My last post...

until I am in AUSTRALIA! My bags are (mostly) packed, my farewell dinner planned, my anxiety high. Because I don't know when I'll have internet next, I'll leave you with some facts about the city I will be living in for the next 5 months:
* Second most populous city in Australia
* Melbourne is the state capital of Victoria
* Melbourne was founded by free settlers in 1835

Famous Melburnians:
Eric Bana I am so excited for him as Henry VIII in The Other Boleyn GirlPhotobucket

Actress Cate Blanchett

Singer Kylie Minogue

Tennis player Mark Philippoussis I was definitely addicted to Age of Love last summer

TV actor Jesse Spencer from House, MD Photobucket

Lost's Emilie de Ravin (grew up just outside of Melbourne)

Take Home Chef Curtis Stone
