Why I love Brisbane
+ The sun is always shining (apart from when the summer storms blow in 90kmph winds;P)
+ You get random acts of kindness: it was raining yesterday afternoon and I was standing at the traffic lights. A lady came running (yes running) up to share her umbrella with me… so nice!
+ Romantic Brisbane: you know when you see movies and there is that thick tropical mist surrounding luscious green mountains and dramatic titanic music playing in the background? Well, that’s where I’m living. I was going home on the bus the other day, it had been raining all afternoon and Mt Coo-tha was shrouded in this thick mist and evening sunshine. Near enough to bring a tear to your eye.
+ My Shaz: my sis is here and you know the old saying “home is where the heart is” well I’ve missed her more then anything this year, and I’m loving being home.
+ Sunday morning pancakes: on my first day here we couldn’t decide between pancakes and bacon, so we had them both and it’s a wee tradition. Mix that with lovely morning sun on the outside deck and amazing coffee and it’s pretty close to heaven!
+ Sunshine: for some reason I’m happier then I’ve been all year and the only thing I can put it down to is the sunshine and LOTS of it! People keep bitching and moaning about the heat, but sunning my tummy has always made me happy (see carebear below).
+ 30 degree heat: I miss Singapore so much, but more then anything I missed being warm ALL THE TIME! Goodbye chill blains!
+ Ibis: these birds are the most horrible shitting machines ever, but for some reason slightly endearing (when they crap on others that is).
+ Suncorp Piazza: free movies on the big screen at South Bank! My favourite Christmas favourites back-to-back in the coming weeks.
+ NZ Wine: our local dealer has a good stock of Montana. Anybody planning on visiting… you must pay the toll!
Whilst I do love living here, I really do miss my mateys back home in NZ=(
