What I learned on my trip to Adelaide by Andy Sweany

Hi boys and girls,
I took a trip to Adelaide (in the state of South Australia) for a computer conference last Wed. to Friday and stayed in the nearby beach town of Glenelg Friday and Saturday night. Here are a few things I learned:



1. Don't believe everything that you hear - Adelaide is a fun city with a happening night life (anyplace does if you try hard enough)

2. Australians cannot understand me when I order a water but they can always understand me when I order a beer

3. When you stay at a hostel with a big beer company's logo on the sign, it will sound like Mardi Gras outside when you try to go to sleep at 10pm on a Friday night

4. I am too old to stay at a hostel, even when I have a private room

5. Wildlife never ceases to amaze me, and seeing dolphins swim underwater is incredible

6. Beer will always help you make friends with total strangers (see first and last pictures)

7. No matter how much sunscreen I wear here, I will undoubtedly get sunburned (also see last picture)


Cheers mates,
Sweany
