Christmas Kangaroos! A Whole Swarm of Them!- Dec. 7, 2017

So for anyone visiting Australia, the best time to see kangaroos is between skype calls on Christmas day. haha. I'll include pictures (probably a wallaby). I got some more pictures of a group of them (a herd?), but they're a little bit further away and difficult to see. Kangaroos are super weird because the whole (flock?) will stop and stare at you for 15 minutes before deciding that humans are a threat. As if on cue, they all run away in a mass panic. 

Other wildlife: Elder Petchon (flatmate) is from the Philippines. Spider fighting is pretty big there, so he has been teaching me how to play with spiders without getting bit. I will include pictures (warning: the spiders are fairly large here).

Christmas was really fun. We got to visit lots of members and came away with quite a bit of candy and a few ties :)

Sim and I bought matching sunglasses for Christmas because our eyeballs are getting sunburned ;) haha that's Australia.

All the libraries are closed this week, so our whole zone is trying to use 6 computers. I should probably cut this one short ;) I'll try to send a longer email next week.
