1. The bus doesn't care that you're walking too close to the curb -- it will still brush by you and maybe even take off a limb or two.
2. You shouldn't be offended when Aussies make fun of you. It's part of their sense of humor and shouldn't be taken personally.
3. While 113 degrees feels like the heat from hell to us Americans, the locals are used to it. Avoid panting like a dog to blend in.
4. Eggs are never refrigerated.
5. There is no such thing as iced coffee (one of my least favorite realizations).
6. Even the construction workers are ridiculously good-looking.
It has only been three days since I got here, but I am already falling in love with this city. I'm getting used to walking on the left side of the road (after several harsh glares from the locals who I ran straight into) and am becoming familiar with the area, which is bustling and full of young people.
Tonight our program is going on a fancy boat cruise around the Sydney Harbour and by the Opera House.
So far, this is the only picture I've taken. Victoria Park, a 5 minute walk from my apartment.
