The next trip on my list was the city of Brisbane. Lucky for me there is an old family friend who lives in Brisbane, Dianne. When I first learned that I would be studying in Australia Dianne was the first person my mom called to tell. My mom was my age the last time she saw Dianne, and was also in Dianne’s wedding. This meant a lot to my mom for me to spend some time with her while I was in Australia, so the past weekend I went to Dianne’s house to stay. I was only able to spend one night there because I had been working on a huge advertising assignment, and did not have a lot of free time to spare.
The first day I was there I was very tired because I had not been sleeping the past few nights due to my assignment. She made a typical Australian dinner that consisted of sausage rolls, mashed potatoes and pumpkin. After dinner we watch Crocodile Dundee. I had heard about the movie before I came to Australia, but I am glad that I was able to watch it after I had been her a while. I recon I was able to understand the jokes more because I know so much about the Australian culture now. After the movie I went straight to bed.
The next morning I was woken up bright and early for a day in the city. Dianne took me to all the major places in the city. There was not as much to do because it is not a very big city, but enough to fill a morning and afternoon up. We took a boat cruise along the river followed by a ride on the ferris wheel. At the top, you were able to see the whole city. Then, we went shopping in the markets and ate lunch. After that she took me to the train station to send me back on my way to Bond University.
