Food, music, beach, Aussies galore...plus a drunken Irish man whipped out his junk while in line at McDonalds to go pee...i'd call that a pretty successful day.
The weather here is hormonal. It was freezing in the morning, then it was 100 degrees in St. Kilda, and then it was FUR-REEZING again. Make up your mind Melbourne!
Monday February 14: Crazy Australian Jenga
I am so impressed with Australian Jenga...it's just one gigantic game of stealthness, speed, accuracy, and fear all at once. It's fun because you can actually get hurt if the blocks topple over...so watch your toes :)
Tuesday February 15: Dumplings and Mini Bar-Crawl
First day of international orientation and first night out. We went to a little bar along the Yarra River with a very very nice view. Then we had dinner in a little chinese dumpling restaurant. The food was okay, but the dinner conversation was great. Then we stumbled into a rooftop bar which was pretty awesome. I love rooftop bars, we must make our way back one day
Wednesday February 16: Queen Victoria Market
The Queen Victoria Market is this cool mix between Granville Island, the Night Market, and an enormous Flea Market. It's really really cool. There was a lot of food stands, and a lot of stands selling clothes, jewellery, nick nacks and paddy-whacks. It started pouring rain halfway through dinner, and we got drenched on our way home. But it was an interesting train ride, as we spent most of it discussing HIMYM and Supernatural with a random Aussie we met on the train. Gotta love public transportation.

Thursday February 17: First of many nights at the Nott
Tonight was my first night at the Nott. The Nott (Notting Hill Pub/Bar?) is a local pub that EVERYONE at Monash Uni goes to on Thursday nights. It's a tradition. I have to say that any night that involves music and the wild flaying of my arms that I call dancing is a good night. So, it as a good night...from what I remember :}

Friday February 18: Red Scooter
To end off an awesome week, the international kids headed off to Red Scooter for a night of fun and dancing. It was a pretty cool venue, despite the fact that it was wedged between 2 dodgy-looking buildings, in a real sketch alleyway. Other than that, it was fantastic inside. It was really pretty, with lots and lots of chandeliers, just the way I like it :). We were served wine and little sausage rolls, and we spent the night taking pictures and tearing up the dancefloor. Then we all headed to the after-party...which was hard to remember as it was really dark inside the venue and I am a lightweight ;). All in all, a really really good night!
