    Sydney has the best of both worlds-the city life and surf/beach lifestyle, and that’s what made it so unique and fun to live in.

  • 13 days in Bali

    13 days in Bali is more than enough time to do sightseeing and eating to your stomach’s content of ono grinds, but it’s not enough time if you want to surf as well.

    Last Saturday, we had a field trip in Cronulla for our Marine Environment class. We took a bus and a train about an hour south of Sydney and were on a ferry for about 3 hours taking sediment samples with a grab.

    Recently, Maile and I have been cooking a LOT. We probably have been spending more time shopping for groceries and cooking than studying, but it’s been so worth it!

    For our mid semester break, IES flew us to Cairns to experience the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest which are both World Heritage sites. It was an amazing trip of a lifetime and had so much fun!

    Our IES group went on a day trip on February 25 to the Featherdale Wildlife Park and the Blue Mountains! We got picked up in an impressive double decker bus early Saturday morning and went to the Featherdale Wildlife Park for our first stop.

    One night we bought kangaroo steak from Woolworths and grilled it on the outside grill right on Coogee beach with some of our flatmates. We also grilled some garlic bread, marinated onions and garlic with carrots too. This was both our first time eating kangaroo, and I had no idea what to expect.

  • A week in Sydney so far

    2/24/12 • (0)

    Sydney has been an amazing experience so far and I am constantly comparing the food, the plants, the beaches, the people, and everything else to things back home in Hawaii. A lot of things are similar, like the weather and plants, but many things are different.
