We arrived in Vietnam on the fourth of April. We arrived to humidity for sure, but it wasn't nearly as bad as in Singapore, thank goodness. Also, the people here are very nice! And, like Sri Lanka, the traffic here is CA-RAZY! Sure there are crosswalks that are marked down and all, but that doesn't …
Singapore
By Pippa We arrived in Singapore on the 29th of March. Like in the Cook Islands and Sri Lanka, Singapore is humid. Very, very humid. Also, Singapore is like one gigantic garden! Since it's so humid plants can pretty much grow rampant, but the gardeners keep it looking fantastic! The weird thing was when we arrived …
Cleland Wildlife Park
By Pippa On Friday the 23rd of March, I went to Cleland Wildlife Park. The bus ride was a little long, but it was totally worth it! I saw Tasmanian devils, different types of wallabies, lizards, snakes, all sorts of birds, wombats, echidnas and dingo’s! I even got to feed kangaroos, emus and bandicoots. The …
Meeting With Members of the Adelaide Sustainability Team

The Lost and Found Orchestra
By Pippa On Saturday the third of March we went to watch the Lost and Found Orchestra which was fun. All the instruments were made of literally any and everything! Seriously! There were traffic cones, pipes, bottles, umbrellas with wind chimes, wine glasses, drums, bellows and more! It was so cool! I was amazed by all the things they turned into …
Uda Walawe National Park in Sri Lanka
By Pippa On Saturday the third of February we went to Uda Walawe national park. We had to wake up at, hmm, about three in the morning. It was so much fun! Well not waking up at three, but everything else was. We got up close and personal with, well, I've lost count how many …
Field Hockey clinic
By Pippa Wednesday and Thursday Rowan and I went to a hockey clinic. First thing I'm going to say? Ow. Ow, ow, ow and ow. I actually think I am the most sore I have ever been in my whole life. But man is it fun!!! I started off literally knowing nothing and now I, um, well I can …
New years eve in Adelaide
by Pippa (with help from Rachel) Unlike our usual cold New Year's Eve, this one was warm and we were able to celebrate it outside on the edge of the Torrens River in Elder's Park. Everything was outside -- street performers, bands, and food trucks galore! Thousands of people were there, so the park was packed. …
a warm Christmas in Adelaide
by Pippa Let’s just say that being Canadian, ‘warm’ and ‘Christmas’ aren’t word I usually use in the same sentence, unless I’m saying that ‘Christmas is not warm’. This year it was a bit different. The first thing I noticed when I woke up in Christmas morning was the fact that it was bright. Since …
The Urban Beach of Adelaide
By Pippa No joke, really. It’s a beach. In the city. A lovely place, too. It had a place to play volleyball, a ping pong table, peddle boats and more! It was fun riding the peddle boats, but still a bit of a work out. There are some booths that sell drinks and food if …
