I got into Sydney about 2 weeks ago but I just now got internet in our apartment. I'm gonna try and do my best to keep this blog going while I'm here but no promises.
Everbody's really friendly here and refer to us as "mates". The toilet does flush the other way, they drive on the left side of the road, and it's winter here so I was freezing my balls off for awhile until it warmed up last week.
I was couped up in a lodge for about a week until I found an apartment to live in for the semester.
Here's our living room of our apartment. We have two bedrooms, and I live with two girls from UT and a guy from Singapore that I met while I was searching for housing. That couch is where I sleep for now until we get another bed to put in the sun room.Our apartment is right in between Coogee Beach (about a 15 minute walk) and campus (20 minute walk).
This is Coogee Beach. Once it warms up, I'll be there everyday.
Last Saturday, we went on a ferry to Manly Bay. Here are some pictures we took on the way:
This is me with some indigenous Australians right before the ferry ride.

Plenty of good times to come...Stay posted!
PEACE,
