G'day blog readers!
It's been awhile since my last post, and so much has happened! Sorry for the delay in adventure updates!!!
For starters I'm loving my new job as the Smith family au pair. The girls im watching are super sweet, but keep me busy! I think we are all learning from each other!!! Living in small town Yass is fine, and it's a great base for exploring. Although the town is very small, one main street with shops and a population of 5,000, it has everything I need! Annnnd there is a Target! Nothing like the Target back home, but still exciting. Yass is full of beautiful old Victorian buildings and I love the mountain hills in the distances. And to top it off my back yard has amazing sunsets each night.
My host mum and dad are also very sweet and supportive of my adventures. I'm a very lucky girl! Since arriving in January I've been to Batemens Bay, Wellington, New Zealand, Brisbane, and most recently Melbourne. Crazy to think I've done so much traveling already! My favorite travels have been Wellington and Melbourne, both because I loved the cities and I was reunited with friends. I love a big city with a small city feel, and that's what Wellington and Melbourne had to offer. I could easily walk around and take in the sites and not feel overwhelmed. And to sweeten the trips I got to see friends from home and from Paris!
I still have a lot more adventure ahead of me! I will try to be a better blogger and keep in touch!
Now for an Australian grammar lesson.
Australia = 'Stralya
Afternoon = avo
Weekend = week end
Mc Donald's = maccas
Melourne= Melbin
Toasted sandwhich = toasted sango
How are you? = How are you going?
Darn or oh no! = shivers
Silly or goofy = bugger
Friend = mate
In summary abbreviate and don't pronounce r. Or pretend you're a pirate!
Sorry for lack of pictures, turns out I can't post them from my iPad......
Loving life!
