Start of Four Day Weekends

Last night, a couple girls from res and myself went to the local student pub night. It is strange to be walking distance to everything or be forced to take public transit which then deems it to be too far. We left res at 7:15 and got there at 7:25 pm to secure a spot inside. The pub was at capacity of 500 by 8:08 pm. It was February 29 so the bar was decorated in green (think leap year - leap frog - green).

The night life here is completely different from home. Men cannot wear shorts or singlets - they must be wearing dress shoes and a button down. On the other hand, women can get dress how they want as long as they are not wearing pants or flip flops. Shorts are short here - more girls dress like they should be on corners than covering up.

This morning, I got up and dove with the UWA Underwater Club (UWAUC) just off the coast of North Perth. Really nice divers on campus - none of us are morning people though. Stunning weather and views today. I saw a couple of wild dolphins and more jellyfish. I guess they are having an infiltration of jellyfish in WA this year. People just keep diving anyways - the deadly ones seem to come out at about 7:00 am or late at night. 

Thursday has become a beach day. Morning will consist of two dives via the UWAUC and then, once everyone is up from being out the night before, beach in the afternoon.

I must say it is a hard life here.
