Sneans...?

Sneans!!!

We are in Australia!!!! We left the US on Monday, skipped Tuesday altogether, got to Brisbane on Wednesday hung out and went to the shops and slept for 12 straight hours, went to orientation at the University of Queensland on Today. At orientation we learned several things about the culture to prepare us for the weeks ahead. A staff girl taught us the basics…no spitting, drop bears, and sneans! Drop bears are bears that WILL attack you from the tree tops so watch out for them…and their poo. Sneas are characteristic of Americans…people who wear sneakers with jeans. They think that is kind of gross lol. A third of our team was fitting this on orientation day haha. We stayed with the Brisbane team in their apartments for a few days and will return there just before we leave for home. We will drive to Armidale to the University of New England tomorrow morning!
