Anyone who attended any student body retreats, or camps in college or high school might be familiar with this interactive game of clue where people are assigned characters in a role-playing game where the majority of townspeople have to decipher who the fake killer is using deductive reasoning and learning to read people. Once this game was introduced, it became a regular activity for our downtime in upcoming cities...
ANOTHER TRAVEL DAY! And we roll DEEP!!!
Arriving in Sydney, Australia... down under... the accents are cool, the beaches are beautiful, the food rocks, the people are fun, transportation is a breeze, and the audiences are almost as good as the Europeans! There is not much negative that can be said about Australia. Except for the random fly infestation they seem to have. The flies they have haunt you, they'll just hover around you no matter how much you swat at them.
Arriving in this town we were overwhelmed with options of things to do. I couldn't fit it all in considering I still wanted to fit sleep into my schedule, so I started the first day there walking to the harbor to see the world famous Sydney Opera House. It was truly breathtaking during the day. I felt like it was just a large monument no one could even enter. It was hard for me to fathom people enjoying opera inside that place. Did that and ate at 'pancakes on the rocks' with DJ Drew and Kevmo. We walked around the rest of the harbor and finished in time for our call time. After show activities involved taking over the lobby and playing Mafia again for hours and hours!
Day two in Sydney I went shopping down on Pitt street which I highly recommend to anyone looking to get trendy things for average prices. It wasn't anything to overly rave about... but for a woman... it's shopping. Isn't that equal to millions in therapy?
Day three in Sydney I decided to wake up early and enjoy the 'Market on the Rocks' down on the harbor. It was a bunch of tented outdoor markets that sold handcrafted items and edible goodies for any occasion. I came out with nothing because I was so overwhelmed with all my options. While walking about I ran into Yusef, CB's cameraman, and he and I decided to check out the famous Bondi Beach! It was breathtaking and couldn't have been a more perfect day with better weather! The sun was beaming, the beach was crowded! The graffiti artists were out adding more art to the walls of Bondi Beach. I convinced a guy to put my favorite symbol on the wall! We continued our trek past Bondi Beach through the cliffs where there are walkways with awesome views of the water and the rocks. We followed this trail all the way to Tamarama beach, a white sand beach slightly less populated than Bondi but still had a similar feel. Tamarama seemed to have more surfers in the water... and the water seems to break more clearly on that end. After all this walking I was getting drained and realizing that I had to perform that night, went back to the hotel for a nap.
Upon arriving to the venue that evening, we were handed a sheet of paper informing us of the usual after-party... only this time, it was a private party just for our two groups on board a yacht, thanks to our amazing boss!! Basically after the show, we were bussed straight to the port to board a yacht that sailed around the harbor until 4 am with all of our crew on it! It was three levels of mayhem with DJ Drew and Kevmo spinning on the middle level and food being served every time you turned around. This was probably the best night we've had out, especially since there was no show the next day and we got to get to enjoy ourselves and just have fun. I still can't believe this is my job... I'm pinching myself as I type. That was an incredibly entertaining evening.
Sydney ended to soon as we headed to RANDOM Perth...
For anyone who is familiar with Australia's layout, Perth is in the western region and although the weather is nice... the town is different and everything closes at 5 pm. We definitely played Mafia in this town, because there was nothing else to do. The show that night was our last with Chris' crew on the Australian night, so we had what we would constitute a "prank night." Basically we do things to mess with the other crew's show... although it may have gotten out of hand in some people's mind... we all truly had a blast and hopefully the audience still enjoyed our pranks and good fun.
Will update soon with Singapore details! :)
