It's Wednesday evening, the Manly police warden (aka chief of police) is coming to meet with all of the campus residents just about some general knowledge about safety in Manly. Don't get me wrong, Manly is VERY safe, but when you get 200 international students in a place they've never been, it's never a bad idea to share some knowledge about the good/bad places to be when the sun goes down.
Anyways, I'm sitting in my room waiting for that to start at 8:30, but mainly just waiting for the free pizza they promised us afterwards. My window has been open for about 3 days now, and I've been able to hear quite a few different kinds of birds. The birds here are nuts, they are loud, have interesting chirps, and fly around very fast by your head. I almost had a close call when a flock of white cockatoos swooped at John and I when we were walking up the hill from getting dropped off at the bus stop. Here's a video I just recorded of the birds, I thought I'd share. It's short, and not much happens after about 10 seconds in. The most interesting one I thought was around 6 seconds in. You may need to turn your sound up a little bit. Enjoy.
