We had a wonderful day today. We got to school an hour earlier than usual this morning because we had lab time to sent email to surf the internet. We have the lab time once a week.

We went to Innovation Centre to listen to a talk. We had Lewis to introduce aboriginal culture. He told us about the 2 aboriginal flags. He sang us 5 songs. Then he taught us some aboriginal greetings. “Madda Mollie” means “hello”, “Inunballa” means “how are you?” and “ay which way” means “what are you doing?

Lewis showed us the didgeridoo and explained the origin of it. He also played a song using both guitar and the didgeridoo. That's fascinating! Lewis also introduced weapons and tools used by the aborigines for hunting and digging. Finally, everybody got a chance to throw a boomerang. That's really fun. This is the first time for me to throw a boomerang. It felt good. But it wasn't an easy job. A lot of us couldn't make it change direction in the first throw.

After lunch, we had our English lesson right away. We had some worksheets to do, and also had some activities.

We went to play bowling after school. We divided ourselves into groups of 5 or 6. We played for an hour and a half. Bowling was very hard too. The bowling was very heavy and we couldn't keep it under our control at all.

We went back to the university and were picked up by our homestay parents.
