On that Friday all exchange students had to attend a mandatory going-home orientation session about what needed to be done before leaving the school, making sure financial and academic records were settled, etc. This ended around 5:30 pm, and directly afterwards we got together to kick off the festivities for the night. The cruise was themed, and we were told to wear either boat-themed or geek-themed attire.
Anybody that had clothes to match the theme or had time to get some got changed in the hour before, and/or began drinking. Unfortunately I had been hospitalized shortly prior to the party cruise (a now-recurring problem with my pancreas... long story) so I wasn't able to join my friends in drinking. None the less, a quick hour flew by and we headed to the train to get to the harbor.
Getting off at Southern Cross station, we made the short walk around Etihad Stadium and boarded the boat.
The DJ was already playing music upstairs and in about 15 minutes the bar and food was made available downstairs. Shortly after that, the boat disembarked and we were off.
After that, three hours of fun began! Unfortunately the weather was terrible, switching between drizzling and raining all night. Otherwise the night was perfect, with free food and very cheap drinks for anybody that wanted it. Here are some pictures of the night : )
