My Australian Accent Sounds Southern

This afternoon, Nina and I decided to be adventurous and explore the area. We were looking for a place to grab a bite to eat. After consulting our Sydney guidebooks, we realized it might be best to just venture out on our own and see what we could find.

We started down Broadway in the direction of the mall (which we have ended up at every day so far, and my wallet feels a lot lighter because of it) and passed a couple cafes. Australia is really big on cafes. We stumbled into a beautiful open courtyard that was lined with little restaurants. We made sure to pick up take-out menus from them. It's funny how you can find such pretty, serene places like this just a few steps away from the busy city streets.


 We decided on a place called Project 8 - a humble hole-in-the-wall that was opened up in the front.

















The menu was fantastic. Both poor at decision making - and both poor - we decided to order two items off the menu and then split them.
















Sandwich #1: free range eggs with avocado and tomato on toasted sourdough bread.


Sandwich #2: Chicken burger with grilled vegetable relish, garlic mayo, cheese, lettuce, and spanish onion.

Yummm. I was happy that we got to enjoy the beautiful weather (74 degrees again!) and discover a new spot.

Tonight, I had my first class abroad - Film Production. We learned all about how the significance of lighting in film and received our first assignment: pitch two ideas for a film that have to do with Australia. I have until next Tuesday...any ideas?

I'm really excited for the rest of my classes, internship, and great things to come.
