So today me and Heather got our tax file numbers figured out at the Australian Tax Office (TFN's are the equivalent of having a SIN) and the lady gave us a slip to show our employers saying we've applied and not to overtax us while we wait for it to arrive at my auntie Jill's in the mail. We went to the botanical gardens and saw scary spiders and geckos, but i had my blonde moment there which sucks smelly wrinkled butts, I bought some really cute sandals and forgot the bag with them in it in the park cause i was too busy photographing everything so I was like UGGHH!!. They were 20 bux, so its not the end of the world but it still sucked.
We also took the Citycat ferry that runs through the centre of the city to see it from the river and I got some really amazing shots of the skyscrapers with the sun just starting to set. Hmmm trying to think where else we went. OH the postoffice. I bought 40 postcards for 15$ and mailed them in bulk to my friends at work and then saved some for other people and for scrapbooking so that went well. Everyone is super super friendly here! The moment we pull out our map, before it's fully unfolded, someone just stops and asks where we need to be and happily points us in the right direction. Really helpful :)
I got a quote for my tattoo idea a this really fancy tattoo parlour and it was less than i expected. 130$ for a small, black and white lilly on my side so I can hide it. I think I'm going to get it after Easter, since that's when the stores will be open again. I love how here in Oz they're "shops" and not stores, its very British sounding.
So far Ive been applying sunscreen like a Nazi and have got no colour what-so-ever, exactly as I planned. I want to come back as hauntingly white as I left so I dont look weird.
Anywho I was going to skype you guys tonight but realized I waited too long in the evening and it's easily 1:30am where you are so its no wonder no one is answering lol
I have to say, Vancouver is a very lovely city but Brisbane is 10000x more gorgeous. The things that strike me the most are how modern, green, and super clean it is.
Have a good Thursday! I did :)
