Why I am in Sydney

I’m attending the kangaroo’s little brother’s wedding this weekend so we are hanging out here for 10 days. We have a string of family gatherings and meetups with friends.

Last night was the meet-the-in-laws bbq at Epping, where his brother and fiancé live. It’s a very suburban area and looks like Perth — wide open spaces with big residential houses stretched out along a seemingly endless road…

We had fun seeing some of the family while tucking into some good ol’ Aussie barbecued steak and chicken.



Today at lunch with the colleagues I learned these Aussisms: “cracking the shits” and “farting sparks” — they both mean to be very angry. Hilarious.

Anyway, this could be my last post till Monday because I won’t have Internet access. Have a good weekend, everyone!
