Since coming to Japan, I have really missed classic Australian things. So, since I am friends with another Australian here, we decided to celebrate Australia Day! For all of our European friends, it wasn't a very interesting celebration. They didn't really know/understand what it was, but they came to celebrate with us anyway.
Georgia (my other Australian friend) had decorated her entire apartment in Australian flags. She gave us all tiny flags which we put on our clothes and it was cute. The food tried to be Australian. However, in Japan there are literally no normal sausages - at least, none like Australia. I think people just don't eat them here, so there's no need for them. But, we made them work for our fake sausage sizzle. We also had fairy bread and vegemite, so it was basically like being in Australia. The whole day was spent watching Summer Heights High and listening to the greatest Aussie hits - it was really fun!
