Australia, land of strange fruits!

I had seen these in the grocery store and was appalled by their appearance but let me tell you, this is the most delicious fruit in the world! Friday evening we went to Sarah and Brian's to introduce them to Quelf. Yes, thanks to Tracee Quelf has been introduced to Australia with the same copious amounts of hilarity that it brought to Canada! They had one of these hideous looking fruits in their kitchen and Brian proclaimed that it was his very favourite. Sarah insisted on cutting it open and OH MY GOD...it tastes like dessert!! Anyway, if you ever have a chance to try one, I highly recommend it :)

Yesterday we went to a play called "He Died with a Felafel in his Hand" at the Brisbane Arts Theatre. It was highly entertaining (if extremely inappropriate) and rife with Australianisms! From there we made our way to "The Fox" to meet up with Sean and attend the May Ball after party. The May Ball was a med student event that we chose to forego as it would have cost about $250 and was basically just a dinner, dance and open bar. So...due to the open bar, the well dressed med students were in various stages of ridiculousness as they began arriving. Our friend Jen introuced me to one of her friends as "Jeremy's husband"...hehehe. It was at The Fox that we came to the conclusion that there are many med students we like separately or in small groups, but a few hundred intoxicated ones are a bit much!

Tomorrow is Labour Day! How weird is that?
