Down Under

The last couple of days I've been feeling a little dizzy: I must tell ya, it's hard to walk upside down in down under.

According to a credible source, here are things you absolutely have to do while you are in Australia:

1) See the Kangaroos, Koalas and other local creatures.
To do this, we visited the Healesville Sanctuary, where native australian animals chill in the sun and demonstrate how sick and tired they are of endless tourists and school groups that come to see them everyday.
Lazy kangaroos don't even move when you approach them and wombats hide under the log to avoid communicating with you.

2) Support Australian economy by drinking Australian wine.
Australian wine industry is the fourth largest in the world and Australians consume over 400,000,000 litres of wine per year. So accomplish this task, my dad and I visited a Domaine Chandon sparkling winery to taste some of their exclusive champagnes. The tasting room has
breathtaking views of the vineyards, mountains and autumn trees.

3) Mix with locals and learn local slang
I attended several gatherings that involved tasting of delicious food/wine with local people. I was making big efforts to understand Aussie accent, while chewing on a nice piece of venison or lamb. I was even lucky enough to meet a group of people to introduce me to Melbourne nightlife. They were all from different coutries though: New Zealand, US and Australia, but lived in Melbourne.
It can be more compared to european, rather than american: nicely dressed girls and many many guys wearing trendy t-shirts, shaking their styled hairdos and dancing to house music. The crowd is pretty young - you don't need to be 21 to get in. You can wear sneakers to fancy clubs, but then again, I'm talking about the clubs we went to. Melbourne lounges are even more laid back and friendly.


4) Do something you can brag about later
That is why we are planning a trip accross Australia. We will drive about 3000k in the middle of nowhere to see Uluru, the big australian rock, and hang out with local aborigenes. I will try to keep you updated, but not sure if there will be wireless in the woods.
