*day six*
the circus training over, i've now made my way to sydney to visit my relatives. let me just say that the world of circus training is very very surreal. i wasn't even really circus training, but just being in the same environment as people who aspire to be professional aerial artists, or baton twirlers (yes people still do that, except nowadays it's much cooler with fire and nifty twisty bodies) is kinda wild. people actually DO circus for a living.... woah.
anyway, NICA (the australian national institute of circus arts) were our hosts for this week, and at the end of the training, they took us ratty bunch of social workers out to dinner at a posh restaurant at the newly built federation square in downtown melbourne. this incredible theatre and museum complex has futuristic, industrial, glass mosaic-style architecture. anyway, i felt like someone important having dinner here and NOT having to pay.... hahaha.
so here i am now in a cozy little suburb of sydney called eastwood, which is apparent next to the hills suburb where hillsong church is. but I CAN'T GO because my aunt and uncle whom i'm staying with go to an anglican church nearby where she plays the organ, and i think it would be a bit of an insult if i say i'm going to another church... pooh. i come all the way to australia and i can't go to hillsong. oh well. i don't mind really, becuase i have bigger things on my agenda tomorrow. namely: going to see koala bears!! oooh wait til i get my hands on those little furballs...!!!
hey, is ANYONE reading this???? derek??????
