially say
that I found Nemo!!! The water was so salty that when we got back to shore, my
entire body was covered in salt! We didn’t do much the rest of the night, as
many of us were a little motion sick from a long day on the boat! </div>

Today we went to Tjapukai, an Aboriginal Cultural Park, that
tells the history and life of the still existing Tjapukai culture. This was the
most unique thing I have done so far! We got a lesson in how they make their
weapons and we also learned some of their language. We then got to throw spears
that they typically use to hunt! It was very difficult, and I was pretty
terrible at it! After this, we saw two dance shows, in which they performed
traditional dances for us! We got to learn a dance, which was really fun. After
this, we headed out to the field to learn how to throw a boomerang! It was
awesome!! I finally got one to return to me, and I got scared and instead of
catching it, I ducked and got hit in the head! It was really fun and I bought a
boomerang to bring home; I think I found my new favorite hobby! (check out the video: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=501079156692229&l=369775696292512605">https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=501079156692229&l=369775696292512605</a>)We then got our
faces painted by some of the Aboriginal women! We learned that they paint
themselves to resemble different things in nature. To finish our morning, I got
a didgeridoo lesson, which is one of the oldest instruments! The Tjupaki make
these from hollow trees and then hand paint them. There is a very specific
technique to play a didgeridoo! I wasn’t very good at all, but finally the
instructor and I got a good tune going! It was so cool to play it and partake
in such a rich culture. Everything they own from their boomerangs to their
didgeridoos are beautifully hand painted, and each painting has its own story.
I was extremely fascinated by the Tjupaki’s culture! After eating a whole pizza
for lunch, my friend and I rode a bus to this beautiful little beach called
Trinity Beach! It was so pretty and very peaceful. We spent the afternoon
relaxing in the sun and not swimming because there were signs that warned us
about crocodiles and stinger jellyfish in the water! After this, we headed to
the airport to head back to Sydney for another week of work! It has been an
incredible and action packed 4 weeks so far! I have just under 3 weeks left of
my time in Australia, it is crazy how fast it has gone! With that being said,
it is late here and I am on the plane back to Sydney, so I am going to get some
much needed sleep! Goodnight America!:) *P.S. I am having a hard time uploading my photos onto here, so when I figure it out, I will post an entire album!<o:p></o:p></div>

Today was our first day of class boo! We have class every
Monday from 10am-4pm. My professor is really cool and is challenging people in
class to a buck hunter tournament, you know the arcade game? When I told him I
was from New York, he started doing his Brooklyn cop accent, and it was very
good haha! In class we learn about Australian culture and history. I enjoy
learning about a new culture and especially enjoy listening to my professors
awesome accent. One of my favorite parts of class was when we learned all the
Aussie slang words! Here was one of the videos we watched on Australian lingo:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcAIr2-tCeg">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcAIr2-tCeg</a><o:p></o:p></div>

Most everyone started their internships today, but my
internship doesn’t start until next week. My friend also didn’t have to work so
we spent the day exploring the city. We walked just about the entire city and
went and looked in just about every store! The city is so huge that I find
myself exploring new things everyday! Later that night I found some new people
to play 1 on 1 with at the basketball court! It was a lot of fun to play
against random people!<o:p></o:p></div>

Another day off in paradise!! I spent most of the day at the
pool trying to get some color after being in snowy Vermont all year! I then
walked downtown by myself and went to the Contemporary Art Museum. Many of you
probably don’t know this, but I really love arts and crafts so the museum was
really interesting to me! They had paintings, sculptures, and other crazy
things in the museum. My favorite was the paintings done by Aboriginal
Australians! Later that night, my friends and I took a walk to the opera house
and spent the night there watching the awesome light show that has been taking
place! It is absolutely beautiful to just sit at the opera house late at night!
Very surreal<o:p></o:p></div>

Today was a really rainy day! I took the day to get some
rest and finally get rid of my jet lag! I watched a movie and cleaned up the
apartment. We had class in the pub tonight! (Australians do things a bit
different haha) The class event was called “Politics in the Pub.” We got to be
apart of locals debating about the new controversial budget in Australia. I
learned that the minimum wage is $18! During the end of the debate, many people
rose and starting yelling about overthrowing the prime minister! When things
started to get really heated, our professor had us leave the event; I thought
for sure there was going to be a riot!! <o:p></o:p></div>

