Australia is awesome. Why? Because we have beaches. Beaches that are made of awesome. So, my best friend and I spent four hours at the beach today, and came away with tan lines (well, I did, she tried her best to stay covered up because she burns even easier than I do) no sunburn and no dehydration. Also no hot guys, but, hey, we had a fun girly day. One of our guy friends was going to come along, but he pulled out.
I think one of the good things about Australia is the famous 'laid back' attitude.* I mean, I don't know about other cities, but around here in summer or spring or whatever it's totally normal to see people (well, mainly teenagers) walking around everywhere in bikinis or just boardies, even if they're nowhere near the beach anymore. Complete with beach hair, thongs (as in the shoes) and sunnies, of course. Like I said, I don't know about other cities, but I've always kind of had the idea that in most major cities, if you tried to walk through the middle of the CBD in just a pair of boardies or a bikini, you'd get quite a few weird looks.
And also this afternoon I had another driving lesson (manual) with my brother. I can now start his car without stalling, which I guess is an accomplishment... I'm fine with automatic cars, but unfortunately, I apparently need to know manual too.
* In my opinion though, at least some of it is less 'laid back' and more 'we're just lazy'.
