Finally We Arrive!

After 50 hours of travelling, a crazy 20 hour stopover in Dubai and possibly the most draining physical experience one can imagine we have finally arrived in Brisbane! Ok we have been here almost 3 days now but its been hard accessing the net so this is kind of 3 days worth of stuff all packed into 1 post kind of like a 3 part special...like the lord of the rings trilogy or something.

The Flight

Genereally good and Emirates had some real cool food and even gave me a double choc chip cookie so I was a happy bunny! Though the flight wasn't all roses...I had to sit next to Jeetan who was passing wind for most the journey! Arrriving in Dubai was crazy as I didn't get much sleep on the plane, so we got to our friends Hotel and just set off from there, exploring the emirates mall, Jameira Beach and then coming back home to session up! Yes we had bought a bottle off duty free and were intent on finishing it! As the 3 of us tried very hard to accomplish that task it became more apparent that it wasn't going to happen! Plus we had a flight to catch to Singapore where we swapped planes, so after guzzling down some beverages of alcoholic content we went on a night out in Dubai! It was seedy as hell and full of dirty pervy men! Jeetan was in heaven as he realised that there were people in the world just like him, and he wasnt the only one. After that we rushed to the airport, tired , drunk, and worried about the flight ahead. After getting on the plane (just about) the rest of the journey was mostly a blurr.

The 1st Day

We got to Brisbane and on out 1st day we had our first dose of Aussie abuse. There was a barbeque for my cousin it was her 16th Bday and out first meal of the day was surprise surprise a corona beer...even Jeetan had one. The neighbours were invited and when introduced to us they seemed to have fun taking the mic out of our accent and calling us weird Pommies. Though Greg the neighbour did say that indian pommies were better than white pommies. We then went to my Uncles Indian restaraunt. Its the best restaraunt in Brisbane and has hosted many celebs there such as football teams, cricket teams and singers such as the likes of Kylie Minogue. The food was nice to say the least! We then took a walk around the south river bank at night time (pictured above) and saw some very interesting things. As we walked around the river bank unbeknown to us it was a place for couples to be "over affectionate", what was even worse was we were walking around with a camera and must have looked like real dirty perverts!

The 2nd Day

We went into Brisbane down town and to go shopping for shorts and suddenly realised that this massive city only had around 3 mens shops there, the rest were for women. It was quite funny because we asked a shop assistant and when she told us that there was only like 3 shops Jeetan howled with laughter almost like a crazed hyheena and said in his dull voice straight after "what do the men wear here then" the answer if it was me should have been "clothes" but the lady replied politely. Jeetan also had a very close shave in insulting a shop assistant because we asked her how long it would take to walk to a place called the valley. She replied around 25 minutes only for Jeetan to reply "how slow do you walk?" in an insulting tone in his lovely northern thick accent.

Day 3

Chilled with family, booked flights and hostels for Melbourne and played bored games with the kids here (not cos we're boring cos it was raining!). We played frustration, and i got to see a different side to Jeetan (the competitive northern lad one). he was even arguing with children as young as 8 and making up his own rules such as "carry on" if anyone else has heard of this rule please make a comment on this post letting us know what it is, because i think this northen chinese indian white man is making it up.

We have plans to go to wet n wild on saturday. Apologies if this post isn't quite as quirky as me and jeetan are in real life (cos we are right?), but we are both very tired.

Apologies for bad spelling and grammar this blog thing doesnt have a spell check, plus its like 2am in the morning here and we are still suffering from Jet lag and tired! Oh and before we leave something to leave you with! They actually have a lolly pop called "gaytime" down here. Its even advertised and everything! The slogan is something like "when you feel hungry folks, have a gaytime" (in an aussie accent!).

Untill we check in next time "tie me kangaroo down sport" and "G Day"(they actually say that down here!") to all of ya!
