What have I been learning?

I've been learning a lot since I got here so I thought I would share some of it:

1. Goon = boxed wine (which is very popular because all other alcohol is super expensive here)

2. Skunk = to chug (i.e. to skunk a beer is to chug a beer)

3. Uni = University

4. Variation = add / drop week (which I am working on now)

5. BYO = bring your own alcohol (most restaurants in Sydney actually advertise that they are BYO)

6. The streets will tell you which way to look (i.e. Look Right -->)

7. Spiders are huge here! I saw my first one the other day... They are really scary!  Luckily it was outside so I just ran away.

8. Birds are not scared of humans.  Multiple times I have been walking on the sidewalk and they will fly towards me instead of away from me.

9. Everything happens earlier here.  People go out earlier, people come home earlier.

10. Gelato > Ice Cream.  There are gelato stores everywhere here and a lot less ice cream shops.  And some of the flavours have really funny names.
