I’ve been in Perth for a whole month now. I’ve settled into my apartment and my classes. I’m slowly getting used to hearing squawking parrots everyday and seeing palm trees everywhere! ( Which I thought would never happen.)<\/p>\n

Here is a SMALL<\/em><\/strong> amount of awesome things you can do while studying in Perth in a month :<\/p>\n

SCHOOL WORK! Definitely the funnest thing to do here!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Meet cool animals at Caversham Wildlife park :<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Meet cool animals that were brought to your campus for you to meet :<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Meet cool animals that just hang out on your campus (bandicoot, not a rat) :<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Relax on one of the many beaches ( Cottlesoe beach and Leighton beach) :<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Go surfing on one of the many beaches :<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Watch the sunset on one of the many beaches (and turn around only to see crazy angry clouds staring right at you after having stared at a very peaceful sunset) :<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Go to Adventure World, and go on Australia’s best roller coaster and the world’s tallest, steepest and longest funnel waterslide :<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

And forget to put sunscreen on ( don’t try this at home kids, it’s a very serious issue, sunscreen is very important!) :<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Invest in sunscreen and aloe ( definitely a must do) :<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Go see Perth’s basketball team, the Wildcats, at the Perth Arena :<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Go to the Perth bell tower and ring the bells :<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On your way to the bell tower, see some cool statues and stuff around the harbor :<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Go to Kings park and see some cool views, day and night :<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Make yourself look like a fairy at one of the local street markets :<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Wander through London Court, a cute little medieval themed alley way :<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Go to the international food market on Friday nights :<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

See really cool graffiti all around the city :<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Get an acai bowel from Pixels cafe :<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Go to an international culture festival and see some really cool dancing :<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Give into your cravings and eat every kind of meat you could imagine eating in Australia in one sitting ( Kangaroo, crocodile, emu, buffalo, wild boar, camel.) :<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Of course, while studying abroad, the amount of fun you are having should be equal to the amount of studying you are doing! Which is why I am studying a lot… Get it done and you can go have fun!<\/p>\n

PS. Eating Australian food definitely counts as a culture lesson, going to the beach definitely counts as an exercise science lesson and hanging out with Australian animals definitely counts as a biology lesson, in case you needed help coming up with excuses for yourself…<\/p>\n
