Happy Australia Day!

Yesterday (Thursday) was Australia Day!  I am not really sure what Australia Day is for, and neither were any of my Australian friends! But they were all very sure that it is a good time.


We went out to the Woolshed Baa, an Australian (or apparently "Southern Hemisphere" themed sports bar.  We had Australian Beer which was pretty good, and danced to a lot of Aussie Music!

I've had fun talking to everyone about some of the differences between Australia and the US.  Some vocabulary issues have arose, for example:

torch = flashlight

uni= college

porridge= oatmeal

hungry jack's = burger king

There are many more too! Before we went out we jammed to some Aussie music, so here is some of the favorites of the night for your listening pleasure!
