Exploring the City – or Gustav Has His Head in the Clouds (Sunday, 7 August)

We started our Sunday by finally getting our running habits brought back to life on the other side of the planet. We went on a 5K run on the sidewalks in our neighbourhood up to a nearby park, which turned out to consist of mostly a baseball and softball field. Although we rather would have liked to run in a forest or a park, the mere feeling of finally running again was joyful!

In the afternoon, we decided to go into town and have a look around. We ended up walking up this huge hill in the neighbourhood “The Hill” (shocking, right). At the top of the hill, we found the ruins of a lighthouse and the monument The Obelisk. The Obelisk is very similar to Washington Monument, although the first mentioned is smaller. It was actually built before its bigger sibling in the U.S.

The reason for the construction of the obelisk is also interesting. Where it stands, a windmill was ordered to be built in 1819. After the mill had become succeeded by other mills, it was demolished to the distress of the shipping companies, which had navigated by the landmark. So, therefore, the obelisk was built.

As it was starting to get late, we went down to Darby St where we looked for a place to eat. We settled on a restaurant called Zinc on Darby. Linnea ordered a nachos plate and Gustav ordered chicken schnitzel. We shared a pear cider from the New Zealand brewery, Monteith’s. It was really nice.

After dinner, we walked to the bus and went home to have our usual Sunday night skype date with our parents.

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.
