I just received my first proposal in Australia. Jokingly, I was offered $10,000 by a guy peddling Oxfam Australia so he could move to the US and I could extend my stay here. Too funny.
This morning we attended calligraphy class. I'm a natural, the teacher claimed, as I practiced angle and pressure. We broke for tea about half way through and chatted with the 8 other ladies taking the course.
Next stop, Macquarie Centre. It's another cool day with no worries. So, just a bit of Christmas shopping-- though it hardly feels like the holiday season here since it's light until after 8pm and most people are dressed for summer, not a Nor'easter.
I'm starting to notice the distance from home a little more, as I've made failed attempts to contact family and friends over the phone in the very limited window that all locations share as "waking hours." I take that as a reminder it's a good thing I passed on that "offer to stay."
Aussie Words of the Day: pram = baby stroller, jim-jams = pajamas
