Living on the Gold coast is just great. I like the fact that everyone I know here is bitching about the weather how cold its getting etc etc etc... I laugh at them everytime. Just 'cause you cant wear thongs(flipflops) 24hours a day doesnt mean it is cold. I am from the north, I know when it gets cold, really cold, and this isnt cold. Its chilly in the mornings but not cold. No way.
The weather here, I like.
Im like Main Beach more every day. I enjoy the relaxed atmosphere it has. Probably the most biggest reason for it is that Main Beach is an area for the rich. They have money and they dont have to worry about it. I dont fit in in that way, but then again I dont even try to. I made friends with the people in the cafe next door and we talk daily, as I go for coffee there daily. Same thing happens in the bar next door. People know each other and its easy to get to know people here.
I like.
I feel my english is getting better by the day as well. I dont
Dreamworld
Went to Dreamworld and rode all the rides that were worth the riding. In my opinion, Six flags Magic Mountain in LA is still the best amusement park. have those nasty breaks in my speech, that means its more fluent now. I feel better with it. This reflects at work in a positive way. I am much more open with people and guests. I think its quite funny that people hear an american accent in my speech, than ask me if Im Canadian, because I have this slight accent on it 😊 There are by the way a lot of Canadians here in Australia. Im also getting familiar with the routines at work now as well. It is coming natural to me , to do things in very complicated ways.
I got myself a bike and thats how I move around here now. Its so much easier and faster and cheaper than taking the bus or walking. I hate walking. Its such a slow way of moving from a place to place.
Ive made friends in the weirdest places here. I met Lisa, a melbournian, on a bus and Ive met her and her friends on a couple occasions. They are all Aussies and a lot of fun to hang out with. I met a mother, Nerada, who's son was my guide at Dreamworld, an amusement
Tiger island @ Dreamworld
The cubs were sooooooo cute! park, at a italian restaurant. Ive gone to movies with there family as well. This upcoming weekend Im going to the Boat show with them too.
There's a lot to do here. Always some events going on and stuff. I recommend Gold Coast to everyone who love to have fun.
Well, if it doesnt glow from the text above, Im really enjoying my time here. I could really imagine staying here for longer than I am going to. And Im so glad Carolina is coming in two weeks of time. Then I can share all of this with her.
Cheers.
