May 2 – Is there a reason why we usually pass things to the left?

We’ve been having a heat wave for the last 3 days. It’s been feeling like about 27 degrees. Prior to the heat wave, we had weeks of rain and cloud. Today’s the last day of the heat wave, although we have thunderstorms. Thunderstorms are awesome when you can enjoy them from the comforts of your own home. I love it when they happen just as I’m going to sleep. Tomorrow, it’s going to drop right down to 10 and stay between 5 and 10 for the rest of the week. I brought plenty of clothes for the range between 10 and 20 and I haven’t even gotten to wear them yet. It’s ridiculous and everyone’s sick.

Yesterday, I went to the 3 ponds again, but this time with the Canadian guys: Alex, his visiting buddy Simon, Jordan, John, & Marcin. Alex approached some Swiss guys in the park, and one of the guys just said, “I remember you from The Elephant club! You were very drunk!” hahaha. We ended up just chilling with them for a while. We had sudden hunger spasms, but it wasn’t time for dinner yet, so we passed around a jar of pickles – to the left, of course. Then, for a while, we just ate bread.

Alex had thought that there would be grills at the park, but it turned out that you’re supposed to gather wood on your own and start your own fire in the park. When it got close to dusk, people were climbing trees, breaking off branches, and starting fires just in the middle of the park. We met up with Alex’s exchange buddy and some of his buddy’s buddies. They already had a fire going and so we cooked up some sausages. There were almost 10 of us standing in a circle. The guy who was cooking passed the first done sausage to the guy on his left and we just kept passing it to the left until it reached the guy to the right of the guy who was cooking hahah. I was wondering if people in Australia pass to the right… Their toilets do flush in the opposite direction.
