Cairns Central $$

This has been a pretty quick week, had alittle more work than the last and it will probably continue to increase in amount as the weeks go on, but im trying to stay on top of it all amidst this aussie way of life. Today, i spent the whole day walking around cairns central which is the shopping mall for cairns with a friend from church. She showed me where all the good shops are and took me to the ones that were here favorites, so it was interesting to see the types of clothes that she liked and what the general aussie style is. They have a target in the mall but its quite different than ours back home. Its alot more expensive and they only sell clothing and accessories and most of the clothing is dressy or atleast leaning toward that side of the scale. I ended up getting a cute dress from there so i deemed that as my "going out" dress. Also she took me to this other cool store called "ally's" and i got my first pair of australian jeans. Though they are really no different than the jeans back home...its the mere fact that i bought them in australia that will forever label them australian! I'm on the hunt for my "australian shoes" as i shall have to keep up the tradition from getting my "italian shoes".
Its funny because since they are just exiting their "winter" all the clothes are mostly longsleeve so part of me wants to go ahead and buy stuff for the winter time when i go back home, but another part tells me that rediculous because its 80 here and only going to get hotter so there is absolutely no need for longsleeves...Anyways, the quest goes on.
We also went to see GI JOE and it was surprisingly really good...i pretty much love everything that dennis quaid and channing tatum are in, and they are both in this movie so i think that played a large part. The good thing was that it has a little bit of comedy, lots of action and an actual plot so i would deff. recommend going to see it at some point. Oh and i was really surprised because i think there were less than 5 bad words throughout the entire movie which is rare to find in movies these days...
Tomorrow we are going water skiing on the crater lakes in the Tablelands, so i am really looking forward to a whole day out on the water with all my aussie friends.
Post about that soon! with pictures to come! Cheers!
