Day 3 and 4 - Important stuff

 Do you ever get confused or flustered when someone asks you to "introduce yourself"? I can never think of something. So luckily at our team meet when we had categories - our name, where we're from, what we're looking forward to, and two truths and a lie. I don't remember what I said exactly, but I do remember people actually laughed at my jokes. Am I funny in Australia? If so, I'm staying here forever. 

I got to see the entire group together for the first time and I don't know how but God managed to put the most good-looking and epic people in my group. I have only been staring at them and admiring their awesomeness. Yes I sound creepy, but if you saw them, you'd understand why.

I am going to combine two days in this because I don't want to give you the itinerary, only the highlights. Two days of walking around the city, learning about the history, culture and the views. My God the views!😍 

We met a wonderful person named Sophie who was our guide and was talking to us about the culture. The best part was when she said that before colonization Australia was a matriarchal society (wohoo) and her Gran was reincarnated as a bird and was looking after her. That got me thinking, what would my grandmother come as? Honestly, I think a bird too. She always admired the freedom birds have. I think she would poo on people who bothered us. She had a funny way of loving her family. 

Only picture I have....🤭 

But you know, the views I've seen! I sound crazy when I say I believe in magic, but when you see natural and man made beauty shine bright in front of you, it would be hard to not believe in it. For the first time, my brain shut the fuck up and soaked it all in. I still couldn't believe I'm on a different continent alone. I didn't click pictures, I just wanted to stay there forever, even though I was cold and had to pee real bad.

After having spent a decent amount of time walking around talking to wonderful people, I've been re-thinking how I want my life to be. The sheer simplicity of the place I was in, the people I was with brought me the kind of joy I have never experienced before. How lucky are we to hop on a plane and go wherever we like, actually choose the kind of life we want to live and be able to find ourselves. I wish my parents and grandmother had the chance to make these choices. Well, if reincarnation is real i would certainly hope they come back and live the dream life they have always wanted. And as for me, I think I am enjoying trying to figure everything out.

P.s: I wish I could write details about a place like a travel blogger would, but I dont remember that much. So, this is what it is and sorry for the inconsistency.
