the first week

My first week in Australia has been nothing short of amazing! I love everything about this place so much, the laid back lifestyle is just my thing! "Cruzie" as they say!
Seeing Michele has been amazing, I can't believe that it had been 10 months since I had seen her and once I saw her it was like we hadn't spent a day a part. 
I may need to be dragged home at some point -- she was right. Once you come to Australia you love it and never want to leave! Sorry Mom & Dad!
In my first week of being here...
I met my new "flatmate" Line! She is from Norway, she's is great, I love her!

Kait, Me, Line

I have landed at job at Hard Rock Cafe, which I am super pumped about! Tonight is my first night! 
My new friend Drake and I rented a moped and went to the Currumbin Wildlife Centre -- I got to feed and pet a kangaroo, see koala bears and dingos. The dingo eating a baby business is actually a law suit here!

Kait and I went on a pretty hilarious moped ride last night down the coast! Driving on the "wrong" side of the road is quite different. I may have gone on the wrong side, which would be the right side for me, a couple of times...I did make it out alive. There were times where I think we should have pulled of to the side of the road because we were laughing so hard! 

I have had a taste of the Australian night life and its amazing just as I thought! Thursdays are ladies night where ladies drink for free, and the majority of the clubs/bars are open until "late" as they say here. Late would be about 4 or 5am! Just my scene!
Weather wise it has been okay... Seeing as it is the dead of winter here and we are still able to wear shorts most days I think I can handle that. In the middle of September it will start to warm up and summer will hit!
So Mom, I know you have been waiting for this update, so here it is!
Love from Australia xo
