Wildlife on Campus

"Crikey! Look at these beauties!"

Over the last couple days I've been taking some pictures and videos of some unique animals that are found around campus. Here are my findings:

^Here is some nasty turkey buzzard thing, they eat everything... even trash bags.^

^Black Parrots^

^Kookaburra^

I have an American phone number!

"Well that's pretty neato!"

I found out a way to have a phone number from the US and have it ring over here when people call. It actually calls my computer. It's pretty cool, I have a voicemail and everything. Just be sure to check the clock in the upper right-hand corner before you call. :-)

The number is (678) 369-0645

My New Girlfriends

Here is a picture of me and my new girlfriends Colline and Donna. They are the dining hall ladies.

^Colline, Me, and Donna^

Colline says that I am the gypsie of my family because I am the first one to make it down to Australia. This is after I asked her what was for dinner, and without skipping a beat she answers with, "ME!" I just laughed and she took a step back and said in her Australian accent, "Wot? I took a showa!" They are awesome!

Aussie Toilets

"That's not what I expected!"

Here is a video to put to rest any questions of how the toilets flush here in the Land Down Under. You may be surprised.
