First Day Down Under
I’m sitting in my hotel room in Perth, watching the sailboats and rowing teams out on the Harbor. I have a great view from my hotel room, and it’s a beautiful day.
When we arrived yesterday, after calming down from the bathroom disaster back home, Josh and walked down to the pier for dinner. We planned to take the ferry across, but the last one would not get us back in time. So we found a pub near there called the Lucky Shag, and sat down with a few pints of Victoria Bitter and some Fish n Chips.
We are staying in East Perth, near an area called Northbridge, near the tourist attraction Swan Bells.
It’s Friday now, we are 13 hours ahead of Houston. I’ve been working all day in the hotel room, and getting ready to go meet the boys for happy hour.
Lots planned this weekend: Surfing lessons on Saturday, and I found an Arts & Fashion Market on Sunday that i plan to go to.
Chris has also gotten me in touch with his friend here who is a musician, so Im hoping to hook up and do some live music hopping while I’m here.
I’m headed to happy hour mates!

I heard about that bathroom disaster. Sounded like your apartment turned into a steam bath. Did they charge admission?
Such an awesome view there. Incredible! Have a good time!
I glanced at your pictures on Flickr (I’ll sit down and look more closely after work today) and I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to find a job that sends me to such amazing places. Can’t wait to hear about the market.
I have flickr envy. A giant golden rat?!
Please tell me some posts about awkward moments caused by cultural differences are forthcoming. Also, please make someone take a picture of you surfing.
That is a beautiful view!!
Wow!
Nice one
John
