Bushdance

Bushdance is not Aboriginal Dance. Bushdance is more like country dance. We realized that yesterday at a barbecue-dinner organized by the International Education Office. Free food, free drinks, nice music. Needless to say, we had a lot of fun. Yes, we went dancing. We also met a few students from Germany who have already spent a semester here and gave us some very important information on Canberran nightlife and travelling (thanks, Claudia!). print

First day of classes

Today was the first day of classes. So far, everything is fine… The weather is quite cold right now, with freezing temperatures at night and about ten to fifteen degrees during the day. The days are rather short, with sunrise at seven and sunset at five. We do, however, get lots of sunshine. In the first couple of days, it was quite rainy and unpleasant, but the locals told us that this was the first rainy period for over two years. Understandably, they were quite happy about it. I added the weather button to the left column. print
