Well this weekend I....
We had an awesome time in Fremantle Friday and in Perth on Saturday night. Fremantle is this little port city and it reminds you a lot of Charleston with all shops and restaurants and the open market. They have two markets (we only got to see the main one) that are only open from Friday till Sunday each week with people selling all kinds of stuff and a huge farmers corner with all kinds of fresh food and veggies and stuff. We walked through and the people try and get you to buy some by giving out free samples so we just pretended to be interested so we got some free food :) Finally ate dinner out for like the first time on our (meaning not free food supplied by Curtin Uni) own since we've been here and tried to find a good Italian place which proved hard to do but we ended up at this place called Benny's that was a really modern looking place but the food wasnt too bad and I'm really still getting used to the fact that we don't tip here...not that my wallet minds any.Then we had the Fremantle Prison tour which was CRAZY! It was a torchlight tour so they try and scare you with ghost stories and people dressed up like prisoners jumping out and tellin stories and stuff. Our guide was awesome....but it was really weird to be in there though knowing what happened there only 14 years ago. (cause it just closed in 1991).
Then we kind of relaxed all day Saturday and had an eventful night when we went into Perth to a few bars and clubs at night. Quick explaination..basically Renee got robbed by a couple of Aboriginal girls on the train into Perth but it was only $5...we still told the police and they're gonna get back to us soon. Then poor mville almost lost her MultiRider in the machine before having to run through the train station to catch it back to Oats Street....then we were all stranded at one point or another at the train station waiting for a taxi to pick us up and take us away from the dodgey homeless aboriginals wandering around. We were all home safe tho and that's what matters!
Sunday was a work day cause I had a lot of reading for my Gender Studies class and we have a draft of a paper due the week we get back from Bali so I want to get that mostly done this week before we leave, which shouldn't be a problem at all.
FYI BALI ON SATURDAY! I'm looking forward to buying tons of stuff for like no money at all! :)
OH! And today we FINALLY got a TV! So tonight I got to watch Friends and the news and stuff for the first time since I've been here! Quite exciting ya know....but yea...that's about it for now. Just one more day of classes on Thursday then its packing Friday and off to Bali on Saturday! CHEERS!
