holiday in australia part 3: surfers and brisbane

the last few days we hang out in surfers paradise, perfect weather, nice waves and my first attempts to go surfing. i can say i wasnt that bad ;-) ok. maybe i was. but at least i managed to stand up on the board a couple of times.

surfers is a typical tourist city, scyscraper-hotels everywhere next to the beach, shopping malls, and night clubs. and that’s what we’ve been up to. shopping, drinking, dancing and getting sunburned. nice.

after that, flo and i went to brisbane again, where we met up with valentine who just arrived from singapore to join our roadtrip. some brisbane city visiting. i don’t like the city that much. nothing very special about it. but therefore, we’ve been staying at beautiful house in ipswich (near bris), where some friends of flo are living at the moment.

as i’m writing this blog entry, we’re about to leave for fraser island. one of the most beautiful places in australia people say…



australia is a lot as i expected it to be. surfpeople and shops everywhere, everything is so far away, so many young people and it is super warm. but the sun ain’t shining. so that sucks a bit.

as you can see i was busy uploading pictures of seoul and the first two days in australia.
the flight to sydney was bad as fuck and i couldn’t sleep for a second. but i managed to catch a flight to brisbane right after that, so i didn’t lost much time to get here.

by here i mean gold coast, surfers paradise, bond university. (whoever came up wit these names) that’s where im staying right now with flo and all the mates he got here on campus. it is super nice. everyone is so kind and easygoing that i’m sure i will enjoy the next days. even if flo needs to study a little bit til the 12th of december when the semester is ending.

i just bought myself a pink guitar today. so flo and i are ready to hit the road and play a few shows, like in queer clubs and stuff. just kidding… but i’m serious ’bout the guitar. i love it so much because it is so tiny and pink and it fits my new shirt haha.

if you’re watching the pics and you are wondering why the heck flo has a belt around his leg.
it’s just that we got drunk and flo didn’t realised it but he kind of got biten by a snake. the typical stains and blood on his feet (wearing flipflops all the time). so we overreacted a little bit and called flo a doctor. for the time waiting we needed to stop the poison from reaching flo’s heart, as you could easily imagine. turned out that it wasnt all that dangerous. but a snake bite. everything down here wants to kill you, that’s for sure.

look, we have a christmas tree. isn’t it awesome? cheers on that.
