My first day

It was a very long journey from Vienna to Sydney. On Thursday 7 pm I flew from Vienna to London Heathrow with British Airways. Then 9 pm from London to Bangkok with Qantas and then to Sydney. I arrived at 7 pm on Saturday (Vienna: Friday, 9 pm). I was picked up by a driver who was very friendly and showed me the opera house and the harbour bridge. My hostfamily is really nice, but sometimes I just don't understand them. And I think that it is very embarrasing to say "Pardon? I didn't understand what you were saying?" like a hundred times. I just have to get used to it. Today we went to a café for breakfast because a friend of Simone (my hostmother) had her 30th birthday. It was a lot of fun and I met two girls from germany. After breakfast we went to Simone's mother who has a Spa (similar to a big whirlpool) in her garden. The sun is burning down but it can get really cold because of the wind which comes from the sea. Now some things I found out about Australia:

• People drive on the left side and their cars have the steerings on the right
• Shops are open on Sundays
• Supermarkets close during the week at 10 pm

...
Now I go to get some sleep
