Yesterday 5 of us Canucks and one honourary Canadian Jake from New York went to check out some real Aussie culture at a pro rugby match. It was great fun. We got seats in the front row right on the try line (like the goal line for those unfamiliar with rugby). I was so excited to be so close to the action but it really made me miss playing. It was a Super 14 match (teams from Australia, New Zealand and South Africa) The Canberra Brumbies were playing against the Bulls from South Africa. The Brumbies got their butts kicked 19-7 in front of 15 000 fans but we still had a super good time. I hope I'll get the chance to go to a couple more games.
Today was national Clean Up Australia Day so Cindy and I went out with 24 other people from ressies (a pretty piss poor turnout) and cleaned up all the crap people have been throwing off balconies, out of cars,or just dropping on the ground. My rez, Arscott House was definitely the worst. We've now had our balconies locked because of all the beer bottles and other junk drunken jerks have been throwing off of them. It makes me so angry. But anyway, it felt good to give a little back to the land I'm visiting.
