Things we have learned so far:

We are finally getting settled here in Melbourne, one week after arriving. Apologies for the lack of updates, things have been a little overwhelming but we are going to try to post on a more regular basis from here on out. Not much has happened yet. Andy started work and I am getting better at not getting lost...sort of. Here are some things we have learned so far:

• There is no yellow cheese. At least none that we've seen. 
• Katie is bad at directions.
• Andy is good at directions.
• Public transit is confusing. Listed times are merely suggestions and if you don't know when your stop is coming you will miss it. They don't announce it nor is there a screen telling you what's next. Or a map anywhere inside the busses. 
• Kangaroo is on the menu. Best served rare.
• The change in your pocket is actually worth money. Always forgetting that.
• Coffee is really good but ordered quite differently. More on that later.
• KFC is everywhere.
• We haven't run into any other Americans.
• Peanut Butter is really salty. Everything is really salty.

Needless to say, the strangest thing so far is that everything is very familiar but just a little bit off. No huge culture shocks yet but it's only been a week.
