Aussie day 6
Clean up day. Did chores around the apartment, mopped, vacuum, etc. Packed my luggage as well. Couldn't fit everything into the luggage. Had to transfer some clothes to my backpack for hand carry.
Tired from all that housework. If only I did 20% of what I did today back home. Everything would be much neater hahah.
Early morning tomorrow. Leaving at 5.40am, need to reach the airport at 7am.
Good night aliens!
Aussie day 5
Travelled to gold coast for shopping, retail therapy ftw! Spent a bit too much I think, though they were really good deals!
Decided to make pasta instead of eating out. The food prices here are insane. Total damage: A$11, McDonald's: A$15 (for one person). Jesus.
Always loved creamy chicken pasta, so I started searching online for recipes. Went to coles for some grocery shopping then went back home and started prep. Was a little disorientated at first, not sure which step was next and stuff, but I can proudly say I can make it now with no recipe!
Aussie day 4
Went to the city to shop around, bought some souvenirs and gifts. Had korean food in the afternoon, then a burger at night. MOAR BURGERS.
It's pretty lame that the shops closes around 5pm. Anything else that's open is just related to food, unless it's a night market. I guess that's just how things are over here.
Waking up early to go to gold coast tomorrow, so gonna rest soon.
Aussie day 3
Slept in, woke up around 3pm today. Had some eggs and toast for breakfast (if you still call it that at that time), then left for north brisbane.
Long travel, got lost somewhere in the journey, but friendly customer service staff and transport operators pointed us in the right direction again. They're so friendly!
Long walk towards the place, but it was worth it. $2 entrance fee. Food everywhere. From all around the world. I had two sets of burgers and fries. One all western, the other korean - American fused. Lovely meals! Had Hungarian garlic bread, ginger beer, beef burger, bulgogi beef burger. Lots to eat. Gonna be fat in no time.
Australia day 2.
Woke up earlier to go to gold coast. Went to dreamworld! Not enough time to ride everything I wanted, but doesn't matter, managed to ride the tower of terror! Not so much terror though. The legend is greater than what it actually is. Went on some other rides as well.
Went over to gold coast beach market to walk around afterwards. Bought a leather hat for dad! Hope he likes it. Still shopping around for gifts though.
Tried from walking and travelling. Gonna sleep now.
Aussie day 1
Arrived at brisbane airport and cleared customs by 10.50am. Boarded the train and headed for the city. Met up with cousin and went to her apartment and took a nap.
Went for lunch at her university, had smoked salmon pizza. Best combo ever. Her uni was very nice! I wished I studied there :(
Walked around the city, till dinner time, then had some awesome ramen. Food there is super expensive. But that ramen made every dollar worth it. Free refills too!
On the way back, saw people playing super sized board games, interesting, what's more, it's free to play! Very wonderful idea! Too bad I was too tired for it though.
Haven't rested properly yet, going to shower and sleep.
I'll let the pictures do the talking!
Normal work today. Well not really, really relaxed work. Took a nap from 11.30am to 3pm. Went to gym from 3pm to 4.30pm. Last gym session for a week so I pushed pretty hard. Traps and triceps hurting more, but that's good!
Came home and finalised my packing, withdrew another few hundred dollars for the trip. Oh god I'm broke now. I hope the trip will be worth it!
Gonna miss my friends and family, but it's a nice break and I'm looking forward to dropping everything and relax.
Waiting to board the plane now, going to be a long 8 hour flight. There's many kids on board, hope they don't get too rowdy.
Following updates will be from aussie!
