My name is Debora Olsson and I'm a junior spending the fall semester at the University of Melbourne in Melbourne, Australia.
The semester at UniMelb actually started in July since that's when Australians get off their winter vacation. We've had 8 weeks of lectures and at this very moment, I am on a two-week spring break - yes, my second one this year!
For our spring break, my exchange friends and I decided to go to Thailand for 10 days and Byron Bay, a beach town in New South Wales, Australia, for 5 days. In Thailand, we went to Bangkok, Phuket, Koh Phi Phi (the most beautiful place I've ever been) and Koh Samui. The food, beaches, culture, people and shopping were just incredible - the sex industry was the only disturbing part of our Thailand experience. At Byron Bay we have been surfing and tanning - we've been badly burnt even though we use 30+ SPF, I guess it's true what they say about Australia having holes in the ozone layer.
University has been going great.
