Maj 2014 - May 2014

Maj 2014 - May 2014

W maju wybralismy sie odwiedzic kangury w Morisset Park :-) Sa tak przyzwyczajone do ludzi, ze wrecz oczekuja na pieszczoty typu podrapanie po klatce piersiowej lub po plecach ;-) Poza tym odkrylismy kolejne urocze miejsca w okolicach Sydney i kilka ciekawych "widokow" na ulicach, jak np. Fiat 126p ;-) A skoro o ciekawych widokach mowa, to jakis czas temu na ulicach Sydney pojawily sie kolorowe slimaki promujace festiwal sztuki (Art and About Sydney). 

Na uczelni mielismy przedstawic prezentacje pracy zaliczeniowej (Marketing Plan). Jako ze organizacja, jaka sie zajelismy byla firma Havaianas produkujaca slynne "japonki" chcielismy w tle miec ich wielki klapek, tak dla zabawy, jednak okazalo sie, ze nie tak latwo go nadmuchac (pompka nie pomogla, pluca nie wystarczyly), rownie trudno bylo potem wypuscic z niego powietrze ;-) Wazne, ze prezentacja okazala sie sukcesem pomimo braku wspolpracy ze strony klapka ;-)

Poza tym maj to byl kolejny miesiac wielu wydarzen towarzyskich:
- ceremonia wreczenia dyplomu - Andrew, brat Rose, na ktorej wreczeniu dyplomu bylam we wrzesniu konczyl University of Sydney
- urodzny Lisy - kolezanki z pracy - caly stol byl zarezerwowany dla przyjaciol z Navitas (mojej pracy) :-)
- ceremonia przyznania obywatelstwa australijskiego Moniki i Rafala


In May we went to visit the famous kangaroos at Morisset park :-) They are so used to people being around that they actually expect you to pat them or scratch their chests or backs. Apart from that we discovered some charming places around Sydney and came across some interesting sightings such as a Fiat 126p (a very popular car in Poland when I was a child). Speaking of interesting sightings some time ago (well, last year to be precise) colourful snails invaded Sydney - they promoted The City's 12th annual Art and About Sydney Festival.

At my school we had to present our assessment (Marketing Plan) to fellow students. Since we analysed and focused on Havaianas - a company that produces the famous flip-flops (thongs) called Havaianas - we wanted to have a giant inflatable Havaianas thong in the background, just for fun. We discovered, however, that it was not easy to inflate it (the pump didn't help, lungs were not enough); it wasn't easy to deflate it, either ;-) Anyway, what's most important is that the presentation was truly successful :-)

May was another month full of social events:
- graduation ceremony - I was invited to Rose's graduation ceremony in September, now her brother - Andrew - graduated from Sydney Uni
- Lisa's (friend from work) birthday - we had a whole table reserved for people from Navitas (my work)
- Monika and Rafal's citizenship ceremony
