When I saw Daisies, I think they were really beautiful so I want to buy some seeds.

Today is a unforgettable day for me. In the morning, we went to Gorge Wildlife Park by bus. We had golfed the Koala there. They were very cute. While we were holding Koala, it was eating leafs. And the leaf smell so good. Then we had some free time. So I bought some animal food. And I went to the Kangaroo area to feed them. On the way, I saw dingo which is Australia animal, camel, wallaby. Finally I found the Kangaroo area as well. When I started to feed them, I was so nervous. However, it was different with similar, they were nice. But some kangaroo use there claw to hold my hand, because they afraid we would take away the foods. After feeling them, we had to leave. I will miss the kangaroo and koalas. We went to the chocolate factory. This is my second time to come. So I had target the chocolate that I want to buy. Soon, there are many chocolate, I can't choose from them, so I bought a lot. After that we had special lunch at Lobethal. Last we went to the Biggest sourenir shop to have shopping. Today all of us return from a rewarding journey. Pretty good day!
Last night I went to Christina's home to sleep for one night. Today, I went to Gawler Reach with Elly, Vicky and Christina. We went to Gawler Reach at the noon, so we had hot dog and coke for lunch first. There were many annoying seagulls there again! They always try to eat out lunch! After that we went to buy a ticket for watching Dolphins on the ship nearly. However we were too early, it started at 2:00pm. So we went to a small shopping mell near by. Then we got on the boat. That boat was very great. There is three level there and there is a lift! So cool! Also, there are restaurant there, so people could watch dolphins while they are eating lunch. Luckily the weather today is very good, so we can saw many dolphins. I told many photo for them. And we saw some ducks, birds nearly too. After two hours, we went back to the Gawler Reach. Then Elly manned me back to Susan's home. After packing my bag, I played card games with the girls, we went to the garden to play hide and side too. Around six, we had dinner early. Every Sunday, they are lazy, they don't cook dinner so we had cup noodles for dinner, same as last Sunday. But I found out Hong Kong's cup noodles is much more delicious than theirs. Good day today! Today, I went to the city again with my host sisters, Alexi and Melody. Soon, my host mother didn't go with us. So, we went there by public transport by ourself. After one hour, we finally arrived the city at 11:30am. My host sister brought me to the Victoria Square to see a new restaurant opening. After that, we went to the Central market and the Chinese Street again. Then we went the Rundle Mall had shopping. I bought some clothes, sweets and postcards there. Afterwards, we bought hungry jacks for lunch. And went to Botanic Garden to have a picnic. Then, we went there for a walk. The views there is very nice. And I saw wild ducks and many birds nearly. I like the Botanic Garden very much because there are many tree and grass. The garden are as big as a forest. Then we went back to our home at 2:45pm. However after 45 mins, I needed to go out again, and I went to Christina's home to sleep for a night. In the evening, we saw the star outside the house. The star was very beautiful. In Hong Kong we can't always watch the star that there are too much building there. So I had a lot of fun today. Today we went to the city, it was a beautiful day. The sky was very blue, and I like it! Originally, this morning was a rainy day. And all of us missed a bus this morning too. Bad luck! However the sky turned good when we arrived the city. Frist, we went to the South Australian Museum. The museum was big and I think it aready builded for many years. We visited a exhioition hall there which was about Australian culture that we learned yesterday and finished our worksheet. Then, we had lunch outside the museum. After that we went to the Central Market which is in the city too. We saw there were a China Street which has many China food, it felt very amiable to us. Afterwards, we went to the Rundle Mall to have a shopping time. There are many different kinds of shops and shopping mall. It was very convenient. I like the Rundle Mall very much because there were many shops there, and I think there is a bit look like the Central in Hong Kong. Unfortunately, we didn't had a long time for shopping. But, we all had a lovely Friday. Today, we had 4 lesson of Australia Culture Lesson and 3 lesson of Aboriginal Education to prepare for tomorrow excursion in the morning. From these lessons, I know more about Australia Culture, such as boomerang, digging stick, killer boomerang... Before lunch, we had school experience and joined Mr Warren's Drama Class. First, we played some group games with the Australia students so we could be familiar with each other. Then, we grouped to 5 people and had a little drama. Soon, I found out that they were very good at drama and their drama room was very professional. By the way we had a good time. We had lunch with buddies again, this time Valery and I went to libruary with them for a look. Their library is bigger then our school one. They had many desk for time to read book and study. Also they had 33 computers! That was very many! I think our school only had less than 20 computers and some of them can't use! So I think their library is much more better than ours.

From these lessons, I know more about Australia Culture, such as boomerang, digging stick, killer boomerang... Penguins !! We went to Victor Harbor to visit the Granite Island. There is a 1.5m scenic walk from Victor Harbor Main Street to the Island. Soon, there is a Horse Drawn Trarnway as a transportation. While we walking to the Granite Island, we saw some penguins! Unbelievable! I always thought that there are only penguins in South Pole. We had picnic lunch at the Amelia Park in Goolwa. Because of the park was near by the sea, therefore there was very cold and many seagulls. While eating lunch, there was a screech behind me. Oh! The seagulls were trying to eat my classmate's lunch. After that, we walked for a while at the Goolwa. We visited a boat call ‘OSCAR‘W’’. Lastly, we backed school around 1:30pm. By the way, we had fun today.

ANZAC biscuits is a popular biscuits. They are made with rolled oats, butter, sugar, golden syrup, white flour and coconut. And it was easy and quick to made. I think we only used around one hour to made it. After the lesson, I ate one and it taste so good. And when I backed home I gave it to my host mother Susan to have one. She said she love to eat ANZAC biscuits very much and it was yummy. |
