editors - eat raw meat = blood drool

editors - eat raw meat = blood drool by myshoestravel

my shoes and their first barbie in australia.

my shoes waiting for their meat.

my shoe grilling kangaroo (not sweetcorn). in australia, a bbq (barbie in aussie) is usually gas, not charcoal. having a barbie is probably the most popular cooking experience you can have here.

my shoes and their colleagues' ones.

my shoes at the 10th floor of their building, on the terrace.

my shoes and the table.

my shoes tasting kangaroo meat. kangaroo meat is obviously quite popular in australia. this is pretty easy to find it in a normal shop between beef, lamb and pork. the taste is alright, and much better with a marinade. the cooking time is important: too much and it becomes a bit chewy.

my shoes finished it all.

animal collective - bother sport

animal collective - brother sport by myshoestravel

my shoes watching australian football league grand final.

afl is a very popular sport in victoria. most of the teams are from melbourne or the suburbs. the gameplay is in between rugby, american football, classic football (soccer) and a bit of basket ball when the players have to dribble. the footballers have to kick the ball (that looks like a rugby ball) between posts.
more about the afl rules here.
this year, the final was collingwood against st kilda, two suburbs of melbourne. collingwood won 108 to 52.
