It's currently lunch time here in Melbourne. The group just finished listening to a presentation from three guys from the Victoria Animal Health and Welfare Department. The major focus was on their methods of tracking animals from producers to feedlots to abattoirs. The beef industry seems to be more successful than the sheep industry, as the rate of acceptance is 99.5% in the eef division. We are now getting ready for a trip to the Carlton Brewery! As college kids, we are all VERY excited about free tastings of Australian beer.
Let me leave you with a few simple thoughts.
1. Enjoy the luxury of high-speed, relatively fast internet! We are experiencing Many problems with trying to connect to the internet, even with the data plans we have.
2. Don't take ice for granted! We have yet to get ice in our drinks, including the pitchers of water brought to our table last night.
3. American cities are disgusting!!! Melbourne, the second largest city in Australia, is very clean and the only smell I have experienced is cigarette smoke. Aussies love their smokes!
Much love,
~Kaycie
