Cheap Chewsday (Tuesday, 2 August)
On the evening of Tuesday 2 August, we went to an event we had heard about where international student associations make a big dinner that you can be a part of for a gold coin (as previously mentioned 1 or 2 dollars). This time, it was the Australia-China Youth Association (ACYA) that were making the food.
After class, we waited around til 6:15 pm at which point we met up with a whole gang of people that all were going on a chartered bus to the Cheap Chewsday.
When we arrived, we sat down at a table together with three American exchange students, and we were later joined by two Australian guys who knew the president of ACYA.
We were served a two-course meal. The main dish consisted of rice, a spicy vegetable stew, chicken wings and a tofu dish as well. We had seconds of everything except the spicy stew.
For dessert, we got Shui Guo Tang Yuan, which is a dish consisting of rice balls and fruit cocktail. It was nice and sweet, but the fact that is was served hot, and the rice and fruit combination was a bit unusual for us.
After dessert, we hurried through the rain to the closest bus stop and caught the 100 bus home with our stomachs full and sunshine in mind.

Ebb and Culture in Newcastle (Saturday, 30 July)
Our Saturday started by going into town by bus and walking to the Ocean Baths, right next to which we had spotted a good place for looking at shells and smaller sea life during ebb. We spent some time walking around on the rocks.
A man that was there with his children helped us spot both starfishes and a crab. Can you spot the three starfishes in the picture above?
Watching the sea life was really amazing! But when the waves started crashing in with the incoming tide, then we decided to head back up.
After the ocean bed exploration, we went to the Grain Store to have some lunch. We both ordered a burger and a glass of cider each. It was delicious!
After lunch, we first walked along the wharf but then decided to walk up Darby Street. A short distance up Darby St we found Newcastle Art Gallery, which we have wanted to visit. So we went in and had a look around. There were a lot of aboriginal paintings, but also some video exhibitions, as well as a collaborative exhibition of drawing on small stones. We both drew on a rock each. The motifs took some inspiration from the Aboriginal style seen previously. When we were done, we put our rocks in the collection. Can you guess which two rocks we painted?
When we went out of the gallery, we were in the mood for some fika. So we went to the wharf and the Mövenpick ice cream bar for which we had gotten a discount for a tasting on Groupon. So we enjoyed a “basket” of ice cream and a coffee each and relaxed before going back home again after a peaceful day in the city.
