What a great city!

It possesses the cosmopolitan feel of many big cities yet it is still clean! So I'm over half way through my Colorado part of my journey and I'm loving it! Work's good, especially the people I work with (YES I KNOW YOU'RE READING THIS!), they're awesome! And Vegemite is still mentioned ten times a day (SOMEONE SEND ME SOME SO I CANT STOP THEM!). A very nice lady from work has been taking me out and showing me the sights of Denver, and it's been so much fun!

Last Friday night was a first as we went karaoking! Yes I sang! Scary as it was I had a ball. Then on Saturday we went to the Renaissance fair, this bizarre festival where people dress up in medieval costumes and drink too much. There were traditional games like axe throwing competition and jolsting, there were hilariously funny yet politically incorrect and immensely rude shows like 'Iris and Rose', and cute little shops selling everything medieval that you ever dreamed of. Not to mention people with REALLY bad english accents and push up corsets. It was definitely and experience to be had, fantastic fun!

Sunday I ventured into downtown Denver and it was still clean and orderly, not like some crazy American cities. There was a lovely sixteenth street mall with more Starbucks than shops on it, and colourful ceramic cows all over the streets (I don't get that).

Wednesday night we went to a pro baseball game, the local Rockies team against the Brewers! Needless to say we didn't watch much of the game... but the hotdog was good, and the atmosphere was fun, even on a Wednesday night. I love baseball to begin with and watching sports live is ten times better! Afterwards we stupidly went to a piano karaoke bar where me and Bettina got up on stage to do a terrible rendition of Waltzing Matilda, too bad I don't know the words.

I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE!

Notes: Apparently toilets spin the opposite way here when it's flushed, someone tells me which way the toilet spins at home?
