Blogging from Surfer's Paradise!
Just spent the last half hour in a cybercafe typing out my blogpost, and in an accidental click -- kapoot! went back to the dashboard and post disappeared into thin air. Too irritated to re-type everything.
Blogging from Surfer's Paradise now, in a Korean cybercafe. They're playing familiar music (korean songs which I listen to also), Op system is in Korean, even keyboard's half Korean. Doesn't even feel as if I'm on a trip now.
Oh yeah for those who don't know yet -- I'm on a 2 week trip to Gold Coast and Sydney. Just started yesterday. To cap off an extremely busy few weeks, the weather here's been shocking. Rain / thunderstorm / rain / thunderstorm. Thankyouverymuch this's just what I needed.
Staying with my mates at Surfer's Paradise, very near the beach. But thanks to the awful weather, eversince we arrived it hasn't stopped raining. Which meant - no going to theme parks, no bumming at the beach. Makes me feel like screaming. Tomorrow there's more rain forecasted. Prob going to take a day trip to Brisbane, since there isn't much to do here anyways.
The flight yesterday was uneventful, for 2 hours. On the last 15 minutes -- ARGHHHH horrible turbulence. My worse experience in an aircraft ever. Reminiscient of being in a roller coaster. Due to the heavy cloud cover, we were going uuUPPPPpp and DDOOwn. Some kids behind were squeeling happily. I sure hope they maintain that naiveness when they grow up. All the grown-ups mainly just kept their mouth shut and hoped nothing happened.
After checking in, went to Cavill Avenue, the main shopping/ "happening" area. But... methinks its abit quiet. Probably because its a weekday, plus awful weather. Had some bibimbap then went back. Today went off to HarbourTown where they have alotof retail outlets ie Nike warehouse outlet, Adidas / Fila / NineWest / MaggieT/ Roxy etc. But most of the things are available in Melb, so there isn't really any attraction.
So far I haven't really felt any of the usual excitement I feel on trips. Prob cos I'm so used to Melb and it doesn't feel much different in Gold Coast. When we start going places, things'll prob get more interesting..
Nothing really eventful these 2 days, cept for the fact that I get to sleep early (at 2 in the morning, which is earlier than norm) and dinner at Hard Rock. Wanted to grab one of their shirts but at their ridiculously inflated prices, forget bout it. Average price for a tee is $55..?!
Tomorrow - Brisbane! haven't checked weather and list of attractions. Spontaneity it is then.
Next week - Sydney! thinking of what to do there..
Will be blogging sporadically over the next few days..

Just saw on the news that the Gold Coast is flooded, and the airport was closed for a while! What a time for your holiday, eh ;)
