I have friends.

MY FRIENDS ARE HERE TO VISIT! My roomie, laura, and our other friend laura. I prefer to call them laura squared. I LOVE HAVING THEM HERE! but at the same time, having them here makes me miss home a lot. I try not to think about it because, heck, I AM IN AUSTRALIA. When will I ever be here again?! But yet, it's been a whole 4 months since I left. It's the big and little things that I miss about America. like the prices for one, everything is a million more times cheaper there. I definitely miss American food, everything here taste different, even if it is the same thing like McDonalds or Subway. I can't put my finger on it, it's just not home. I miss American ketchup! Here the 'tomato sauce' has a sweet taste to it. I should probably stop venting because when I get home I will definitely miss a lot of little things about Australia, like the iced coffee for one. It is like a iced latte (expresso, milk, over ice) but instead of it being over ice, it is over ice cream! DELICIOUS. How come I never thought of this wonderful invention?! I will also definitely miss the fact that I can walk anywhere I want to go or take transportation and be basically anywhere within 30 minutes. I can walk to the market, grocery store, the shops, the bars, the ocean, and the train station to take me into perth. It is quite a good life here. I just have to keep reminding myself of everything I love about being here so I don't miss home as much. Because before I know it, my home for the last 5 months will be all gone.

I went to the premiere of Hangover 2 tonight with about 40 of my American friends. It was exactly like the first one and got me in the mood for Thailand. It takes place in Thailand, so we got to see where we will be in the movie. Perfect timing for that movie to come out. I leave for Thailand in about 2 weeks. SOO EXCITED! :) and I am heading to Rottness this weekend for the whole weekend. It is an island off the coast of Fremantle and apparently gorgeous. I'll obviously blog about it after the weekend.
For now, here are some photos from the previous week:

swimming in our kitchen!

When to a place where they have a million different Asian foods. AMAZING, Asian food heaven! Every single Asian food you can think of: the typical chinese, then you have Malaysian, Thai, and even have indian, freakin sweet! I wish we had Asian Heaven at home. It is called Old Shanghai. YUMMM. Talking about it all makes me want some.

Us with our Asian food!

After, our asian food, we decided to head into the arcade to play some DDR. Josh got his wallet stolen from right underneath him! He got it back from some random person that found it. Luckily it was only ten dollars lighter and because of this, the arcade guy gave us $30 of arcade games free! What a nice guy!

Being goofy on the train to Perth for the night. A lot of fun!

Drove our friend Levon's car home because he drank a little too much. I navigated and Lez drove with Levon in the back. Interesting experience driving through the city to say the least. We got through it tho!

These our the host sisters! Mackenzie(15) and Macy(10)

A guy painting on the side walk in Perth, AMAZING!

The footy oval. I blogged about this once before, but this time I was at the Eagles game and not the Dockers.

The face off!

Kels & I at the game

Final score: Eagles:175 Bulldogs: 52, for those of you who don't understand footy, that means that the Eagles beyond dominated. They haven't won by that much in a very long time!

G'Day until next time.
