Confessions...

I like tea. Like, legitimately like tea. As in I want to get a little water heater and a variety of different little tea bags when I get home. Never thought I’d turn into a tea drinker.

I’ve officially had 5 full cups of coffee in my lifetime (that’s almost more than I can count on one hand!). All of them have been “dirt” coffee – the instant type. Dirt coffee is pretty much the only type of coffee here. I’ve only ever had Australian coffee...isn’t that sad?

I’ve killed 3 spiders. Not big ones, just hairy ones. My roommate is afraid of spiders, so she sicks me on them. I kind of feel bad for the little guys. They were just crawling around the wall, minding their own business. Then I had to kill them. It’s a bit tragic.

I haven’t seen a single ice cube in 3 months.

I hardly even notice the Australian accent anymore. It’s become the new normal.

Whenever I watch an American TV show/movie where they drive a car, I have a moment when I think they’re driving on the wrong side of the road. Following that moment is a feeling that they’re going to crash and die, even if the music in the background is pleasant and not alluding to anything dreadful. Then I remember I’m in Australia, they’re in America, and we all drive on different sides of the street. Hopefully when I start driving again, I’ll remember which side of the road I should be on…

One load of laundry will easily wash everything I brought with me. And I like it that way.

  3. Sometimes I still think people driving on the right side are going to crash.. because they should be driving on the left! In Cambodia we drive on the right and the left and the middle, going in both directions. :)

    Enjoy the tea!!!
