So, this weekend in our wonderful world, Paul and I stayed in Sydney to do the two things you must do whilst in Australia: see an opera at the Opera House and go see a game of footie.Friday night was our gala at the opera and of course it was phenomenal. We spent the evening with a few friends from Bain named Leo, Alison, Christy, and Tess, all from the US save Christy who was from Hong Kong. We had what we thought were nose bleed seats since they were a pretty penny to get. However, the seating arrangement was so good, that we could see everything...

Well, it's been another weekend in paradise! We keep having most excellent adventures and I always look forward to my cleaning days when I report back to you guys. It was quite a packed weekend with so many photos. Paul took more than 400! Alas, we must wait until we can post these pictures because we have run out of data usage. That's the most frustrating thing about Australia. For Internet, you pay for data instead of just the service. Dumb!!! Then again, I'm an Internet junkie, so maybe it is just as well I have to rein it in. Anyway,...

G'day mates. How you going? That's always the question Aussies ask and I cannot seem to do it. Paul has been practicing his Aussie slang as of late and has incorporated "how you going?" to his vernacular. It seems impossible for me to see it either through habit from saying "how's it going" or from speech therapy classes. Whatever the reason, Aussie is not my style. But it suites Paul. Spellings are also quite different from the US. "Tyre" instead of "tire", "centre" instead of "center", using "c" when we use "s". All very new but not...

I know, the title says it all, but I must explain the rest of our vacation, so please, be patient. So, this weekend, Paul and I made the trip to the state of Victoria, one of the most southern states in Australia. Although it is south of us, we must remember that going south does not mean it will get warmer. In fact, it is equal to our going north. I did not remember this. Things are so backward here. Oh well, I didn't freeze, but it was a bit chilly. On Friday, we both went down to Chinatown and had some grade A Chinese food. It was funny...

Ok, so, Paul has been reading a book called Down Under by Bill Bryson and we have been learning a few things that we thought you should know (it's a really funny and good book and we recommend it). Last weekend in the Blue Mountains, we came upon this brown snake that seemed harmless enough. Later, one of Paul's co-workers told him that she had "never heard of a brown snake in Australia that couldn't kill you". The top ten most poisonous snakes...
