Culture time! ;)

Today we got on yet another flight and headed to Cairns! It has been a great trip so far. We got on a (to us is a short 3 hour flight) compared to what flight we have coming in the next couple of days.

Today we took a step back and learned about the Australia Aborigines culture. We landed in Cairns and headed to the Tjapukai Cultural Center to sharpen up on our culture! We started out with a short video explaining their spiritual faiths and what they believe. Some of us listened to it in English...others listening in Chinese and didn't know it until the program was close to being over. This individual just thought that the program was very interpretive! haha It was a very different kind of a belief, but it was interesting to see how they believe the world first began. We then got to see the different cultural dances. This was pretty interesting. We were often hoping that his leather skirt or whatever that was wouldn't be too revealing with him jumping around like that! :/ The next part was the coolest part yet! We got to learn how to throw a boomerang and the spear! Some were very good at it, but most of us...well we stunk at it! :) We rounded out the experience by learning about how they made their weapons and a short digerdo performance!

We then went back to the hotel to freshen up for dinner. This is Hailey Clemons birthday so we headed to this "great" sea food restaurant! It was awful! I thought it would be safe to get the fried shrimp right?? Nooooooo! My shrimp still had EYES! Here is a few pictures to prove how my dinner went! And to answer your question...yes it did come back up later! Until next time, good day mate! :)
