The apartment is fully furnished with a kitchen, living room, washer and dryer. We also have a huge patio that has a good view of the city. Of course, I’ve slept on the couch the past two nights… some things never change, right? Hey, it’s a really comfy couch!
One thing that I have always heard is that the water in the toilets in Australia spins in the opposite direction than in the U.S.. Well, I tested it, and it’s true!! I also think it is interesting that the toilets here have 2 buttons…one for a half flush, and one for a full flush. What a great way to save water!!
For all you tennis players out there, the apartment complex has a tennis court to play on… a GRASS tennis court to be exact. How cool is that?!?! My friend and I both played in high school so we are super excited and hope to play soon.
The apartment sits on this enormous hill that we have to walk up and down on whenever we go to town. Needless to say, we don’t have to worry about gaining weight here…we walk everywhere we go!

Two things that I will never take for granted when I get back to the States… owning a vehicle and easy access to the Internet. Australia is definitely not as connected as the U.S.. Get this… the closest place to get decent wifi around here… McDonalds in Chinatown!! Yep, we travel halfway across the world to end up sitting at a McDonalds talking to our friends and family.
If you want to buy Internet at the apartment, it’ll cost you $24.95 for 24 hours. Or how about go ahead and get it for the month while you’re here… for $200…uhhh, no thank you.