Today my friends and I went to the famous Sydney market
called Paddy’s Market! This is the craziest market with many souvenirs,
clothes, fruit, fish, costumes, etc.! Everything at the market is really cheap,
so we all bought a lot of stuff since Sydney is one of the most expensive
cities in the world! After this, we went to the Hyde Park Barracks Museum,
which is where the first convicts in Australia lived. It was really interesting
because we learned that Australia was primarily convicts at one point! The
craziest stat I heard was that 1 in 10 Australians have a convict ancestor!!! We
got to lay in the hammocks that the convicts slept in! At night, we met some
more friends at the Argyle, which is one of Sydney’s most famous restaurants
and dance clubs. The Argyle is both indoor and outdoor and has three levels; it
was really cool! As a tradition, you have to Pancakes on the Rocks after you go
to the Argyle. So we headed to the best pancake place in Sydney for more food!
(I don’t mind<span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span>)
This place makes every pancake imaginable from dessert pancakes to chocolate
brownie pancakes! Needless to say I was in heaven<o:p></o:p></div>

Today we had to attend a play at the local theatre for
class. The play was called Young Tycoons, and it depicted some of the billionaires
in Australia. It was absolutely hysterical! I didn’t want to go to the play,
but I actually loved the play and had the best time. That night, we went to the
cutest little Italian Restaurant! Everything was freshly made! I would have to
say the food in Australia is good, but the desserts are unbelievable! We had
the best homemade cakes and shakes after dinner!<o:p></o:p></div>

Today my boss paid for me to go watch a Judo Competition in
a town called Wollongong. My internship changed and I am now working for a
millionaire who is planning the Australian International Judo Festival in
August! He wanted me to get a feel for Judo, which is a lot like martial arts,
but they spend a lot of time wrestling on the ground; it was pretty intense!
The train ride to Wollongong was so beautiful, as you go through the jungle to
get there! Once we got to Wollongong, it was equally incredible! After we went
to the Judo competition, we walked along the beach and did some random rock
climbing. There were all these rock formations that you could climb and

Today was a pretty boring day as we had class from 10am-9pm!
It was really brutal, but we got a lot of breaks and they gave us tim tams! Tim
tams are the best chocolate cookies you will ever have, I am addicted. Actually
though, I eat like 5 a day (hello Australia 15lbs!) One of the actors from the
play on Saturday came to our class and did a short skit for us. Later that
night we met with our advisors about our huge research paper and presentation
that we have to do at the end of the 7 weeks!<o:p></o:p></div>

Today I started work!!! I have to take the train to work, so
I am getting pretty good with the train system! I am very proud of myself that
I have turned into quite the city slicker, since I have always been a farm
girl! When I got off the train, it was pouring and I had no hood, no umbrella,
nothing, and I was supposed to meet my boss! I was so upset because I was lost
and soaked, when the nicest older man came up to me and put his umbrella over
me and walked with me until I found my boss. It was such an amazing moment,
just when I really needed someone. Makes you realize there are still some good
people out there in the world. Work was extremely challenging! My boss is
having me come up with sponsorship packages to present to potential sponsors
for our event. We are trying to get ANZ, the national bank here in Australia,
to sponsor us with $10,000! We are also looking to get other sponsorships from
many other large companies! My boss is having me put together a power point and
a presentation to give to ANZ and other companies. The thought of this
absolutely terrifies me, but it is such an incredible experience. I am being
challenged and learning a lot about how to plan the perfect event. I learned
that planning an event takes A LOT of time and research!<o:p></o:p></div>

Today was another day of work, in which I continued to work
on the sponsorship packages. I got to sit on a phone call with an event planner
and marketing manager who gave me tips on how to run events and get
sponsorships from large companies. It was so cool to be apart of the action! I
definitely make my share of mistakes, as it is my first time doing something
like this, but thankfully my boss is really understanding! After work, I went
to the store with my boss’ wife and we got candies and toys to make goodie bags
for their son’s birthday party! So I made goodie bags and my boss made a cake
and we headed to the park for the birthday party! Lots of little six year olds
running around, but it was a blast! All of the kids have to wear sun hats when
they go outside since Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer! The party
was a success, the cake was delicious, and the kids had fun! My boss and his
family are such nice people so it’s a great environment! Later at night, I
tried gelato for the first time and it was so good!<o:p></o:p></div>

Today I worked only half a day! I work from my boss’ house
and he is very laid back so he let me work on the porch. I am still preparing
my presentation and doing research on how I can really try to persuade the bank
to sponsor our event! I have met many local people in my boss’ neighborhood and
they are all so nice! It is so funny, because Australians love Americans! They
love American accents, and they also love Johnny Cash! When I tell them I am
from New York, they freak out. I try to explain that I am not quite from the
city, but they can’t imagine any other New York than the city. So many locals
tell me how much they love NYC. I guess I never really realized how much
America has impacted other nations all over the world! Later, my friends and I
went walking around the city, we walked for about 6 miles! Well, its getting
late here in Australia, and tomorrow after work my friends and I are flying to
Melbourne to visit the Great Ocean Road and search for wild koalas! I am also trying to upload all of my pictures so you guys can see them, but I am still working on that! Until next
time America! <o:p></o:p></div>

