I'm in Australia!!!
It's actually not too exciting.
The weather's been wacky. We went to downtown Sydney today (Yesterday I just fell asleep over my book for a couple hours and then we went out to dinner and had lobster for $40 and it wasn't even that good. My mom makes it better.) and went to the QVB, or Queen Victoria Building. The big clocks there were amazing!! I'd upload photos right now, but I'm on my mom's mini laptop (which sucks, by the way, it took me FOREVER just to open up Internet Explorer) and I don't think there's a SanDisc insert thing...
We couldn't really buy anything there. Everything was a bunch of big brand names like Coach and Vivian Chan Shaw and stuff.
HOWEVER, my dad and I got caricatures from this Chinese guy... I forgot his name. Sad.
The pictures were so cute!
My neck was super long. Heh. Makes me look like a giraffe.
After QVB, we toured around for a little, popping into souvenir shops and almost checking out the Sydney Tower... until we found out the ticket prices. Children's tickets were $14, but the normal ticket+skywalk?
$44!!!
Seriously. What the freaking crap??
So we left. Kind of depressing. I don't even get to visit my own tower.
We walked around some more and found this food market called FoodHall.
AMAZING!!
There was this juice/yogurt place where we got medium juices (they were actually pretty big, I didn't finish mine til almost an hour later when we got home) and samples of delicious frozen yogurt. Then we tried out this "Tasty Thick Large Beef Sausage" which was also very delicious :) We ended up buying 2 kg for dinner! My mom just finished cooking them I think.
We also bought fresh, warm mini cookies which turned out to be SUPER yummy.
Finally, we took a long train ride home. Sort of like a subway I guess, but not underground.
They call the restrooms the toilets here. And on this pool schedule, a slot read "Mums, Dads, and Bubs".
I thought it was funny. And adorable. Heh.
I am so seriously jetlagged. Don't feel like taking a nap though. It's almost dinner.
Must. Stay. Awake.
Arghh. Well I'm going to go now. I want to eat... Sort of. *yawns* And then maybe I'll read a little and go to sleep early. Heck, I woke up at 6 today for no reason... I'm waking up at 6 on vacation on accident, but I can hardly find it in myself to wake up willingly at 6:50 for school (I usually end up running a tad bit late on those days... or I end up forgetting something important at home).
Well. Goodbye for now.
