Melbourne

Soo, I didn't update in Perth because I was 1) too busy and 2) I didn't have internet connection.
But anyway, a brief overview of Perth...it was a very nice city with a TON of Asians. We went around mostly with Auntie Emily and I hung out with their family a lot...I like having other Chinese people that share the same type of culture as my family, becuase there's not a lot of Chinese-Filipino Christians that speak our dialect of Hokkien. Everything is very comfortable and family-like around them...even though I haven't seen auntie Emily's kids since I was a little kid.
But anyway, everyone has been extremely hospitable and so generous. I haven't been hungry since I got to Australia. If someone isn't taking us out to eat, then they're preparing some elaborate meal for us. I feel reallly lucky.
In Perth we basically went to the wildlife preserve and did typical tourist stuff like feeding kangaroos and petting koalas, went boating on the river, and miscellaneous stuff like church and shopping...yah.
I went to the University of Western Australia's Open Day which is like a school's open house and it's quite different. The school had a LOT of different types of courses to offer...and hardly anyone lives on campus.
But yah. I'm in Melbourne for tonight. Today was pretty boring. We're in my Uncle Stephen's house and we just went to the mall and bought sheep placenta creme and I fell asleep in the library.
Yup. Hopefully tomorrow and the day after will be more exciting.
