We went on a boat cruise for international students one night.

There was also Mardi Gras, which was a huge gay pride parade/event. We all dressed up in crazy costumes and took many pictures, none of which are appropriate for this website. Sorry Mom. 

We attended the first big rugby league game of the season – Sydney Roosters vs. Southern Rabbitohes (spelling? absolutely no idea). It was very awesome, the stadium was beautiful, and the spirit was very infectious. This definitely won’t be my last game!!

Nippers doing a relay race!! They were honestly the cutest and most well-behaved children I’ve ever seen. A program like this probably would never fly in the US. The entire program is run by parent volunteers. 

There was a HUGE surfing competition at Bondi. It made for an amazing day at the beach where we got interviewed by the crew of this really famous Aussie show Bondi Rescue, people watched, got free stuff from the different sponsor booths (I have enough Nature Valley bars for the rest of the semester) and watched some amazing surfers.
