Ramp escalators, Pink Limos, and Karaoke!

Hello Hello Hello! It's 2 o' clock in the afternoon and I just woke up. Sweet. We got home from karaoke at about 4am this morning, so I'd say it was a pretty successful sleep! But before I get to that, here's some other stuff first! So okay, Australian malls are a lot different then American malls. At the first store you go to, you get a cart (or actually PAY to use a cart) and then that cart you bring around with you to every store you go to. For example, if you start grocery shopping first, you'll take your grocery shopping cart with you to the hardware store, and the clothing shops and etc...its weird. But then that raises the question of how do you get up or downstairs with your cart. Soooo dun dun dun DUUUUN- a ramp escalator! Instead of our stair ones, they have these ramps that you can bring your cart on. They're actually pretty hard to stand on since the incline is so steep! Oh yeah, and you've gotta call it a trolley- not a cart. Anyway I think it's fascinating!

After shopping we were supposed to be going back to the dorms but we passed a hot pink, stretch, Hummer limo so OF COURSE we followed it until we got good pictures!
It was sooooooo pretty! I seriously want that.
Okay so later that night we all took the train down to this bar for karaoke called "Kent!" and yeah, the exclamation point is part of the actual name! On our way there we were all thinking of songs that we wanted to sing... until we walked in and realized its not fun karaoke- its karaoke for serious singers! FAIL. So only one girl from our group preformed a song...but dang the rest of us went NUTSSSSSSSS for her and shook the whole place (pictures coming...) Here's the girls from our group. I'm not sure where the guys were for this...

Here's Beth singing! She was incredible! And she won the $20 prize they were giving out! She lives on my floor and is really really really sweet!

So drinks at this pub last night were ridiculous! They were $9 bucks for a tiny tiny tiny mixed drink (as shown) and only $4 bucks for a beer. I don't understand that. Oh- and I have a feeling that I'm going to regret putting this picture up later, but for now its okay- I had my first enjoyable beer in my life! It was exciting aaaaand it was definitely a long night after that, so I'm going to stop here with the pictures! Haha

How's everyone at home doing?! NAU friends- I hope you all have fun on Spring Break! Daddy, Betty, Andrew and other extended family- I miss you guys LOTS!!!! Anthony, Katie and Hauren- Love and miss you guys too.... Today I'm obviously not doing much since it's basically already over. I think tomorrow night we're doing another picnic on the beach with more people so that should be fun. By the way- thanks to the people who sent me mail! I've gotten 3 letters this week...each one makes me SO happy! All is well on this side of the world, hope its good over there too!
