It was incredible,Its just so different from what is normal here. I probably would of never found any of that out if it wasn’t for that presentation!
That was soo cool! it was real awesome of the cool things i (and everyone) learned, I think i’m gonna do some research on more later…
i really liked the fact that we were actually talking to her. not just in email. i thought all the pictures she showed were pretty sweet. also, i thought it was cool how we are used to different surroundings and habbits.. yes, we dont say put your bookbag in the boot… i still find it awsome, though. i love australia so much! (not to mention thier accents!)
I thought that was so cool, for anyone who missed that, I wish that they could have seen it!
