Its been due for quite some time...

What's going on mate? It's been way to long for this thing to be desolate, I finally bring to you an update of my travels here in Australia! I have been at the mercy of Vodafone for internet, just as I bought it, they were doing maintenance on their towers.

So for the jist of it, I have been here in Australia for two and a half weeks. All I can say is WOW! My first week here I chilled in Cairns with the AustraLearn group. Was a lot of fun. My time there was well spent as I dived into the unknown culture with everyone else. We were explained customs here in studying, how grades are managed, to how to socialize with everyone. One of the big things is Aussies definitely like to tease and have fun, and I mean a lot of fun.

My first week I chilled in Cairns. When I arrived there, it was pretty warm, 80 degree weather. Was absolutely perfect! I almost regretted taking my winter clothes due to how warm it was. But hanging out there was pretty sweet. Got to see the rain forest, plant some trees, throw a boomerang, and see the great barrier reef. Twas a lot of fun.

Onto last week now. I arrived in Sydney airport on the 18th. There really isn't too much to report here except I have no car for transportation. I stocked up on food and supplies for my apartment and learning the public transport system here. It can be very frustrating. I have learned one street here, which has a lot of cool shops and things to do. Other than that, I went down to downtown and explored and found the Opera House, which is pretty sick! Meeting new peeps and enjoying the time.

I'll upload all the other pictures some other time. Hopefully, this will get you guys by for the meantime. Have a great day Mates!
