Update

In the last couple days I have just been exploring Adelaide and its surrounding areas…Have I mentioned that I am in love with this city??? Anyways, a group of us went down to the beach and just had a fun time. Nothing too exciting, we just worked on our tans and explored the shops around the beach. The next day we visited the botanical gardens of Adelaide, while drinking wine and eating cheese, crackers, and sausages. We are quite sophisticated down under.

Knowing me, I had to make a trip to the Adelaide Zoo. It is quite convenient in Adelaide, and everything seems to be close by. The cities nickname is actually the 20 minute city. Adelaide is located in the state of South Australia, which is known for being the driest state on the driest country on earth. Water is a scarcity here. Anyways, back to the Zoo. There were some weird animals at this place, especially some funky birds that I have never seen in my life. It is hard to describe, but they were quite the lookers.

Differences between the U.S. and Australia

- There is no added sales tax to all purchases. If it says $5.00, it is $5.00.
- There is no need to tip when you are at a restaurant. Waitresses are paid around 25 dollars an hour.
- They drive on the other side of the road.
