Easter Dive Trip - Camping

Here in Australia, Easter commands a 4 day weekend and comes as the clock changes and the cool weather arrives.  Its a little like Labor Day I would say.  So with a four day weekend, the Adelaide University Scuba Club goes to Marion Bay on the nearby Yorke Peninsula.  It is a weekend of diving and camping.

Now I know this one isn't Australian.  But it is here.  And it is strange in so many ways.

And in honor of the New York Auto Show:  Cars!

Well, now I am back to the point of last week's post where I can't think of an odd thing.  This is a problem.  So I will discuss the grocery store.  Its probably not really odd, but it is different enough that a stumped mind can think up enough to write about.

When you see the Southern Cross for the first time...

Now that I have been here a little over a month, I finally took the time to stop and look up at night.  I've watched the fireworks, which were up, but they were kind of bright.  And the smoke did in the stars pretty well.  I've been meaning to for a while.  At least when I am close to a computer and can have an idea where I might be looking.

I'm not entirely sure of the proper etiquette on this one.

But click here and read.  Then click on whatever other links you want I suppose.  I guess that's how it works.

When you first get here they tell you about the psychology of an exchange student.  First you have up ad downs before you leave.  Then you get there and have your "honeymoon" period.  Then you get sad and home sick.  Then you level out for a while.  And then before you go home, you get the jitters again, then have a home "honeymoon" and then you miss Australia.  And then it all levels out again.
