Special Olympics.

Ecco. Se oltre ai portatori di handicap e mutilati vogliamo aggiungere gli australiani ubriachi ai partecipanti, ho già pronta la disciplina: tiro alla barista. Le donne tirano bicchieri pieni d'acqua, gli uomini monete da 1$. Se riescono a fuggire dal locale PRIMA di farsi cacciare dal buttafuori hanno vinto.

If someone feels the need to add more partecipants, drunk aussies should be good for the "Bartender Skeet". Girls use water glasses and guys 1$ coins. If the can run out of the venue BEFORE the bouncers kick them out they win.

The Sweetest Thing.

Sì: la cosa più tenera che i tuoi amici alcolizzati e i tuoi baristi preferiti possano fare da oltreoceano è dedicarti un ciccheto, e mandarti un messaggio, dicendo che sentono la tua mancanza.
E' quel genere di cose che riesce a farmi sentire un tantino nostalgica, ma che mi mette anche di buon umore per tutto il giorno. Come queste foto.

The cutest
thing that you favourite bartenders and your alcoholic friends from overseas may ever do, is drinking a shot FOR you and texting you. Saying that they miss you.
It's that kind of thing that manage to make me feel a bit homesick, but also make my day. Like this photos

Rocket Science.

First Theorem of The Exchange Student's Life: no matter how hard you try, you will NEVER submit you're assignment in advance. Even though you really think you CAN behave this time, and do not spend the night before it's due working on it.

More random facts:
- Given my excellent analytical and statistical skills, I can say that in Sydney there are way more Thai food places than garbage bins. You can have a really good green curry chicken every five steps, but you will probably carry your apple core for 1 hour or 2. If you DO care about using a bin, because mostly australians just throw their crap on the street.
- Same with chinese bakeries.
- There are definitely more possums than cats.
- The more sleazy is the guy you're serving a drink to, the less is likely to leave you a tip.
- Most of the australians actually do NOT surf.

Motivational.



Well I won't back down, no I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down

Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down

Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground and I won't back down

Well I know what's right, I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
But I stand my ground and I won't back down

Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground and I won't back down
No I won't back down.
