Day Something

Day 12-20...?

Hello everyone!
Sorry about the lack of updates!!

So I am going to talk about as much as I can remember of the last two weeks since the last blog was published.
Well we met our very first friends Bruce and Wally by walking into a duty-free shop/store here in downtown Brisbane. We then went with them that evening to see Fast Five which was fantastic.

After that me and heather hung around town, taking advantage of the free actives and sightseeing there are here. We spent some time down at the man-made beach that houses a water-park and a street market. There we found coin operated barbecues so we plan on having a lunch day there soon since the weather has been so nice lately. In the market Heather bought a really pretty new necklace (which is green of course) and some ceramic figurines of frogs and lizards. Later in the same area (the section of town called SouthBank) we found an asian pagoda and discovered a possum looking down at us from one of the rafters!!! We have a picture, but it is currently on Heather's camera so you'll have to wait until she uploads her picture files.

Later in the hostel we met a group of very drunk boys: Adrian, Chris, Will, (who are all from the UK) and Isaac (USA). Somehow we became friends and had many intoxicated and hilarious adventures with them. I remember Adrian for his calm demeanour and lack of flashing us his junk!! I remember Will because he often told us to "Fuck your face!", the beer and ice-cream challenge, and how much better he did when we karaoke-ed "Dirty DIana" at a nearby bar! (pictures of this are on Facebook I am sure) Chris I remember for his obsession with balls, lighting pubic hair on fire, and because he always had background commentary to whatever we watched on television or people he witnessed walking around. Lastly Isaac, the pretty Yankee boy, I haven't decided yet XD ;)

Recently, apon meeting Lee (our very first Australian friend -- Woop Woop) piled myself, Heather, and Isaac into his cute little beater car and drove us out to the Gold Coast so we could finally see the ocean!! Lee wasn't very impressed with my music choices on my ipod while we were driving, but Isaac gave me some kudos for having Prozaak!  C-mon  everyone had a thing for Prozaak in 1999. So the beaches are GORGEOUS! White sand that is so fine it makes a squishy sound when you run on it, and lots of warm waves. Unfortunately, after taking some photos and being in the water for roughly 15 minutes I dove into a wave and Isaac accidentally elbowed,kneed, or kicked me in the face! So, that was fun, lots of blood and a Bay-Watch style rescue from Isaac, resulting in a possibly broken nose. Pictures available!

After that eventful day, we went out dancing the night after which I must admit I got a liiittttlllleee too drunk :P I had fun though! Before and after my one-on-one with the club toilet. XD I also managed to fool the general public with a heavy dose of mac concealer that I was not a victim of two very purple black eyes that night hahaha.

Alcohol is retarded expensive here by the way. Like seriously 2.5x as much as anything in Canadian liquor stores. We've been drinking a lot of "goon" - also know as 12$ wine that comes in a 4L box. Sad I know, but cheaper than fancy bar drinks by far.

Next Heather and I are going to do an overnight camping trip to Moreton Island which has sand-boarding, snorkelling (around sunken ships!), 4WD tour of the island, and a nature hike! It will be the last expensive thing I do before me and Heather split up for 2 weeks. Due to my miserable failure to get a job here in the city I am going to live with my Aunt and Uncle up by MacKay and job hunt in Cairns while Heather does some solo touring. We're going to meet up back in Cairns after and keep on keeping' on form there. Hopefully, our friend Isaac will join us at some point. And if you're reading this Isaac, if you don't I'll kick your butt!!

Lastly, I heard everyone at Whitespot got their postcards so thats fantastic. I need someone to tell me weather Dale liked his, because I picked his out extra special here.

Okay guys! Will blog again soon I hope! More pictures added today as well so check them out!!
