Um earthquake....?!!!!
Katie and I were finalizing travel plans and shopping for make up when the house started to shake. It went on for 10-15seconds and was apparently part of a 4.4 magnitude earthquare with the epicenter in Korumburra. Korumburra is one of the towns I biked through when I took the trip to Wilson's Promontory. There was also a corresponding earthquake in New Zealand there was no injury or damage in either.
In happier news I went to the doctor today and my arm is healing nicely. I am packed and really excited to be heading back to the United States tomorrow. When my friends finished exams around 4. We went to the pub for a beer(for them). Then we headed into the city for some shopping and dinner. We looked and tried but didn't buy anything. For dinner we went to a Chinese dumpling house. It was really good and actually soy free. They have a fantastic solution: touch screen ordering. That's right no fighting over who has to order you order without having to speak. We had vegetarian dumplings, beef, and pumpkin dumplings. Then since we were in little china we went out for dessert too. We had tapioca pearls with green tea ice cream and mango. Luckily, we were with my friend Angela who's family is from Hong Kong so she showed us all the best places and made sure I didn't eat anything that would bother my allergies. Everything was absolutely delicious! Last chance if you'd like to request items from Australia. I leave Melbourne in just over 12 hours
