No I am just kidding. This entire week, my group and I have seen advertisements for this Pako Cultural Festival in Geelong, so we decided to check it out. It was really hot and sunny today, so besides the crowd it was really fun. We took the bus there then started going from stand to stand to see what types of cultural cuisine was being offered. The first stand we stopped at was the Australian Aboriginals who were serving kangaroo. I had to try it. It was pretty similar to lamb in texture and taste. I don't think I would order it at any restaurant, but it had to be done. We then made our way to a Korean stand where they had these potato chip like thing on a stick. They were delicious. There were foods from every where you can imagine, along with live cultural entertainment. It was a pretty cool festival and supposedly the biggest free festival in all of Oz.
Yesterday, Kate said she wanted to go into Melbourne to go to an American super market to buy graham crackers to make s'mores for Australians because they don't have the slightest clue what they are because there is no graham crackers to be found here. We all decided to join her. We took a bud then a train to get into the city. Our plan was to go to the Melbourne Zoo because we were told it was "heaps of fun." It was also a nice day for this, but it got cooler at night.
Tomorrow is the start of orientation week, or O-week on campus so Deakin has a lot of events set up, so hopefully the weather is nice and we will all check it out. I am pretty sure people start to move into my building tomorrow, so maybe I won't be the only one and I can meet some more Aussies!
