Manly Beach

Sunday, January 18: Amazing dim sum lunch (and stalked by a chinese dragon) then up to Manly Beach for a day of volleyball. Or beach. Water is pretty warm! Manly is THE volleyball place to go. Note to self. "I'll be back"

Learned about the merits of "Goon" from a local and a bit of other Aussie slang. Yes, Goon is Box Wine, after you removed the box. Just carry the bag. "Goon Sack". Then when you have finished, you blow it up with air and use it as a pillow where ever you inevitably end up crashing...

"Fair dingum" = you know it / true dat / yup i agree

Finished in Waloomooloo for B-Boy-T's birthday. Re-met some familiar faces. Starting to feel like I have a life and friends here. Early night to bed...
