We went to the Lume in just a couple of hours after we landed in Australia. I do not think many of us had the right amount of energy from flying an almost eight hours trip with only two hours of sleep to properly enjoy the Lume. Nonetheless the Lume had beautiful drawings/paintings and it was a calming place to be in. I enjoyed it thoroughly despite shortage of energy.  Later that day we went out to explore Melbourne a little bit, which was enjoyable, especially because the weather was nice, and ate dinner. 

We went to an Alexander Mcqueen exhibit where I many of his designs. His desgins were gorgeous and I loved reading the inspiration behind the pieces, I bought a mini poster (bottom left). We later got a backstage tour of the Art Centre and the guide explained to us what happens between shows and production. After the tour we went to a puppetry workshop which was really fun. We got to make our own puppet and our own play during the workshop, which was really enjoyable. Our play, which was quickly improvise, was about a dancer, who was depressed. The dancer was dancing gracefully before viscouly getting attacked by bees. The dancers gets down and starts crawling to safety, before doing an elegant dive into the audience, which acts as the water, to get away from the bees. In this piece I was controlling the left arm and waist. 

Victorias Market| National Gallery Tour | The First Australians Workshop |Mary Poppins

On our sixth day we first went to Victorias Market. In the market I bought three cute cat sculptures along with a bracelet. After the market we headed to the National Gallery and got to learn and see many objects and paintings. My favourite thing they showed us was a block a tea leaves which closely resembled dirt. 

Later in the evening we went to watch the musical  Mary Poppins. I loved Mary Poppins, the colors, the music, the characters, the production,  all of it was executed and done so nicely, I never expected to have liked it so much.
