After having said goodbye to beautiful New Zealand we found ourselves in Australia once again. We spent 3 and a half day in Brisbane. Hospitable Nikki picked us up from the airport and we spent 2 days at her place. She took us to an amazing cheese factory and we had a good time there.
On Friday the 8th we met my old friend Julian. It was so great seeing him again! He has a flat with nice views of the city. Since we wanted to spend as much time with him as possible, we decided to stay with him for the last night (Sat the 9th). We had a great time! Julian was playing the piano and the guitar for us constantly. It felt like being in a musical. Seriously! Julian’s nice friend Craig was also there.
Inspired by the Ylvisaaker brothers (Norwegian guys), we decided to make some prank phone calls to the states. Julian was playing the piano and singing while trying to ordering rooms. It was so funny! Unfortunately, most people hung up, but there were a few that didn’t ;)
It was very sad to leave on Sunday, but at the same time we knew that Asian food was calling for us.
At the moment we are in Singapore. We are spending 6 days here because we want to get Visas for China. Man it really was a hassle trying to organise that! Matt had checked out the information in regards to getting the visa. When we got to the office (after an hour of looking for it), they told us they needed the immigration papers for Singapore, and our itinerary! So we had to go back to our hostel and get it. Why don’t they put that information online??? When we got back we had to fill out the forms we had printed out from the internet again. It turned out that the version we printed out was outdated. We get to pick up our passports again with the visa on Thursday. However, I am starting to feel nervous about that! China keep cancelling all these meeting because of the Nobel peace price issue. We all know how important I am, so will they let me in? I guess I shouldn’t joke about that online. You never know. But seriously though, I really hope it all works out!
Singapore is very hot. We have been walking around a lot. We saw Little India and Chinatown yesterday.
The hawker markets are amazing! The food is really cheap and OH SO GOOD! Matt was very excited about getting bubble tea again. I was not so excited about drinking rubbish coffee. Is it time for me to give up my addiction?
It is raining at the moment. We are going to the zoo today. Hopefully we’ll see the white tiger.
By the way, we only have less than 3 months left of travelling now. Christmas will come before we know it, and then we’ll be home. Luckily we get to eat loads of noodles before that happen.
Enjoy the fall guys! At least you don’t need to worry about aircon.
