Live and Learn

Hi Everyone!!!

I only have a few minutes to post, but I wanted to let everyone know that we made it to Sydney safely, and we are soooo excited to be here! The area we are staying in right now feels a lot like living in New York City or any other big city. Yesterday was very warm and sunny, but today is cloudy and a little cooler, so we didn't get to a beach yet. I'm so excited to see all that Sydney has to offer. With the beaches, big city, diversity, and scenery, I know this is the perfect place for me to be studying abroad. Everything is extremely expensive in Sydney (usually double what we pay at home) and we are learning A LOT by trial and error. For example, one smirnoff ice costs $10.. whoops! And buying cheap towels to shower with will result in blue fuzz all over your body. And caesar salads are $18 here :(. And you should definitely grab a cart at the airport for luggage when you have 2 large suitcases, a rolling carry-on, and a backpack. And if you forget that you have an apple in your backpack from the airplane you WILL get ridiculed for being a stupid American by security at customs. Oh well, this is exactly what studying abroad is about right? I'll keep you guys updated!

Love,
Megan
