Day One

Although the first day was very exhausting, mainly due to the fact that I got very little sleep on the flight, I still enjoyed it quite a lot. I think the main highlight of the first day was experiencing the lume. I found the interactive art to be a lot more interesting than I first expected it to be. One picture I took of the lume is shown on the right.

Day Two

The main attraction of the second day was the street art. We first had a street art tour where we saw many different types of art combine together. However, later that day we actually made stencils. I actually found actually making the stencils the best part of the day. Although I wasn't very good at making stencils, the process itself was quite fun. I particularly enjoyed carving the plastic with the knife and spraying the actual paint on the stencil. A picture of my stencil is shown below. After making the stencils, we went to the carnival near the beach. This was the end of day two.

Day Three

During day three, we first went kayaking, then we had a tour of the old prison, and lastly we did a photography workshop on our phones. I think the best part was kayaking, mainly because it was very relaxing and I was able to do with Anthony. During kayaking, I was able to really enjoy the view of Melbourne. I found the main buildings to be interesting, as the architecture was very unique. I enjoyed the view by taking many pictures. One picture I took while kayaking is shown on the left

Day Four

The main part of day four was the theatre tours. Even though I am not really too interested in theatres, I found the designs of the theatres to be very unique and smart. Apart from this, I also admired the massive size of the theatres. It was really interesting to see how the seats were built so nicely for so many people (see the image to the right for one of the theatre's we visited). After the theatre tours, we went to a puppetry workshop. This was my main highlight of the day as I had lots of fun planning and acting the skit with my friends using the puppets. I also found it fun watching other groups' skits.

Day Five

On day five, the main attraction was the Healesville Sanctuary, where we got to see many interesting animals (most of which I hadn't seen before). I found this day to be one of the best because I really enjoyed seeing the animals interact with one another. I also enjoyed the bird show because it was very cool to see the birds fly right next to me. All the birds had extremely different behaviors and sizes. Here are some pictures of the Healesville Sanctuary:

Day Six

The best part of day six in my opinion was watching the Mary Poppins play. Going into the play, I didn't have too high expectations (since the last play I watched was when I was a very little kid, so I couldn't understand what was happening). However, this play exceeded my expectations to a new level. I really enjoyed the music and all the cool effects that happened on stage. I also greatly respect all the actors as they were all very talented and their roles were extremely hard to play. I found the play to have a good mix of humor and enjoyment. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of the Mary Poppins play, but Ryan Ko took a picture, so credits to him for this picture.:

Day Seven

On the last day, the main highlight in my opinion was the improv workshop. I never did improv before, but I found this to be extremely fun and entertaining. I was with lots of friends, so I had a good time laughing and playing for the most part. During the improv workshop, I think the zip zap zop game was the best part. I especially enjoyed this because everyone was able to laugh at other people's mistakes without offending them. During the improv workshop, I was having so much fun by the end it didn't feel like 2 hours. Once again, I forgot to take pictures of the improv workshop and room, so here is a picture from Ryan Ko:
