Sea World

Mmmmh this Saturday morning Ida and I woke up to freshly made breakfast - scrambled eggs with ham and mushroom made by the greatest host dad.

The plans for the day was Sea World - the third and last themed park including in our VIP pass. Luckily our host mom, Peggy, was so kind to drive us, otherwise it would have taken us over an hour to get to Sea World with public transport because the buses are always really late...

Sea World is a park where we were close to all the favourable marine animals like dolphins, sea lions, sharks, polar bears and penguins - It also had few water rides, which were perfect for cooling down when the sun got too hot. 

The dolphin show and sea lion show were the most incredible parts of Sea World! The dolphins' performance were simply amazing thus it was the first time I saw dolphins in real life.

The sea lions performed a funny theatre show with humans - and the sea lions' acting were so much better than the human actors ;-).

Also there was a Jet-ski stunt show, which really surprised us what these stuntmen could do on jet-ski. The stuntmen performed everything from aerial flips to gravity defying stunt - you could definitely call it extreme! Afterwards the girls and I really wanted a photo with the good looking stuntmen, of course :-)

The day ended with a great BBQ at home and a sudden firework coming from a wedding held at the golf course nearby. 

O-week at Griffith Uni

Today the O-week has started at Griffith university. O-week is an orientation week with activities and workshops to help/welcome new students get started at the University and also the domestic students coming back from holiday. 

The past weeks our Danish student group almost had the uni for ourselves, because all domestic students were on holiday. Only the international students - of which 80% were Asian - were studying in the past weeks. And yes - there is really many Asian students taking their education in Australia. 

Anyway, for some reason we also had entry to all the cool activities and best of all looots of free stuff from the workshops - though we are not new students ;-)

Among many things we got a water bottle, school materials, magazines, cap, bag, fruit & candy, calendar and a photo with silly accessories. In addition the school provided free BBQ, energy drinks and candy floss - I guess you can imagine how crowded there were at the workshops...

Right next to the BBQ outside there was a bouncing castle competition, which we of course also needed to give a try or two! The whole atmosphere at school was amazing - people were happy and the school hired a DJ playing music.
