Check em out and leave some comments letting me know how bad I look!
Right ok now back to the blog! So if i'm not mistaken, I left you last in Melbourne where we were about to get onto a 12 hour coach ride! I won't bore you with the details, but I will say this, It was horrible and I didn't have much sleep at all during it , it was all getting too much with the traveling and lack of sleep and I almost fell ill. I could feel my thorat, eyes and head hurt and could feel a cough coming on. Luckily I feel asleep just long enough to avoid it!
When we got to Sydney it was good Friday and we couldn't check into our hostel until 10am, and we were there at 7 am. So we spent 3 hours walking around a very quiet sydney! Its a very nice city, clean and beautiful! We walked up to the opera house and harbour bridge and it was a sight to behold! The sun had just come up it was reflecting off the water, Sydney itself was silent due to the lack of people there on good friday and in the horizon stood the opera house and the harbour bridge. I'm not usually one for this kind of the stuff, but the whole sight was beautiful. The view mixed with the silence really was something I won't forget for sometime, all you could hear was the water and the birds. I had to keep reminding myself that this was a capital city! The fact that i was thinking all this while still feeling hungover should give you an insight into how beautiful the sight really was!
We went back to our hostel checked in and went to the room. It seemed we were sharing it with some really messy girl her clothes seems to cover every corner in the bloody room! When we met her she was actually quite a nice girl and she was from Norway. We spent the 2nd half of the day in Sydney aquarium and once again i'm not one for all this animal stuff but we had a wikkid time in the shark tank and koala petting zoo thing and seein all this finding nemo clown fish! One thing that wrecked my whole evening without getting into too much detail was the amount of people crowdin round the tanks with cameras, in big families taking 5 million shots! It really started to piss me off why? because gues who it was? Chinese people! Millions of them all over the aquarium! That really hacked me off! They were all so rude as well pushing yout to get out of their shot without eveuing asking you politely! In the evening as the clubs etc were closed because it was good friday, we went for a nice meal by the harbour. Once again, i'm the type of person who loves my restaraunts and nice places and bars. This place was amaizng. It over looked the harbour at night. All the boats were all lit up in the harbour and it looked wikkid!
Anyway this blog has taken me 2 days to write due to computer problems so here's day 2 of Sydney. We woke up and went to manly beach. Basically we asked everyone there and the locals and they all said that Bondi beach was too commercialised and rubbish now and manly beach was cool and chilled out with more bars and food places on the beach. So we took a ferry down there. It was another beautiful sight. The ferry ride took about 30 mins to get to the beach and as we sailed out you could see the whole of sydney including the iconic opera house and harbour bridge, once again this was a sight to behold! When we came back we got to see the whole of Sydney lit up at night which was pretty cool aswell!
At night we went on a night out in Sydney. The club was cool and that, although it was pretty messed up. As in Sydney you get alot of people from India studying here. So then they come out on nights out after. It's messed up! They walk around like wannabe bollywood models and do some of the dodgiest dancing known to man. They try to copy dance moves like the worm and stuff and it just doesn't look right. Then they start body popping, don't get me started on that! Luckily they haven't attempted the robot yet. What makes it funnier is that they are REALLY dark and have dodgy Moustaches! Anyway the night out was ok, nothing special, we then went to sleep at 3am and had to get up at 5am to catch our plane back to Brissy. It's safe to say when we got back we looked like dead dogs, and thats complimenting us!
Anyway I will do a small bit on what happen when we got to brissy (which is the family house we were staying in before we left). We got back, showered, slept for 5 hours, woke up and ate! Then this is when stuff got messed up! Some random woman came over to our house that my family knew and heard me speak punjabi and was impressed or something. Next thing I know arrangements are being made for my supposed marriage! Thats right this woman tried attempting to set me up with some girl she knew. So I was polite with her, laughed it off and got the hell out of that room! That wasn't that last I heard of it, as my family then proceeded to take it further in a serious manner! I kind of deflected it now I think though (for the time being!). What's the best thing about coming back to brisbane though? The fact that I can drink milk again! Yay!
