			In Australia!
	From left to right: John, me, Mike, Kate, Nick, Sid (dog), Rob and Elliot. Mike (from the UK) is the guy I went to Oz with, he's a fellow English teacher here in Japan. Mike's friend Nick and his girlfriend Kate spent a whole week with us showing us the sights and taking us around. Rob is the owner of the house where all these people live and Sid is his dog. John on the left is Rob's uncle and Elliot on the right is a student from Brazil also living here. Thanks all of you for everything, it was a great trip!

Unusual Birds!
		Australia is full of interesting birds. The one on the right is an Ibis and you can see lots of them just walking around parks in the city. They look kind of like cranes with their long necks and beaks, and are sometimes aggressive if get too close. You can also find some wild parrots if you're lucky. I managed to get a close up of this guy on the left eating a pack of sugar at this outdoor cafe. At first I thought they were pets of the cafe's owner until he came out and shooed them away with his hat.

Kagaroo Barbeque!

I expected to see kangaroos, koalas and wombats wandering the streets of Sydney, but sadly enough I saw none of these things. To make up for it, me and the guys decided to have a good ol' fashioned kangaroo barbeque. There was no koala on the shelves, but we managed to find kangaroo steaks, 'cajun' kangaroo kebabs and kangaroo sausages instead. If you ask me, kangaroo looks a little like beef, it has the same colour and consistency. The taste is more gamey though, similar to venison.
