Australia an Acronym

I officially am living in New South Wales Australia in a city called Newcastle. I have been traveling non stop since San Francisco and have just returned from a Wedding in Brisbane. Now I am trying to get settled and live out my quest of experiencing life as an Aussie.

I am really trying to make an effort to keep up with my blog while in Australia, so here I go in attempt to keep a promise.

Here is what I have learned about Australia the past week in the design of an acronym!

A is for amazing crystal, clear beaches with huge waves that I have yet to not almost drown from… or lose my top from. Must fix this!

U is for Utes are cars that have truck beds attached to them, every time I see one I want to laugh because it looks so silly seeing a car have a truck bed… Lizzie’s          Dad has one, must drive in it at least once!

Sandals are called Thongs here… that has taken time to get used to…

Talking is always away for me to stand out, I was a told by a person that they didn’t like the American accent, I was slightly offended, they later apologized.

Right sided steering wheels are so weird, even after almost 6 months in England, I still can’t get used to them. When I sit in the passenger seat I feel like I should be driving the car. And when I look behind a car with no one in the passenger seat, I freak out inside because it looks like no one is driving the car.

Apocalypse (zombie) a dust storm took over the Australian skies that had some of the population convinced that the end of the world had come and they were left behind. it even made CNN check it out….

Lizzie has been a great host, and I am enjoying meeting her friends and family. She is such a good friend and loving person; I cannot believe that God has blessed us with such a tight bond after such a short while.

iphones are so much cheaper here in Australia it is just not fair. To buy an iphone you pay 50 dollars a month where in America you have to pay at least 200 bucks for the device and like 80 dollars a month for service. No Fair!

Aid. My new friends have such caring hearts for the world’s impoverished people. It is so inspiring. They live out a great example on how to love the world and fight boldly on making poverty history.
