G'Day from South Australia

And there we have it folks, I have changed location and therefore, blog name. Turns out I won't need my grey overcoat for awhile. Oz does that for you.

Yes, Oz. Currently, Adelaide. City of churches. Yet to see an LDS one though, which is different from what I'm used to! It is the most beautiful city, I think I'm partial to it because it reminds me of home. Boise, Idaho home. I've been here since Tuesday, and already managed to do most of the touristy things- I've held a koala, fed an emu and plenty of kangaroos, and taken the O-Bahn into town. Its this odd half bus half train contraption which everyone is quick to tell me is German.

Adelaide prides itself on being a town of German settlers, as opposed to Sydney, Melbourne and Perth's English convict ancestors. Personally I don't think it makes much of a difference- I'm proud half English, and half English convict. A little bit nice, a little bit naughty.

I think I'll completely skip over Singapore, except to say that it is hot, shweaty, and crowded. I felt like I was in an overcrowded fish tank at a pet shop.

We are staying with Tree's aunt and uncle, who are absolutely lovely, and have been having a great time, but they have instilled the fear of God in me about spiders. Big ole' huntsman spiders that apparently hide in my fleeces and sheets until I go to put them on- those huntsmen love the element of surprise. Oh, and those super dangerous Australian ants they have everywhere, who can smell sweets miles away and are impossible to get rid of. I'm going to leave here scared of everything!

And Tuesday, we are going grape picking. Yes, honestly. Starting at 6:30am! It will be really hard work, but if nothing else it is out in the sun and something I couldn't do in ole' blighty. I'm a bit excited, really.
