Bond University- ROBINA, AUSTRALIA (Queensland)

Our first week was awesome! The different places we live are so much fun, and give us such a different variety of things to do. The classes we are taking are all very interesting. The three of us are in Australian Pop Culture together :). It has been a challenge to get around campus because it is so big. We also have got to get used to the opposite traffic thing. These Australians drive like maniacs. 


Everyday has been beautiful, and getting warmer as it creeps into Spring. Nights get chilly, we wish we brought more stuff to keep us warm. That's when we jump in the hot tub or sauna. 


We are going to have to get used to the price differences over here...good thing we worked as hard as we did this summer! A pack of ketchup (approx. a table spoon) is $.30, water is $4.00, and a burger is $12. It's wild, but we are getting used to it.


Last week was "O" Week which is orientation here at Bond. There were some themed get-togethers like a Toga Party and Tight and Bright. People got real into it. They don't celebrate Halloween over here so it was fun to dress up and meet new people. 

The oceans are like screen savers. SO BEAUTIFUL.
