a taste of reality

so basically i've been on a two month vacation in australia, and i still have another two months to go. but today has brought me back to reality a little. it's september 11th here and nothing has been said. no moment of silence, nothing on the tv's, and no headlines. it's a little weird. in fact, i watched a skit that my college put on and they even made a joke about 9/11. it was so crazy and a little offensive. but it just goes to show the cultural differences. 9/11 obviously didn't affect these people the way it has in the states. i would like to think of this as my remembrance for that day, 8 years ago. this is my moment of silence.
