New Experiences

So in the breif time since my last blog some interesting things have happened.
First, yesterday we had a massive dust storm. It is a very rare occurrence, and most of eastern Australia was covered in dust clouds that almost blocked the sun. You could stare directly at the sun without hurt to your eyes.  It was surreal.  Even inside you could see the haze from the dust.  Today it has mostly cleared up, but there is a thin layer of fine dust on everything.  Really cool to be apart of.
The second new Australian experience, that I took part in yesterday, was eating kangaroo for the first time. Our speaker this week is Kevin Miller, the writer of "Expelled" with Ben Stein, and he wanted to try some.  So we went into the city and had a Roo-becue.  It was surprisingly good, I had been told that Kangaroo wasn't as good as beef, but this was very flavorful and tender.
So those are my new experiences. Cool.
