Week #2

So, we've been here for nearly 14 days now. This weekend is my last free weekend before I start work. (Believe it or not, i'm really excited to begin working!)

Last weekend Chris and I met up with some friends (Judith & Co.) and turns out one of Judith's friends just graduated from AGSM (his name is Noah). It's amazing what a small world it is - Noah is actually from Worcester, MA and he moved to Sydney a few years ago. So, we joined up with Noah, Judith etc. and went to this great concert in the park and met up with about 7 or 8 other AGSM students! There were some really interesting and friendly "mates" from his program who were from all different parts of the world - the UK, New Zealand, Africa, Venezuela and of course Worcester, MA. (Chris can fill you in on his first week of school)

The concert was right in downtown Sydney at the Domain which reminds me of the Hatch Shell in Boston. Only difference is... 100,000 people show up for these concerts, everyone brings wine, cheese and other fun snacks and just dances until the music stops! This weekend they have "symphony" music playing and the following weekend is "opera" music. These concerts and festivals are all part of Sydney's Summer Festival. Here's a link to other events - Sydney Festival Link



There's so much more that we've been doing, so i've added some more pics below... I'll write more later this week and next week is Australia Day which is their equivalent to July 4th. I'm sure we'll have pics and stories to tell!

Thank goodness we're learning our way around the city!



Miss everyone and hope you enjoy the pics!
