Ha!

So you have to explain (to me, and us LJ-ers.) What is happening in Australia? A study abroad? For a specific program? What is happening??

What do you mean? What do I know now, or what will I know as I go along?

Sorry - my question was really poorly phrased.

What prompted you to go to Australia (cool program for tech theater you found, a scholarship, realization that your life would be incomplete without holding a Koala? something?) What are your plans now for Australia, and what things are you figuring out as you go along?

The first, actually (I found an astounding tech theater program) combined with a desire to go somewhere I will have the least likelihood of being for any extended period of time at any other point in my life, combined with more reasons beyond that. I'm bumming around until I leave in late January, and at that point I'll figure out what in the hell I'm doing. Yeah. I'll keep updating. I'm sure it will be interesting. (I mean, they have a necropolis)

The reason for this is FOSTER'S beer. The cemetery residents learned very well how to drink it. The students are still learning and so do not qualify yet for residency there. Remember this lesson! Grandpa Volzer !!

Believe it or not, it's apparently extremely hard to find Foster's in Eastern Australia. Western australia has it some places, but it is not popular.

Probably will need a bit more research after you arrive to find out how this rumor was foisted on the gullible Americans. Grandpa
