Brisbane Weekend











So I know it's been a while since I last blogged, but I guess a lot has been going on. I only have two weeks left down here in Oz and time is flying! Two weekends ago I spent time in Brisbane with friends from college just enjoying what the city has to offer. Went to Chinatown with Allie, had a BBQ with Impact Friday night, went to the horse races all day Saturday, and then an AFL game on Sunday. Super fun weekend just hanging out with friends and doing stuff in my "home town."

At the races, everyone gets really dressed up and all the girls wear those cool hats like in Pretty Woman. Oh and I made my first ever bet on a horse, $2 that it would win, but I lost. It was a good learning experience though.

One interesting thing about AFL is that after the game they let everyone come onto the field and just goof around. A live band plays and everyone just kicks balls around and enjoys the afternoon. Pretty cool to go onto a professional playing field. Can't say I'll ever be able to do that in the states.
