The past few days have been incredibly busy. This is my third day staying at my cousin Albert's house with his wife and three boys in Melbourne, Australia. It's wintertime and freezing compared to Malaysia; I've gone from 38 degree weather straight down to 14 degrees. It's beautiful here! It’s exactly like Vancouver except with better weather, tons more surfing, a lot of hipster/London style clothing, and awesome Aussie accents. Yesterday, Albert took my family and me on a roadtrip along Great Ocean Road. If you have to chance, look it up on Google Earth... It is the most gorgeous thing I've seen on my trip so far. We drove along the eastcoast of Australia along the cliffs and watched the turquoise waves curl gracefully as surfers in wetsuits paddled out further into the ocean. We got to see the Twelve Apostles scenic view and the Loch and Gorge. I was in awe. The drive was over 7 hours in total from where we were staying but it was worth the wait.
Today, we went to the Victoria market in downtown Melbourne with my cousin Albert. His son Louis is probably the cutest thing ever. He’s 6 years old and has gotten acquainted with my sister and me. He is so imaginative and observant. We were window shopping as well and I loved the majority of the clothing they had on display. Tomorrow we’re staying in a hostel near Sydney. I don’t know how my parents will handle things.
I am in love. I am deeply in love! I'm going to move here next year. My parents and Ashley surprisingly are encouraging me to study here next year. If my grades and application are good enough this year at SFU, I'll hopefully be able to study at the Monash University in Melbourne. No matter what, I know that I'll be back here.
Love,
Elle.xoxo
