I promised you yesterday that I would give you some interesting Australian lingo, so here it is:
- Jumper = A Hoodie Sweatshirt
- Scull = Chug a Drink
- Carpark = Parking Lot
- Toilet = Bathroom
- Taking the Piss = Joking With
- Tele = Television
- Maca's = McDonald's
- Amber Light = Yellow Light
- Hoons = Street Racers
- Punch Up = Fight
- Footie = Any Sport in Australia (For the most part)
- Bottle Shop = Liquor Store
- Lift = Elevator
Thats all I have for you at the moment, but I will work on making another list! Today was another very interesting day on our tour of Australian sport. We began our morning with a tour of the MCG (Melbourne Cricket Grounds).
This stadium is used for cricket six months out of the year and the other six months it is used for Australian rules football. This stadium holds nearly 100,000 people at full capacity and has done so on many occasions. Another amazing part of the MCG is it is home to the National Sports Museum which contains all of the memorabilia of all Australian sports as well as from every olympic games. This museum had a display case which held almost all of the torches used for the Olympics up through this past olympics. After our tour of the MCG and the National Sports Museum we went to lunch at a facility inside Ethiad Stadium where I had the Chicken Parma, which is like chicken parmesan but it has an added layer of ham and then a layer of cheese on top of the chicken. It was very delicious, but I ate way too much and was put into a food coma after lunch. After a quick little nap I went with Chelsey for another run through the other side of Melbourne and then came back and got dressed for our group dinner. We went to an Italian Restaurant which was very delicious and then began a pub crawl to about three different pubs and ended at the casino. The first bar we stopped at Chelsey and I tried a shot called a squashed frog. It was very good and made with Melon Liquor and Baileys with Raspberry Cordial.
Then after the other two bars some of us made it to the casino.
No worries i didn't spend any of MY money, but I met this bloke (guy) who gave me a $25 chip at a Roulette table and the first round i won over $200. BUT then i kept playing and lost it all.
