saturday was the day we were really put in the culture of australia. we went to an aussie football game. this is pretty special cause this is a game that is played only in australia-hence the name, it's very very similar to rugby, so we were able to follow it pretty closely.
this game was at the melbourne cricket ground. this is also another olympic stadium. this is also the stadium that has the olympic museum in it. so we got to the game super early and went into the museum for a good hour or so. we weren't allowed to take pictures in the museum, but we got pictures of the ground and around the museum. it was so fun to see all the different sports and they had a really cool display of the whole history of the olympics. they also had amazing sections on all the different sports in australia. including aussie rules, rugby, net ball (women's basketball) and horse racing. it was so cool to see all the different sports that are played in australia and what the rules are and how they affected australian culture and people.
after that we went to the game and we had fun seeing a different stadium and seeing how spirited the different fans are.
we also sat next to some kiwis (new zealand people) and it was so cool to talk to them about new zealand and a little bit of australia.
thus ends our trip to melbourne and now we are back at school for the short but long drive to the end of the year.
i hope you are all doing well and i miss you all! thanks for reading
