Part One: Explorers
I arrived in Sydney on Monday, 14 Dec to reunite with my roadtrip buddy and good-times friend, Mariana. Now she'd brought along her boyfriend, whom she works with in California, Willy, and we all hit it off instantly. The three musketeers! The next day I was told that we'd be going on an adventure to find a ship wreck and along the way we picked up Mariana's uni friend, Mel. So the four of us went on our merry way. There are some awesome pics from our morning of fun. (I'll post them once they send me them)
I don't want to give too much away from our special day, so I'll sum up by telling you about our next day of exploring, this time at Royal National Park. We sought a waterfall, but instead found a magical lagoon and cove....
Part Two: Visas and Christmas Cake
Well great news! My student visa and business/tourist visa were both approved on Thursday.
NB: I was advised it'd be a good idea to get the B1/B2 visa in case I wanted to travel after my semester of study. And the consulate guy totally upsold me. If you pay $US30, you can have your B1/B2 extended for five years, which I completely agreed to. It was the most fun I'd had at a visa interview and I've been to a couple. I worked the room like a smooth potato pie. Met a couple of other kids going to Texas. And concluded my visit by being offered a piece of Christmas cake when I went to collect my bags from security. Now that's an interview for the books!
P.S. We went to see Avatar the night before my interview at midnight, not really advisable seeing as I got to bed at 3:30am, but really worth it. You have to see it in 3D!
