One more day to go...

Today was quite the eventful one. Got to walk across the Harbour Bridge and see the multitudes of flags waved proudly by their native people. VERY COOL! There are so many languages here but all saying the same prayers. also, very interesting. We are at the media center waiting to go to the Vigil. Not very talkative today, EXTREMELY tired from this whirlwind week. Here is a cheer for all of you to learn that the Australians say incesently:

One Person: Aussie, Aussie, Aussie

All: OIY! OIY! OIY!

One Person: Aussie, Aussie, Aussie

All: OIY! OIY! OIY!

One Person: Aussie!

All: OIY!

One Person: Aussie!

All: OIY!


One Person: Aussie, Aussie, Aussie

All: OIY! OIY! OIY!


Cheers, Mate!

Can't wait for the translation!! and the translations for the slang in the blog entry. I guessed on some of them but others have no clue. Maybe you can give us the answers. Is the OIY said the same as the OIY and DOUBLE OIY that Myron Cope said??
