Fair Enough

[Before I explain the above-mentioned term, I wish to share a bit more of the Aussie lingo with you. In Australia, they don't say "university," they say, "uni." Ex: "I attend Melbourne Uni."]

"Fair Enough": a general response of agreement. It basically means, "that's true," or "you're right, I agree," and is used quite often.

Random Australian girl: "So what's your major?"
Me: "Psychology, but I'm not taking any psych. subjects here."
Girl: "Why's that?"
Me: "Well, I'm taking Australian cultural classes instead because I figured that I won't be able to take them anywhere else in the States."
Girl: "Fair enough."
Me: "...yeah."

Today (meaning Saturday, despite what the date on my blog says) was spent with my Melbourne University Overseas Student Services club. We played Laser War (basically Laser Tag) for about half a hour, and then toured around the city and bought some really expensive cake to eat ($9.50 a slice!) Afterwards, I went home to buy some salmon and then headed back out to the city to meet up with some friends. This week is a series of festivals called the Moomba Water Festival. I believe there's demonstrations of a couple of water sports on Yarra River during the day, but I wasn't intrigued enough to attend. I did go to the night carnival and watch the fireworks though. While I was wandering around, I suddenly realized that one of the things I miss about the U.S. are funnel cakes. It's kind of weird, actually, because I never even really bought my own funnel cake before. I always just mooched off my friends.

Tomorrow morning I'm off to the Melbourne Zoo, which is very exciting because I love zoos (yes, dorky side coming out). Afterwards, I'm supposed to head to an Aussie friend's house to preparty and then leave for this gay bar, where his friend is supposed to be singing. I've never been to a gay bar before, so this definitely will be a new experience.
