SIOS Goes Down... Under


Recommended Posts

I figured I'd pull a PhillyB and update my trip as it comes along.

 

I flew in yesterday (long ass flight), and I'm living in a house with 30 other students from the US, UK, Australia, France, Brazil, Asia, etc. The house is within 5 minutes walking distance to everything in these pictures.

It's not nearly as exotic (yet) as PhillyB's getaways, but I'll be traveling throughout Australia, SE Asia, and New Zealand for the rest of 2014 during my exchange program. I'm about to make the ~3 mile walk along the coast from Coogee Beach to Bondi Beach and back, so maybe I'll have some cool pictures to upload afterwards.

 

And just a sidenote: As dumb as this might sound, this area (Sydney's eastern suburbs) reminds me a ton of the coastal areas I've been to in Central America. The roads, the marketplaces, the scenery, the crystal clear water, even a lot of the houses. It's weird how the two places are worlds apart and different in so many ways, yet the only way to tell the difference would be the cars and the people. Oh, and everything except boxed wine and Dominos is super expensive.

Nice stuff man.  That part of the world is a great place.  

 

I went to Rotarua (NZ), Auckland (NZ), Brisbane, Frazier Island and Sydney on a big 30 day trip one time.  It was sweet.  

 

Definitely soak in the aussie rules football.

I'm so excited about Aussie rules. I only got here for the tail end of the season, but I've been learning a lot about the game and it seems amazing.

Any suggestions about where to go or some must-see places?

I was there in 2006 so it's hard to remember specifics but definitely go luging and bungie jumping if you get a chance.

    • The difference is about how much player input is allowed and encouraged in the decision making process. Top down teams tend to dictate to players how everything is handled. Disagreements are handled by the coach and players are expected to do what they are told regardless of what they think or feel.  Players are perceived as commodities to be used until we find better. In player led teams player input is encouraged and valued. Players and especially leaders are expected to settle their own disagreements and be accountable to the team but mostly to each other. Players are family to be appreciated and supported in their growth. Is the reality of football the same in both? Yeah there are limited positions, football is a business and winning is the bottom line. Coaches get final say and run the program because that is their job. But in player led teams they feel valued, appreciated, part of a larger whole. Most people who have worked at multiple jobs know exactly what I am talking about. When players try to run the show and don't value  coach input that isn't a player led team, that is a circus which we surely are familiar with in our past.  
    • For our pics and trades tonight and tmrw.  Remember, Aho was a 2nd rounder and Slavin was a 4th rounder. 
    • Seems to be the consensus from the talking heads. I really wish we had double dipped at center in the 2nd round. Sion will never play in the league.
