On Thursday I went with Monash University International Student Service (MUISS) on their Winter Swoop. The event was meant to take new international students and show them around the area through a scavenger hunt. There were 3 teams of about 8, which included a couple of guides to help show us around and give us the clues. The scavenger hunt started on campus and then took us to the Caulfield campus of Monash, the Caulfield train station, the Flinders St Station and other sites in the city, Chadstone Shopping Center, Clayton train station, and then back to campus. Along the way we had to answer certain questions and perform certain tasks while our guides documented our trip with cameras. My team was the last to return to campus, but we got second place because we did well on the challenge to give as many hugs to strangers in 10 minutes. Our prize was a free movie ticket for each team member. Back at campus we all looked at the pictures and videos that the other teams took and then had pizza.
Later I went back to Hoyts, a movie theater, in Chadstone and saw The Dark Knight Rises with a friend. TDKR came out a day earlier here than in USA. It was a fantastic movie but not was not as good as The Dark Knight.
