Australia Day

Yesterday was Australia Day - one of the 5 main national holidays that Australians get off work. I spent it with my boss and his friends who are all from New Zealand, but apparently the way Australia day works is you sit around drinking beer and BBQing while listening to Triple J (the popular indie rock/Australian bands radio station) do their "Hottest 100" countdown of the year, which runs all day. Overall, it was pretty fun and definitely nice to get a day off work in the middle of the week. Even though it totally sounds like a made up holiday to me.
