The loud and annoying model was the last straw. | I'm feeling very tired right now, because I didn't get a whole lot of sleep last night. By the time I got home and unpacked, it was 2am. Ew. I feel exhausted. But it was worth it! It was absolutely the trip of a lifetime, despite the relative shortness of it.
So instead of talking about anything in particular, I'm just going to respond to your comments. My next post will contain something more, I assure you.
Alan: I only went on twice (once on each day) and it was great fun. I think that it was probably the second-scariest ride in the park. My personal scariest was The Gaint Drop. Coming down from it was fine - but waiting in mid-air, for the free fall to happen at any second, is quite unsettling. ~_^
Baronness: Which one was the Tornado? Was that the rollercoaster? There was a Nickelodeon one as well (I went on both). They were pretty cool, especially the bigger one.
And yes! Everyone tells me that Singapore is very exciting. I actually saw a big Singapore brochure at my friend's house and I'm definitely pretty interested in seeing it for myself.
indifference: No worries! And thanks for the PM. I really appreciate your interest in the network, it's very nice to see. I hope things are going well with you. ^_^
Shinji: I think that Brisbane is just so underrated. In some respects it reminds me of Melbourne, at least in comparison to Surfer's Paradise. It's country town-ish, but it doesn't contain the general plastic and fake feel of Surfer's. It's more real and more down to earth. For me, that was a treat.
The theme parks are cool; I still haven't been to Movie World, so that'll be next on the agenda.
ComicSailor: I appreciate your comment; it's cool that you decided to comment after visiting for a while.
I would really love to travel in America. New York is a place I'd particularly like to go. One of my friends has pictures of himself and his family in NYC during New Year's and stuff...and it's all quite impressive. It would certainly be fun to visit some of those sights that you often see on television. I can say that the Opera House in Sydney is more beautiful in person than in any glossy photo. And considering how gorgeous the photos are...that's saying something. I'm sure that's also true of many other famous landmarks. ^_^
Alan: Oh yes, I was in Queen Street Mall only yesterday! I went to a souveneir store there and I also had lunch there. It's similar to Bourke Street in Melbourne, only smaller and without the trams. I think if you went to Melbourne you would feel quite comfortable in that sense. ^_^
dream wings: Haha, I like your comment! Actually, there were some very odd people at Dreamland (especially the second time 'round). Not only does just about everyone up there dress like it's still 1985, but there were some very funny characters up there that really stood out.
For example, we went to get ice cream and a woman was waiting for hers at the counter. Another woman went to order and the first woman yelled "I'M NOT FINISHED YET!" at the top of her lungs. You really had to be there...the look on her face was priceless. She looked as though she'd just swallowed a lemon or something. And then there was the service station woman who loudly joked about the rides she'd been on at Dreamworld (with swear words as every second word). She was very funny though, and very friendly.
Anyway, I'm rambling, so I'll stop. Thanks for your comment.
Oh! Before I go, I must show this to everyone. Click here to view a very cool Brisbane tourism commercial. This TV spot really captures what Brisbane feels like. It even captures the lightness of the clouds at night (especially where they are walking up the sand dune). I feel that this captures Brisbane far more than any of my own photos ever could. Definitely a must-watch, especially for those of you who are only really familiar with Sydney. It demonstrates that there are plenty of other beautiful cities in Australia to visit.
