My week in Australia was pure heaven...It's like there's too much to say about it, but at the same time, i've been retelling my stories since I've come home. :lol:
Some tidbits:
-I tried TimTams...They're these chocolate coated chocolate biscuits with a slightly creamy filling. You can bite off the ends and use 'em like a straw. SOoooo good. I brought a few packs home. They were going to be gifts, but I think I will keep them for myself!! They cost twice as much at the airports!
-The shopping there was AWESOME! Clothes fit :D And were stylish yet unlike North America. Er, not to say North American clothes aren't stylish, it's just different. I came home with shoes, pants, skirts, and tank tops.
-Seeing family was nice! My cousin, Toby, took time off work to be a gracious host the whole time! He's getting married in the next year or two. As long as it's not this year, I can go back!
-Lots of beautiful people in Sydney.
-I got sunburnt the second day I got there, and the weather pretty much turned overcast for the rest of the week. The thunderstorms were amazing!!
-I got asked if I was from America a couple of times, and then if I was from China. :?
-Food there is of excellent quality!! mmmm!!
So I came back a few pounds heavier...that's okay. I'll work off the jiggles soon enough. And I haven't been eating enough the last couple of days; my body is definitely in starvation mode.
OH yeah! And I traveled 24 hours to come home!! Sydney to Hong Kong, layover, Hong Kong to Vancouver. The guy sitting next to me on the Sydney to Hong Kong flight slept most of the way with his mouth open, and his breath was stinky.
What else?? Those were the highlights!!
One lowlight was one of the dudes working at the reception in our hotel. I wrote a complaint in a comment card!! He was unfriendly, condescending, and unprofessional!! Booo hisssss
(Boooo hisss is something I"ve typing a lot today. I gotta stop that.)
