I went on a tour of the Melbourne Cricket Grounds today as another orientation! It was HUGE and very clean. It seats 100,000 people and was the home of many athletic events during the 1956 Olympic Games. After being shown around by this old guy that can walk faster than me, a few of us stayed around to watch a Cricket Match. Luckily I sat next to an Aussie and he tried to explain some of the rules. I believe I understand the basics. So next time I watch Cricket on the tv, I think I would be able to follow it!
I was really excited to see a Cricket Match because the season is ending. Actually the World Series is going on right now in India. Also, apparently the US has a cricket team... interesting. Who knew?? Well, with the end of Cricket comes the Australian Rules Football!! I am super excited, so stay tune for update on that in a few weeks!
Take care!