I have finally made it to Australia! I am so happy to be on
land after flying for 21 hours!!! When we got off the plane at 6a.m., we had to
go through customs and I got searched by the dog and had to get my apples
removed! I was so scared because I had to go to a separate area with the
security guard while they searched my bag! So if any one is planning on
bringing fruit into Australia, don’t haha!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

After I safely made it into Australia, we had to take the
train with all our luggage to our hotel apartments which are located in the
middle of Sydney! The rooms are very nice, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a
kitchen, a living room, and a washer and dryer. I live with three other girls,
one who is from Memphis and the other two are from Chicago! After this, our
journey down unda began!</div>

Adjusting to the time change has been quite difficult for
me! We are 14 hours ahead of New York time, so I have been pretty tired! After
we settled into our apartments, we went to Bondi Beach. This is a seriously
stunning beach! It is about 15 minutes away from the city and our hotel. Here
we climbed these awesome rock formations and the view was just unbelievable!
There is also a huge outdoor swimming pool right above the ocean, which is really
cool! We spent all day at the beach and then we ate lunch at a little café
which had the most delicious pancakes! After this, we had a pizza fest to end
the night!!</div>

This morning we did a walking tour of Sydney! It is such a
beautiful city! It reminds me a lot of New York City, except there is a lot of
architecture that is very European along the streets. There is a large amount
of Asian people here and many Asian restaurants! We walked through Chinatown
and walked to the Sydney Opera House and the Harbor Bridge! It is so surreal
how incredible it is! After this, we went grocery shopping since we have to
make all of our own food here! This was an experience because all of the food
is different so it took us probably almost 2 hours to find everything we
needed! For dinner, we went to The Apprentice, which a really fancy restaurant
and we got a five-course meal! The staff were all waitresses and chefs in
training so it was an interesting spin!<o:p></o:p></div>

Today we took the Ferry to Manly Beach, where we got a surf
lesson! This was awesome because I have always wanted to try surfing! We were
all given extremely tight wetsuits and a surfboard! It was so hard; I give lots
of props to surfers! It is a serious workout!! I found the hardest part was
standing up and then staying up! I wiped out many times, but also caught some
awesome waves! It is honestly such an incredible feeling when you actually
catch a wave! At the surf lesson, I picked up some interesting Australian lingo
from the surf instructors! If you say thank you, Australians usually say “no
worries” instead of “you’re welcome” They also say “how you going?” instead of
“how are you doing?” Another common phrase, which I am sure you have all heard
is “mate” as everybody is either “mate” or “love.” At night we went to the
VIVID light show, which is a 20-day festival in which all of the major
buildings and monuments in the city are light up at night! It is so awesome to
see the city light up at night!</div>

This morning I went to the park to workout and practice some
basketball! Here I met a kid named Max, who was also working on his game! He
said that he loved watching American basketball and his favorite NBA player is
Kobe Bryant!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Later in the day, my friends
and I went on the Sydney Tower Eye Tour, which is called SKYWALK. On this tour,
we went on Australia’s tallest building called the Westfield building. We went
all the way to the top and then walked along the edge while only being attached
via harnesses. We wore blue jumpsuits, which were pretty cool. From the top of
the building, we had the most incredible view of the entire city. At one point
in the tour we got to walk out on this glass where it was only the glass
separating us from falling to our death below on the street! After this, we
then went to the Sydney Aquarium! The cool thing about the aquarium is that you
go underground into these tunnels and sharks, string rays, and many fish swim
over top of you! I have never been to an Aquarium like that before! Oh, I also
saw a platypus, which is such a unique animal! To close the day, we went to
Darling Harbor, which is a beautiful little water front area and we saw
fireworks!<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Today we went to the Sydney Wildlife Zoo! We saw many kangaroos,
wombats, koalas, crocodiles, and many other weird animals. I learned that 80%
of the species found in Australia can’t be found anywhere else in the world! My
favorite part of the zoo was getting to go in the koala cage with three koalas,
it was here we got to be up close and personal with them as they ate eucalyptus
and climbed trees. It is illegal to hold a Koala now in most states in
Australia, so that was a bummer, but we still got pictures and got to be right
next to the Koalas! To top our Sunday night off, a few friends and I went to
the Lindt Chocolate Café, which was amazing! Lindt Chocolates makes those
amazing Lindor Truffles you all love! I got a molten lava cake and my friend
got a dessert waffle! It was incredibleee! Good friends, good food, good life
so far here in Sydney, Australia! That is it for week one here down under, I
will be sure to post next week!:)</div>
