Resurfacing

30 April 2004, 19:48

Bwahahahahaha, just when you thought I’d gone for good! Can’t get rid of me that easily!

We touched down in the sunny north Wednesday morning, in a torrential downpour (welcome to sunny Queensland!) and are staying at Matt’s aunt’s and uncle’s place, a divine Queenslander. Only potential problem is 1) nobody bothered to tell us that this suburb is Dengue Fever Central during the wet season (just coming out of it) and has been for the past 3 years (the Japanese paranoid in me got some airing at that news) and 2) the neighbours are not above popping into the house and pinching stuff. Weird stuff though – our cameras and laptops were untouched, instead they took some coins, a lighter, a bottle of half-drunk champagne and some Pepsi Max. Hmmmmmmm.

It is nice to be back. Just catching up on the little aussie things that we missed, like steak, Villis sausage rolls, BBQs, trashy magazines in English, Coopers Pale Ale, thunderstorms and the Beach. Oh yeah, bring ‘em home to mama!

  1. Wtf? Random_neighbour_02 comes in, grabs some stuff, eats through half of the fridge's contents, and casually sets the house on fire? Man, I'd love to be back too.. :p (Recovering from the after-Japan -shock here. Man, I can't believe you actually left! Omg! Waaah!?)

  2. There's nothing like a queenslander (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)...I'm not only referring to the houses!!! Glad you made it back safely. pp

  5. Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your fresh and honest comments. I read your site about once a week, and it always reminds me of my time in Japan. Good luck in your new adventures and your upcoming wedding. Bill
