Hi!
Happy Monday! Hope you've had a good and productive start to the week. But Mondays aside, I'd like to go back a few days and tell you about my weekend...
Friday 17/08/2018
Friday counts as a part of the weekend right? Anyhow, I'm including it, because I had a really fun evening with my host-mum Linda and host-sister Alisa. We took the tram to Helensvale, where there's this sort of hipstery-market-area (that's how I would describe it anyway), called the NightQuarter. It's basically lots and lots of good food and sweets, games, little shops with handcrafted goods etc.
The food was super good, definitely worth mentioning were the sweet potato fries, a raspberry and peach soda and a rocky road I had there. And an added bonus was also the fact that the whole place was extremely picturesque. You can see some of my favourite photos from that night here. It might have even become one of my favourite places here so far. All the good vibes and cute shops and stands, plus obviously the delicious food, yum!

On Saturday morning we went to Currumbin beach for our fourth surfing lesson. Unfortunately the waves weren't too good, but I still managed to catch a couple good ones. We stayed at the beach for a while (I took some pictures), before heading off to Southport, where we would pick up an exciting package for Sunday!
Sunday 19/08/2018
This is where the exciting package comes along... it's Colour Run day! A bunch of international students had bought tickets for 'the happiest 5K on the planet' and we all went there together. The venue was at Broadwater parklands, where we got coloured powder thrown all over us haha. I really enjoyed the experience, since I've never done a colour run before, and definitely will be doing it again! Also thanks to all the amazing people there!
Here's a little compilation of the run and afterparty!

Afterwards we walked to Domino's and had a mini pizza party. When all the pizza was demolished, we made our way to Broad beach where we just chilled and had a spontaneous ice cream as a cute ice cream van showed up.
All in all it was a super fun and eventful weekend!
How was yours?

Thank you, and yes we did, although everyone was just mostly walking, but it was fun nevertheless :) (for example the bubble footage is from the course)
The Color Run seemed to be a lot of fun! Cool video - did you also run?
