it rains everywhere...

another monday morning here i am reflecting back on the past week..all i really can think of is that it rained. rainforests really do mean rain i guess. there was one nice day last wednesday which was ANZAC day (similar to our memorial day) so we had the day off school. one of my friends/roommates here has found an austrailian navy man so we got up at 6 am to go to the ceremony and see all the festivities. it was really cool to see all the different branches of the service and the ceremony was interesting as well. especially when they sang thier national anthem and i tried singing ours...the rest of the day was dedicated to service men and them letting loose and having the day off -- aka drinking. let me tell you sailors know how to drink! it was so funny seeing everyone in the day in their uniforms but they all made sure to take thier name tags off in case a boss or someone saw them. it was a fun day overall. nothing more exciting happened this week unfortunetly. i have about 6 or so weeks left i think (im not trying to keep count!) so i am trying to get all my bucket list things off before i leave. i booked my ticket to Fiji so i am for sure going there at the end which im assuming will be an awesome way of ending the trip! ill put some pics up of ANZAC day and other randoms. sorry i dont have anything else to add ive just been doing homework and papers :( sad part....

  1. Hey Jess - I just love reading your stories. You are too funny. I didn't get to Brisbane or anywhere further north of Sydney so your trip is making me put Australia back on my list of things to do.

    I've been to Fiji - it is absolutely beautiful, and alot of Aussie's go there for Holiday since it is more tropical and warm. Just be prepared, everyone moves on Fiji time...so don't be in a hurry to get anything or go anywhere. It is a great place to relax.

    Keep the notes coming.... hugs!
