Alright! Where to begin? Lets start with the hassles of my trip so far! On my flight from Sydney to Gold Coast the Airline broke BOTH of my new luggage which I was using for the second time. On my big suitcase the handle does not come up, on the smaller suitcase there is about a 5 inch slash in the back of my suitcase. I didn't notice this until I got to my Apartment because they delivered it straight there for us. This was last Friday when I noticed that my luggage was ruined. Since then I have been trying to get in contact with the Airline and everytime I call, eventually someone hangs up on me. So I have yet to figure out this problem, but will be calling every day until I get new luggage.
On top of my luggage, my digital camera broke yesterday. I bought my luggage and digital camera on the same day, they are about a month old and are already broken. :( I emailed best buy because I didn't know how to call internationally and got a email today telling me they will reply by Monday with an International number for me to call. My camera is on Warranty so I can get it fixed I just don't want to wait until then because I will be traveling. I am going to ask for them to send a temp. camera for me to use while they fix my current one. I have no clue whats wrong with it, it just stopped working. The lens is stuck out, even though my camera is off. Then when I try to turn my camera on the screen just flashes on and off. I thought maybe it was something with the battery but I charged it all last night and it still isn't working. I will keep you all updated on these, but don't expect any new pictures soon. :(
Now onto my story (which relates to the caption of this blog). Last night we decided to go out to Surfers again (which is where all the bars & pubs are) since our last time going out was not such a great time lol. It was Sean (my roommate), Caraline (who is from Canada), Kat( who is from Australia), Beth (Rhode Island), and me! Caraline, Kat and Beth are all roommates which is how I met Kat and Caroline. Anyways, we started to get ready around 9 and our cab got here around 10:30 or so. When we got to surfers we went to a bar called shooters. Everyone was saying it was such a bad club, but when I got in there I really enjoyed it! There were a lot of chairs to sit in, and a pretty good sized dance floor.There were strobe likes all over the dance floor and a live DJ as well.
Dancing here is completely different then at home though. Australians dance SO funny and they don't even care. Even the DJ was dancing like that, it made me laugh. They basically look like they are hoping around in circles, throwing their hands every which way.
After shooters we went to Cocktails & Dreams, which was completely packed! Kats boyfriend works as a bartender there so he gave everyone in our group free drinks for the night, but I think each person only had one drink. We were only at cocktails and dreams for about 30 minutes before we left because we could hardly move in the place.
By that time we had been out for about two hours and all of the girls were ready to get home because our feet were killing us from wearing heals all night. However, on our way to get a taxi we made a pit stop in Hollywood. All I was told by Kat was that it was free coverage for girls and so we all decided to go there. Well what Kat didn't tell us (even though she knew) was that it was a strip club haha!Kat wanted to go there because she had only seen one strip club and was curious what others looked like. My first experience at a Strip Club was in Australia. However I was actually really surprised! The club was really nice and they stage where the girls danced was nice as well. I am pretty sure some of the dancers were drunk, but whatever lol. On the other hand I was very surprised by some of the things the girls can do on a pole...takes strength haha.
After leaving Hollywood we then went to get a cab. We got one fairly easy and on our way home the guy tells us he has to stop for gas. Well he drove through 2 gas stations, but neither had the type of gas that he needed. So he decided to make a stretch for it and drive us home. Well Australia has a LOT of hills, so going up was hard, while going down was easy. On the first hill we didn't think the van would make it at all, then to our surprise he did. We then coasted down the hill, and there was a red light at the bottom of the next hill. Well our taxi driver decided not to stop for a red light so he could keep his momentum to get up the hill. Halfway up the hill the car runs out of gas. We tell him we will push the Van, even in hills if we can get our cab ride free (lol you have to work the system on way or another!!), but he decides to keep trying to go up the hill.
TO our surprise he makes it up the next few hills, and coasts down them and completely ran out of gas right outside of our apartment. I swear every time we take a taxi we will have some sort of story!!!! On the bright side he didn't charge us the entire amount, only half which came out to like 3 dollars each.
We got home at about 3 in the morning and all completely crashed out.
Then to my surprise this morning the boys cleaned the dishes! They weren't in the sink but we decided we were going to clean the ones they gave us before using them so that we could make sure they were clean. When I woke up this morning the dishwasher was already running, so yay!
Love you & Miss you all!
