week 9

This week we made our transition from the beautiful tropical vacation world of Cairns Australia to the fast paced blazing hot city of Singapore for a 1 and a half month internship experience.  It’s sad to be leaving Australia, especially as those last few weeks were so great.  Cairns was an amazing experience and it was great to experience the best of what Australia has to offer.  The great barrier reef is incredible and Fitzroy island was one of the most beautiful places i have ever been, and skydiving was incredible.  Believe it or not, jumping out of a plane […]

week 8

This week was our last official week of classes for the semester.  It was great to finally wrap up classes and be proud of what I had accomplished in such a short amount of time.  4 classes in 8 weeks is no easy feat, especially when professors are trying to cram an entire class into half the amount of time they would normally have to teach it.  While the workload was intense, I think it all went quite well, and I am glad my gpa transfers back to bucknell, unlike so many other programs. This weekend kicked off our spring […]

week 7

Week 7 was incredible.  My dad came to town, and while I may have not done touristy things when i was here by myself, he made sure we did all of the touristy things sydney had to offer which were all incredible experiences.  My highlights this week we’re the bridge walk and the Australian National Maritime Museum.   To begin, bridge walk does not just refer to crossing theSydney harbor bridge.  It refers to walking on the bridge structure, on top of the arch which is offered to anyone under the age of 70, as it is a particularly rigorous climb.  […]

Week 6

Week six is over and done and what a week it was. The highlight of the week was undoubtedly our wine tour.  We took a weekend excursion to Hunter Valley where we visited three vineyards and tried a variety of wines from all 3.  Broken Wood, Margan, Ernest Hill were all amazing and I ended up buying wine from all three.  Broken Wood was a modern vineyard with modern amenities and feel.  I most enjoyed the Shiraz blend we had at Broken Wood, and the Steak Tartare appetizer I had after we were done.  Next we went to Ernest Hill […]

week 5

Week 5 was the start of new classes and another great week, minus some canceled flights.  Overall I had a great time and am excited for the next one. This past weekend we were supposed to go to Tasmania which would have been great to do.  Unfortunately due to some suboptimal weather they canceled our flight.  This was super disappointing as we were very excited to go and see a new Australian environment, though apparently it rained hard the days we were supposed to be there, so maybe we dodged a bullet.  In place of this we took a tour […]

week 4

Week 4 was great.  This week we went to Melbourne for a weekend trip.  Seeing a new city in the same country was a cool experience as they are very different.  Melbourne is a city which is difficult to fully experience in just two days, but we did our best.   We began with a walking tour of the city, and got to see the historic buildings and parks which define its past such as the original city jail and the royal exhibition centre.  The royal exhibition center is probably the most beautiful building I have seen in my time in […]
