I\u2019m an exchange student from Vancouver, Canada. My first two weeks in Adelaide have been a whirlwind of beach adventures, new friends, spontaneous outings and of course, settling in to this beautiful place that I get to call home for the next 5 months. With a 18.5 hour time difference, jet lag was to be expected, but I adjusted quite quickly to the time change \u2013 and the warm weather compared to home certainly helped!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Getting comfortable here has been an amazingly easy adjustment, however, there\u2019s the odd saying that catches me off guard, for example if someone asks you to come over for tea\u2026it doesn\u2019t mean a warm herbal drink you\u2019d have on a cold day, it means dinner. On another note, popular music in Adelaide doesn\u2019t consist of as much American mainstream music as I was expecting which was a pleasant surprise!

And thanks to Flinders O\u2019Week, I was lucky enough to see a couple of them live!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The past 14 days have been jam packed with new experiences, and I can\u2019t wait to see what\u2019s next!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey, I\u2019m Kirstin!
