Everyone of us house mates was fervent for the dinner this evening. More and more I appreciate the foreign dishes my house mates cook each day.... I can even stand the spiciness much better now, and I even learnt to eat with hands and chopsticks, Cool!. Look at this meal, just fabulous...we should do this every once a week!!!... read more

Oceania » Australia » Queensland » Toowoomba December 24th 2007

On 24th of December, I undertook an enjoyable bicycle ride to the Norville pub at the CBD for meeting the local couchsurfers (www.couchsurfing.com) there; they have a very nice beer garden there. Afterwards we went to the adjacent pub for another couple of pints and some potato wedges; at 11:15 pm I wanted to attend (roman-catholic) St Pattrick's Christmas carols, but couldn't find the church, as I probably was a little bit drunk... As a consequence I had to content myself with the half-over mass at (Anglican) St. Luke instead, and met organist Mr. Greeding there again afterwards; after some heavy uphill bicycling back home to our house, I immediately fell asleep. Just a peaceful X-mas! ... read more

Arabs wear this type of gown only for traditional festivities. Pretty costly it is! Approximately AUS$1000, Riyan told us. Later on I also had the chance to see Arka's traditional gown (sarih) and, furthermore, special knives/swords they only wear on special festivities.... read more

Unfortunately this time only Robert was there, along with Steve and Max and Zame, but I had two more opportunities later on to get some insights in temple life there, and Buddhist monk's philosophy.... read more

Oceania » Australia » Queensland » Stanthorpe December 11th 2007

Leaving Toowoomba early in the morning southwards, we first reached Warwick city, where we stopped for taking photos of the beautiful church there; we also recognized that there are also ALDI supermarkets in Australia, and we encountered a pretty stylish car at the gas station (that was filled up with gas through its number plate... crazy); after leaving Warwick, the New-England highway looked like never ending on the horizon... for many kilometres there was no bend or curve in the highway, and signs next to the road signalled to make rests: "arrive alive", "survive your drive", or "rest or R.I.P"; when we passed Stanthorpe, after some few kilometres we reached Girraween national-park on some hot and sunny forenoon; no rangers were there for further information, so we decided to put some sunscreen on , and to ... read more
