What the hell am I doing in Australia?!

Travelling for twenty four hours is pretty brutal. I felt incredibly gross :( The vegan airplane food was pretty sweet stuff, though! Plus sides: you get food before everyone else, it actually tastes really good (compared to other stuff I've had, besides Cathay Pacific food (that stuff wins always)), no animals were harmed in the making of your meal. Down side: nil.

Answering everyone's questions all at once:
  • There are a lot of Vietnamese people. Seriously. Think of all the Chinese people that you see in East Van/Chinatown/Metrotown/everywhere and replace that with my people. I can't decide whether it's awesome or not. We'll see.
  • What is awesome is walking through Cabramatta (a suburb insanely populated by Viets) and finding vegan Vietnamese restaurants so easily. Like damn. So proud.
  • It is pretty hot and humid here, which is another reason why I feel like I'm in Vietnam. I just want to jump into a swimming pool every minute I'm standing outside.
  • It is currently 7:35pm here. Which means it is 12:35am in Vancouver. Do the math if you're elsewhere :)
  • I'm staying at my cousin's friend's house and paying $50/week for rent.
  • I will not bring home and/or ride a kangaroo or koala bear. You're asking a VEGAN?!
  • I have yet to run into any hot aussies, sorry ladies.
  • I have only spent a day and a half here, I have not done anything yet besides eat and swim outside.
  • I have no plans, are you kidding?
I spent five minutes crying inside a library (where I currently am) because my cousin had left to go home and that was my first time literally being alone. It's so scary. I just want to be able to crawl into my bed.

Anyway, I'm going to keep updating my Facebook status since it's the easiest way for everyone to know what's going on. End of the week will have a video hopefully! Sorry if I don't respond to all of your messages quickly. I'm trying to keep my time on the computer limited.

Until next time!

  3. I don't think you can ride a kangaroo or a koala (note: it is not a bear, just call them koalas). But you can ride a camel. : )
