It's been two days in Australia, and I'm in love.
Despite arriving Sunday afternoon in Gold Coast, I walked the beach at Surfers Paradise, "pass the piss," shopped at an incredible shopping mall, chilled at a night club until 4 a.m. and gambled at the Jupiter Casino.
Then on Monday afternoon, I attended a lecture at Bond University -- which may be the most gorgeous place in the world, and I'm not just talking about the architecture.
I know; I'm pinching myself to see if this is a dream, too.

The reason for the seemingly effortless transition is the Australian community. They have been warmer than the summer weather back home to ease this study abroad opportunity.
Plus, anything sounds sexy, comforting, amazing, sexy and sexy in an Australian accent.
Adjusting to the time change, unpacking, learning the bus routes and navigating a campus about six-times bigger than Bonaventure will be a struggle, but when your campus looks like this...
...how can you complain about being in paradise?
The welcoming to Bond has been better than imagined. Here's to hoping the next two-and-a-half months will be just like the last 36 hours.
I'll keep updating this journey here and on my Twitter and tumblr accounts.
Cheers, mate!
