I'ts true, Australia is exactly like "Thunder Down Under"





Lauren and I were invited to go on a Purity Cruise last night in Sydney. (We have no idea why it was called Purity Cruise as it was a booze cruise around the harbor)

After having a few cocktails we headed over to the wharf and were soon reconsidering our trip when we saw gaggles of women dressed alike and seemingly celebrating bachelorette parties (or Hen parties as they are called here). We asked some women to make sure we were in the right place and thankfully we were not. It was "Wild Boys Afloat" which is a cruise with male strippers.

Happy that we avoided screaming women and Australian strippers, we headed to the right wharf. Once aboard, we were noticing that the only attractive men seemed to be the ones who worked there. So as we got our cocktails at the bar we struck up conversation with a guy and soon found out that we were on a boat that normally is called "Studs Afloat" another Australian male strip cruise. This however, was their night off so the company just organizes fun booze cruises. By this point I am starting to think that everything I had previously learned in Vegas about Australian culture is true: all Australian men are strippers and at any moment could rip their clothes off and dance to "I'm too sexy for this shirt."

We couldn't help laugh that out of all the places we'd end up it would be on a boat with off-duty strippers. But we had a good giggle and didn't take anything too seriously as we danced and hummed, "do my little turn on the catwalk...."
