Perth Trip: Day 1

Recently embarked on a school trip to Perth, leaving at about midnight on 23rd November 2012. Woke up with a horrid crick in my neck from an awkward sleeping position. Alas, we had to go on a tour immediately, so.. No time for rest here! Luckily, the bus our group of about 20 was assigned to was pretty comfortable, and everyone fell asleep, I'd say. We visited Monument Hill, Caversham Wildlife Park, a Chocolate Factory, and the Parliament House. It was my first time (in my memory, at least) that I ever touched Koalas and Kangaroos. They were so friendly, and it was a little depressing to run out of pellets to feed them. It felt oddly like Kangaroos only had a few teeth, and their paws were really cute! It was also fun to act out a scene of how a law was passed, and it was a little weird how everyone had to repeat 'Mr. Speaker' over and over again.. And we didn't go on a tour of the Chocolate Factory (as opposed to our expectations) due to a lack of time.. We did taste many samples, though! It was overall very interesting, if a little bland. I look forward to the workshops and school exchange the next few days! Think I might be getting a little homesick, too.. Huh.
