Found a place called Five O's, they have 5 dollar meals so I can finally eat cheap.

The whole study abroad department had orientation today. There are like 500 students, most American. They started off the whole day with aborigines cultural dancing and music. Australia is really proud and sorry for taking over their natives land. It got me thinking, America would never start off an orientation with Native American music and dancing.

You know, I'm not sure how sorry they are. A lot of people look down on aborigines, or don't really understand them. For most Australians the only contact they have with aborigines are the ones in the cities that are alcoholics or drug addicts that have been kicked out of their tribes. Just like with US Indians, they are still marginalized. But it makes great tourist attractions.--- at least that has been my experience.
