Dog Races!!!

Finally... exams are over!!!!!!

On Saturday I slept for a bit longer than two hours and then went early to take my last final exam. Strength of Engineering Materials is a subject you should not take while you are an international student! Take note it can be useful! Hahaha. After the 3.5 hour exam I went to Paddy's Market to buy some souvenirs of Australia. Then I met with Asun and had lunch at a Thai restaurant.




Later on I went to Gumal and found Jake, Ben, Danni, Tom and Joe having some beers because they were also celebrating exams were over. I joined them and then we played a drinking game. It was to name the names of the countries with each letter of the alphabet. Actually we were going to play the same but with names of towns in Australia, but of course I was going to lose. Anyway, later I felt very tired and went to sleep for an hour.



After resting a bit we were ready to go to the dog races! They were held in Wentworth Park (just a couple of blocks from Gumal). We went walking with other people that joined us (mostly Australians). Some people took it very seriously and dressed up as "dog racers" (Ben and Jake). We had loads of fun in there.



Main events that happened last night:
- Jake was almost kicked out of the races
- Eating "beered" chips from the floor
- Some bet and won!
- Benny's Cool dog
- Ben and the flowers



Then we went back to Gumal and later on we moved to George Street. We lost Jake in the way because he was hiding from us haha. Then we went to Ace Bar and had some drinks while Tom was arguing about Yoshi. Jake came back and then we went walking towards Scruffy Murphy's. On the way there was a man on the street singing and asked to play a song. After singing with him and Ben giving all his coins we continued walking. Once in front of the pub, I headed back home.



I was feeling a bit hungry and went to KentuckyFC. It is funny to see Sydney at night... People were throwing their chips to the staff in the fast food place. There were straws all over the floor and people were arguing and having a fight! I realised I was in the middle of a circus show hahahahaha. Believe me, it was pretty fun! Then I walked home and went to bed. Tom and Ben came to my room later that night and woke me up jumping on my bed!!!! Though in the morning I had my revenge!
