On the way there, a few friends were asked to get off the train for the possession of alcohol. So naturally, our whole group got off the train to see them receive a "friendly" warning to not bring alcohol on the trains. We caught the next train to Town Hall, where we walked a few blocks to Stratton Hotel. The group of us sang along to the music and downed a few drinks, before setting off toward the parade.
Along the way, amongst all the colorfully and/ or scantily dressed mobs of people, I accidentally stepped on my friend's shoe, breaking it. She walked around the rest of the night with one shoe on, one shoe off. Thankfully, she didn't step on any glass! The crowd of people around Oxford Street was insane! Rainbows everywhere! The only way I could catch a glimpse of the parade was to sit on top of one of my guy friend's shoulders. The floats weren't your typical floats: Half naked men in speedos or chains and whips danced on top of trucks. Needless to say, it was interesting. The sights definitely packed the house.
After I saw about fifteen minutes of the parade, we met up with our lost friends at The Gaff. The Gaff is a multi-level club, with tons of room for dancing. So naturally, we danced the night away, until our feet gave out. Exhausted, we caught the last train back to Mac Uni.
Sunday is generally my designated homework day, just like back home. But to mix it up a little, my friend Lei from China, prepared an authentic Chinese meal for a few of us. I arrived at her apartment early, which might have been a mistake. For those of you who know me, I am not a patient person when it come to eating...I watched her prepare food for almost two hours, and I was almost dying from the anticipation. Trust me, it was well worth the weight ;) Afterward, I laid on the floor (Lei told me that the position I was laying in was the symbol in Chinese for big haha)
Until next time, G'day!
