Brisbane's not so lonely 'mountain'

---

G'day everyone!

After my very pleasant mid-term trip to South Korea (I'll give you a follow up on that separately) I got back to Brisbane last week. Although it is a lot cooler now during the nights its definitely hot compared to Seoul. Highlight of the week was a cycling trip to Mount Cootha - together with my German friend and our Chinese buddies we cycled to the foot of the hill (it does not fit the bavarian definition of a mountain) and hiked up pushing our bikes. What a lovely view on Brisbane you get there - if you're lucky enough to catch a clear day.

Keeping up our spirit for sports, my friend and I decided to show-off our rookie-tennis skills - was great fun. Saturday night we went to see the local Brisbane Roar soccer team play against Melbourne Victory. We had great fun drinking some beers, but the game was a bit

After the game we enjoyed some live music in Lefty's Old Time Music Hall - the interior wooden decorations and the blues music really produced a nice vibe.

The end of a long quest
I found it! Quark!!! It was a real bargain with only a bit over 7$ for 375g O.o

Suncorp Stadium
Brisbane Roar vs Melbourne Victory - missed the decisive penalty to Victory because we left early for the half-time...all in all the match was a let down - maybe I'll go for Australian football next time.
