I really like chocolate. Especially dark chocolate! But, I did not realize that all of my friends realized exactly how much I love chocolate. As it turns out, they know me pretty well.
For my birthday, 5 of my friends chipped in and bought me a dark chocolate bar. . .AND IT IS THE SIZE OF MY HEAD!!! 400g of delicious, smooth, tasty dark chocolate. I think that I will be set for the rest of my time in Australia, haha. And if that was not enough dark chocolate, another one of my friends bought me a dark chocolate bar as well!
I was not expecting them to do anything for my birthday, but my friends were so great! They decorated the inside and outside of my dorm, bought me a triple-chocolate cake (again-totally perfect!), and created a SCAVENGER HUNT through Manly for that night.
The photo/video scavenger hunt was a blast! We were divided into three teams and then hit the road. (I might have gotten a little too competitive and was making my team power walk down the huge hill, hoping that we could fulfill all 21 items in the 2 hour time allotment. AND WE TOTALLY FINISHED EVERTHING ON THE LIST!
Some of my favorite scavenger hunt items were:
*Getting 21 strangers to hold a sign that said HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY LAUREN
*Finding strangers with a tattoo (asking people if they had a tattoo can be a little awkward by the way- but you get hilarious responses).
*Finding someone with a lot of facial piercings. This was entertaining.
*Enacting a choice of two scenes. The last supper, and Australian aboriginals. My group enacted the Last Supper with McDonalds (“Maca’s” here) and I was Jesus with an ice cream cone!*Dancing on the corso with a guy playing the flute in the background
*Trying to take a picture of someone with an ID from Italy, France, or Germany. Most people surprisingly did not want us to take a picture of their ID, haha. . .(I don’t think I would let strangers take a picture of my ID either J)
Such a perfect 21st birthday in Australia!
