Agathe's Housewarming Party

Yesterday, Agathe, who is another SAC transfer from Paris, had a housewarming party that was French themed. There were lots of French cheeses, baguettes, crudite, crisps (chips), other munchies and of course wine! Here's some of the displays of food that she had.




She was actually afraid that there wouldn't be enough food. I think by the end of the night there was still over half of the food left. Below, Alex and Nicole are starting up the party.


Kim and I are relaxing on the couch.


We noticed that all the Americans came relatively on time, while all the Europeans came an hour or two late! After they all arrived, it's started to get crowded in the apartment.


Anton, Me and David making sure not to give up the valuable couch seats.


As the party continued, The later the party went, the weirder it started getting. The French theme started getting out of control.

Anton, Ele and Carlo are displaying their French moustaches.


Agathe and Ele were putting on moustaches on everyone, but somehow David ended up with something a little different.


Thanks Agathe for hosting such a fun party! After the party, Alex was kind enough to let us stay at her place even though she had to get up early to go to Ayers Rock! Thanks Alex!!!

Recently, there have been a lot of cruise ships in the dock. They take up a lot of space compared to our ferry that we take every day.


Australia's interesting fact of the day: Their staple condiment choice. In America, we use ketchup on everything. I would call it America's staple condiment. In Australia, they use sweet chili sauce on everything! You can find as many bottles of it in the supermarket as there are for tomato sauce (ketchup). Usually, in America we would only find it in Thai places, but in Australia they'll eat it with any kind of food. The most common and weirdest combination that I've seen is that seasoned wedges are always served with sweet chili and sour cream. Amazingly, it is quite delicious.
