Gold Coast Trip 2010.1: Brisbane
Warning: Don't camwhore in public or risk getting caught.
Last summer, I had the opportunity to chill and take a break up North at the Gold Coast, way before the state went underwater.
But first, here's couple of pics from Hurricanes at Darling Harbour.
Really nice prawns.
Non-Halal ribs.
Beef ribs.
Anyway...
This is Taufiq. He wants to be the Prime Minister of Singapore. Yup.
This is Jee. He dresses better than you. Oh and they're brothers.
This is Sam. He was my housemate for a year (sounds a bit like playmate of the year lol). He's the nicest guy on the planet, like seriously. It's near impossible to get this guy pissed. Annoyed, possible. Like full on angry, try again in a million years.
So, I didn't exactly take photos of every single thing I did, but here are some of the things I did do.
So we took the train to Brisbane.
And here's Brisbane.
Brisbane's a little like Sydney, just a little smaller. Initial impression is that it's a little gray and concrete-ty. In case you don't know, Brisbane is the capital city of the state of Queensland. This metropolitan city is named after the river which it sits on which was named after some Sir Thomas Brisbane, once the governor or New South Wales. Thanks Wikipedia.
While we were in Brisbane, we checked out the Musuem.
They had a go at being dinosaurs...
...while he had a go at flying.
After that, we visited the Art Gallery.
A photo for your political campaign?
Y'know how they have a baby kissing sessions right?
Just so that you reading this post is not a total brain drain, "My beautiful pink polar bears 2005 comes from Scott Redford’s ongoing series of artist multiples. The first set was made in 2000 and was inspired by a ceramic figurine that he found in a Brisbane junk shop." I got all that here.
When that was done, we just chilled in the city.
She doesn't seem like she's enjoying her ice cream.
Life feels a bit like that right now.
After a day in the city, and a cuppa Starbucks, we took the train back to the Gold Coast.
But by the time we reached Gold Coast, we missed our bus. So we waited.
More photos coming up. Too many to put in one post.
