A Canadian's first few days in Canberra.

WELL HELLO FROM AUSTRALIA. I have successfully landed after my epic 15 hour flight. I waited in the plane for them to spray down the plane with pesticide as to kill any viruses us gross Canadians were planning on bringing into their country! and then I cleared customs, got my bags from the baggage claim, and went to the car rentals counters... too bad all the cars were sold out though.. even though there were like 8 different counters.. SO we went out and caught a 3 hour bus to Canberra form Sydney. So my travel was insane. I left my house in Niagara to drive to Pearson International at like noon. then took off at 4... flew 5 hours to BC... waited 5 hours IN BC, then flew 15 hours to canberra, spent about an hour and a half at the aeroport, then caught a 3 hours bus to canberra and drove like 15 mins to Jer's house. E-P-I-C.   I went to bed at like 6:00 at night haha. and slept till 1130.. intense. The first thing I did when I got in was shower... then I went to get changed, I opened my suitcase only to discover it was the wrong one.. luckily I packed three suitcases..  we called the areoport and luckily got it all sorted out.. lucky for me, unlucky for "Donna Mah" of alberta.. lol. Oh well, her clothes were terrible anyways.. maybe she bought some new instyle ones... ha. ANYways, my bag was delivered today so thats sweet. Then this morning as I stood brushing my teeth I glanced over at my towel and noticed a black spider on it.. I got closer to see that the spider had a white tail.  the Whitetail spider is one of the most deadly spiders EVER. I COULD HAVE DIED. I am going to live in FEAR for the nest six months. my first morning there is a deadly spider just CHILLING on my towel. SWEET. holy crap I'm terrified just thinking about it. please google whitetail spiders... akfheaughekuauavaehguirhfhrgseeeek. ok new subject please. ANYWAYS. after my shower I shook out my towel.. *shudder..* ok THEN we went out to the national museum. By we I mean Jeremy, My cousin Ross and Uncle Roger (who accompanied me on my journey and are staying in Aus for like a week or so), Jeremy's cousin Loric and myself. The museum was SO sick. the architecture was among the coolest I have ever seen, very symbolic The name of the architect is escaping me right now, but i'm sure that after you google whitetail spiders, you can google Australian National Museum and look at it and figure out the architect. It was pretty unreal. From there we went to a trendy little cafe called Babar and I had an interesting chicken carbonara.  Then we explored the mall and went to Mount Ainslie and got an unreal view of the city.  So Currently I am back at Jeremy's and I might head out to an 'authentic' Aussie barbeque!  and before I go I shall tell you all my Australian Mobile, it is +61433790139, make sure you include the plus though, cause it's an international phone.. I sent about 4 texts before I realized that.. ha. ANYways have a good day guys!
