Today is the last day in Adelaide. In the morning, we walked around Tea Tree Gully. We have seen many old houses there. They are beautiful and also they had kept originally. When we we're going to a garden. There are many blossom trees. If you get there, you definitely will feel like you have gone to Japan. In the garden, you can see many plants, such as, fruits, vegetables and herbs. And I bought tomato, cucumber, lettus seeds. I hope I can take care of them well after I go back to Hong Kong. In the afternoon, we had a farewell party. we sang live while we are young to the principle of the BPIHS, the buddies and our host family. And I met Anothy in the party. Anthony came to Hong Kong in 2013 via exchange program. He went to the University of Adelaide this year. I am glad to see him again in Adelaide. Then, my host family took me to the supermarket to buy what I want. After that, we went back home and they gave some pressies to me. They gave me face wash, gorgeous calendar, koala bag and nutella. These pressies are fall of love. I 'm so touching about that. It ' s make me do not want to leave badly. Before dinner, James and I played Xbox. And the game is called infection. It's really good game but I am not good at playing games. Therefore, I 'm always killed by other players. In these past two weeks, I was taking care from the host family. The trip become more interesting and amazing because of them. I love this warm, happiness host family. I hope I can come back again so that I can meet them again.
Today we went to George Wildlife Park. First we gonna do is holding Koala. The koala is so cute. It was eating when I was holding it. But I like holding Tiny ( host family's cat ) more than holding koala. After that we bought some biscuits to feed the kangarooes. When we we're going to feed the kangarooes, we saw many animals in the zoo. For examples, birds, chooks, monkeys. Some birds are really annoying. While we were kkfeeding the kangarooes, some birds came and stole the food. I don't like the birds. I hate them. Also, when I was feeding a kangaroo, other kangarooes came to eat the biscuit. Eventually, we were surrounded by the kangarooes. It was fun.
Yesterday was host mother's birthday. And I made birthday cake for her yesterday. I just made the sponge cake and whipped cream. Today I went to Alana's flute lesson with host mother. Then, we went to chemist looking for papaw cream and Australian cream. After that, we went back home to have some lunch. I got noodles with a roll. Then, we went to a candle party. A candle party is totally different from normal party. People will buy candles from the party. And there was a huge range of candles. The one that impressed me the most was tbe candle which you light and then it melts into oil, which is used for hand cream and it has a really good smell that came with it. Then, we went back home again. And I decorated the birthday cake with Alana. We had pizza for dinner. Yum!!
Today is a sunny day. We were going to the beaches called Semaphore and Glenelg. They are so beautiful. The beaches here is totally different from Hong Kong. Beaches in Hong Kong are so small and have dirty water. But here, the beaches are so huge and the water are so clear. You can see the button of the sea via the water. There are also some facilities that you can play near the beaches. We had a late lunch today. We bought some fish and chips, chicken negguts for lunch. And we had lunch in the park near the street. Then, we bought some ice-cream. I bought salted caramel and mint with chocolate chips ice cream with a cone. Yum!!! The whole journey took us 7 hours. But still less than spending time in school. Since I spend 8 hours everyday ( without Saturday and Sunday ) in school in Hong Kong.
Today we were going to the city!!!!! In the morning, we went to the museum to look the things that the aboriginal people used and the animals. We spent there for about 45 minutes. And we went to the China town and the Central market. We only had 45 minute to shop there. Therefore, Ling and I mainly buy nuts in Charlesworth nuts and I buy the liquid lolli for Alana. I also saw Hello Kitty cafe there. After that, we went to Roundle Mall. Ling bought Pandora there. She bought the bracelet for Au$400. And she was really exciting, happy about that. Since it is cheaper than buy it in HK. She also bought some hand cream and moisture in Jurlique. And I bought some fizzy pop and plenty of pocky to my host family. Today is a good day.

Therefore, I cooked white-cut chooke, indo mie and mash with bacon. I am glad that they said the food were good. And I finished making the dinner at around 5:30.

We have lessons all the day.Our teacher today is Ms Margy. Today, we will learn about Australian Aboriginal Culture. We learn about the weapons that the aboriginal people use. We learn the aboriginal people's music. It was amazing!! We also had a drama lesson in the morning. The drama is more fun. At the beginning, we played some games. After that, we played a scene about accident. During lunch time, we went to a table tennis room. And we had lunch there with our buddies.
This morning, we travelled bus to go to Victor Harbour. It takes half and two hours to get there. After we arrived there, we walk along a bridge to visit the Kaiki (Granite Island) The views there are so nice but there is so cold. We also saw some penguins there. Then, we took a walk on the island for about 15 minutes. When,we we're strolling we saw a horse pulling a train to take passagers cross between Victor Harbour and the Granite Island. The horse is so cute!!
After visiting Victor Harbour, we went back to the bus. And travelling to a place to have picnic lunch. There were a lot of birds. We were surround by the birds when we were having lunch. After that, we went to visit a paddle steamer boat, called Oscar W. It is a small ship, but you can got what you want there. Then, we went to the souvenir shop next to the boat. My schoolmates bought some postcards, ships models there.
