Prison

So this week has been pretty uneventful until last night. There was a prison tour set up by the school and I was a bit skeptical, wahoo a prison tour that’s what I have always wanted to spend my Friday night doing!!! Yeah, well anyway a BUNCH of people went from the village and it was like an hour long ride to Fremantle which is a beautiful old England place on the port. I want to visit it sometime during the day, anyway, so this prison is where they kept prisoners from when they first brought people over until 1991!!!! This place is soooooooooooo creepy!!!! It was sooo cold, like down to your bones!!! The stories they told were crazy too!! I have videos as well for when I get back to show you all. Ok so some of the stories I just have to tell. Our guide was a Scottish lady and she was awesome!!! She said people have told her that she has had a man following her around that was one of the prisoners, and there have been pictures taken with weird orbs in them people think are ghosts. I didn't pick up anything to weird in my pictures. The lead singer of AC DC was in there for awhile and we saw his cell. There was one guy who stole something and got sent to prison for 10 years but kept escaping so finally they put up 2 inches of thick hard wood in his cell, and then put 3 sets of bars on the window and they also put nails into the boards all around the room and the door and he had a chain around his neck to the ground and still he escaped!!! He was pounding rocks in his cell and usually the guards removed them but they forgot so he started piling them up in front of him until the guards couldn't see him but they could still hear the tinking of his chisel but he was pounding through the wood in the cell!!! All in all 150 people that they know of escaped. It was sooo creepy!!! I guess some people who were prisoners came back after it closed and took tours, some even when they were on the run!!! It was a sweet tour even though I haven’t been that scared in a long time! The tour was an hour and a half! Check out the pictures!!
So after the tour we had about 45 minutes to hang out and we heard a football game going on. Ok so this was soooooo cool, it is called Australian Rules Football, and its kind of confusing. I will explain it to anyone who asks though. I know how Cricket works now as well. Anyway, so we watched this game for awhile and then it was half time and everyone rushed onto the field!!! So we went on it as well!! I thought that was sooooo coool!!! It was a league, not a city league though it is the people below the pros or something like that. Anyway we got to go right up to the players and I could smell them, gross. It was really cool though. Than on the way home on the bus we were all super hungry and a bit tired so we started singing crazy songs that all of us knew. It is cool to see how many songs are universal! We had Africans, Americans, Australians, Englishman, Norwegian, Swedish, French, German and Canadian, it was awesome. We had such a good time!!! I also talked to this Swedish guy on the way down to the prison and he wants to go into Military Intelligence and it was cool listening to his point of view on Americans. We look like idiots to him, but I tried to guide him to look at a different point of view. This guy is going to be a CIA though, dang. He was really smart.
Oh how could I forget, it was a dudes birthday on Thursday so we had a dress up party and the girls dressed as Guys and the guys dressed as girls. It was pretty much the funniest thing EVER!! After about 3 hours all the guys were like, I DON'T WANT TO BE A GIRL ANYMORE!! Some even had high heals on, I got some great pictures. Uni is good fun as Australians say.
