Caique and I went with Richard Brymora (Rotary Club Member) to Wollongong and near by places. We saw amazing views on our way down, had amazing coffee on a cafe, lunch in a Golfclub and then we went to a Buddhist temple.
The temple is the most pieceful, amazing, beautiful, meaningful, relaxing place I've ever seen. As soon as you walked in there your mind changed. Inside the temple it was covered with small statues on the whole wall, all of it in gold. All colours were happy and strong, and the strong smell from the incense surrounding us. The temple was placed in the mittle of an industrial area with a lot of pollution. The last place you would ever imagine a temple to be. But as Richard told us, the munks were happy about the spot the temple was placed on (:
It got to be amazing people choosing a lifestyle like that, but on the other hand, what a colourful life they must have.
After our visit there we drove around a creek and then to a lookout where you could see the whole Wollongong area, we had an icecream there as well. On our way home we went to some of Richards family members who just had a 'baby shower' we picked his wife up and then they drove us to Penrith station where Caique and I + the other exchange students had a thing at Christmas by Candle lights.
The event is once a year arranged by Penrith Rotary Club. It is on the stadium with a little scene, performance, candles and heaps of people. It was funny as, met up with some friends and just chilling. Had these glowing sticks as bracelets in different colours haha, and then there was all our flags, unfortuneatly Caique and I came too late for walking with our flag, which was a shame. But a great great night and day (:
