Sunday Session

Ok so it's been a while...

Yea so I've gotten kinda sidetracked since I've been home from the Outback and haven't had a chance to update yet. SO let's backtrack a bit and talk about the weekend before the tour up the west coast.

So the weekend before the trip turned out to be a pretty busy one. Our RA's here in George James organized a Friday night trip to the theatre in Perth to see a ballett presentation of Cinderella. Yes yes I know....ballett, but I figured I might as well go see the theatre and get a bit of culture while I'm here so Lara and I went along with 14 other people from Curtin to His Majesty's Theatre. It actually wasn't that bad in the end, just longer than it needed to be I think.

Then Saturday was Grand Final day in Australia, which is the same as Super Bowl sunday in the US. The local team from Perth, which ironically is also the Eagles, was playing in the game against the Sydney Swans. It was an awesome game, but unfourtunaly the West Coast Eagles ended up losing a close one to the Swans. So due to the loss that night ended up being pretty quiet and we went to bed kinda early so we could go to the Perth Royal Show the next day.

The Royal Show runs for a week here, but since we were going away on Monday and woulnd't be back until after it's over, Sunday was the only day for us to go get our first Royal Show experience. I guess you could say it's equivalent to a state fair in the US, but at the same time it wasn't just rides and food....their was a lot of livestock, animals and other things going on to keep you occupied when you weren't riding on one of the $6 fair rides. (Yea, $6 for a freakin ride....kinda ridiculous!) But they have these things called "show bags" where all the companies and vendors come and sell bags of their stuff for really cheap prices. Anything from clothing/sports teams to obviously candy and chocolate. We ended up buying 3 Cadbury chocolate bags for $10. Went to a really cheap fashion show on the side and saw a hypnotist show where we watched Mville get hypnotized...quite humours as well. We spent almost the whole day at the Royal Show before heading back into Perth to meet up with a bunch of other friends to go out to dinner to celebrate Sarah's 21st birthday since we were going to be on the tour when her actual birthday happened.

After dinner we came home to pack up our duffle bag and get up way too early the next morning to leave on our tour....
