Yes I am back in College

I am changing the time so it reflects the date and time in Australia.

I feel I like a college student again. Being on a campus has been very entertaining. Talk about memories from the past. The University of Wollongong is really very beautiful.

Facts I have learned.
*For those of you interested...There are NO happy hours here to speak of.
*No tipping is allowed. People get very offended if you offer to tip.
*They drive on the WRONG side of the street. If I don't make it back it is because I have been run over. It is hard getting used to looking in the opposite direction first.
*They have scandals in their politics also. So we don't have think we are alone in that.
*Asians speaking with an Australian accent. It just doesn't seem right.

I'll list more another time.

Tonight Brian and I are going to the art museum in town for an art opening and fund raiser. Sue if you are checking the Blog you will be interested. It is called Bloomin Art. Sound familiar. It is the same as the Hospice fund raiser. Florists create designs to match the art pieces they are paired with. I will take pictures if it is allowed.

Tomorrow we are taking the bus back to Sydney so we can fly to Melbourne. We are spending 3 days there and will rent a car so we can drive back. We will spend the night on the way back in Eden. It is a very popular vacation spot.

I wish we had time to go to Coober Pedy. It is one of the largest opal mining towns and most people live underground. It is just to far. But I am going to see some of the opals that have been mined from that area while we are in Melbourne. If I can find any in the right price range I will purchase. But most have been very expensive.

I am going to say bye for now.

Everyone take care!
