Here I am in the capital of Queensland. The last city on earth that I was missing Australian: therefore, at least for Australia ;-) you can finally breathe a sigh of relief because you will not see the post title that has marked my visits to the capitals of the state of the Federation of Australia. say that the trip did not start with good wishes as your heroes had occupied in the whole row of the plane 17!:-S Here you can see our state of mind before boarding the plane
Daniel Wilson holds a master (who has seen Cast Away with Tom Hanks can understand ;-)
However, apart from a landing on one wheel from the driver of the Virgin (the evvai! :-) trip went smoothly as oil. Then the gain of an hour (if you remember in a previous post of Queensland, unlike New South Wales, does not adopt daylight saving time while being on the same time ...) has enabled us to arrive at the hostel in peace, eat a carbonara wanted "democratically" by Alice and begin our tour of the city.
My assumptions about Brisbane have come true: certainly better than Canberra (it does not take much ;-) but not much.
Its CBD with the usual skyscrapers that characterize the major Australian state capitals appears to be even uglier Surfer Paradise (see later!). Even the Royal Botanic garden were not much of a girlfriend
centinnial I think the park is better than Sydney!
The only thing I liked was the avenue that runs along the river in that part of town called Southbank
Although this artificial beach complete with lifeguards (you realize ?) made me laugh more than arouse interest palpable ..
The sea had to be really deep if people played Frisbee in the middle, as well as others who were walking in the middle ;-)
To understand how unlucky Brisbane, look at the difference between here and the Maritime Museum in Sydney:
Brisbane
This is to Sydney ... Do you ;-)
Since a day and a half I think (in my opinion) enough to visit this city we did not wait long to leave it without regret, not without first having rented yet another car that will characterize my journey
This time of the agreement 'We nicknamed "Golloso" but do not ask why because it is a story too long ;-)
and spending the last day in the company of Guillaume and Xevi that they too have left Sydney for the joy of Daniel =), in search of farm work (would like to do the cowboys!:-D) in these parts.
It starts! First stop Coolangatta .. is the landscape that makes this nice little town ..
Maybe I'm wrong pictures ... =) Try these.
From tower blocks are not too high for the time you feel that here the atmosphere is a tourist zinzinello mainly based on the most popular sport by Australians: the SURF! fact in this same weekend there will be a step in the Quicksilver Pro world tour that will see (perhaps because I'm not sure) the participation of the greatest surfer of all time, that is, Kelly Slater.
course to many this sport and this name will not tell you anything (even up to me before arriving in Australia), but take a trip on youtube and you'll see .. But the morning in Coolangatta was nice because here I have found the mythical Natski
What is surfing for nearly two months between Byron Bay and here at least for the next month and has not the slightest intention to find a job .. A myth !=))) If Coolangatta was the starter, Surfers Paradise, the second leg of my trip, could be the main course. Why? Look at the pictures and you'll see ..
Flats that are not even in Brisbane (as above) and from what little I saw on TV, do not look bad at all compared to Miami (although the number is much smaller ..)
This clash between man's ability to build things like the sea and not pleases me so much, especially when you're in the sun and disappears at some point because you come to find in the shadow of those 50-story behemoths ..
However we see that here the atmosphere is different than other places that we encountered (see the presence of a Hard Rock Cafe which I think is the only Southern Hemisphere or the theft of the portfolio that poor Danilo has been the same!)
Anyway a stroll downtown and an afternoon in the sun, were enough to leave this city without regret .. You should know that my mental approach to visiting the east coast, for being so crowded and travel does not that much is positive. I hope that third factors (better "third" ;-) to help me change my mind! To find you again in the next episodes!
The nest is a system, and entire unit consists of one share in relation to each other, that the whole is different from the sum of the parts and any change in any of these parts affect the whole system. Context and individual dynamics is co-determine each other. By the law of the whole system is formed from the reciprocal of its parts, for both individuals influence the system, as well as its impact upon the individuals themselves. Any change in one part of the system necessarily produces a change in the other parts and the larger system, the change also takes on different meanings, depending on different contexts reference. This is why the teachers in my nest rotate in three sections and the children are free to choose the context in which to spend the morning. Create
autonomy means providing a system of multiple references, different choices; tie the children to a single point of reference, in fact, could be addictive. Different educational styles enrich the child, separate reports trigger for change, trade in energy, materials, people and information with the external environment constitute essential to child development.
The environment is subject to constant change, but still tends to maintain a good level of homeostasis, in fact offered redundancy situations, with more possible solutions and predictable, the effectiveness of the organization, does not depend on its structure and its components (allocation of roles within the system), but depends on the level of coherence. The organization therefore is effective to the extent that the various elements of the system are interdependent and consistent.
happy or sad I came to the end of this second experience Sydneyana that kept me in this city for over 3 months. Of course I'm happy
to finally stop working and I'm going on vacation back to "explore" that part of Australia that I still miss the east coast, but also sad because Sydney over the past 3 months has not meant nothing but work, but ... I
had a lot of positive experiences with all the people I met here, and the hostel has created a beautiful environment that is not much that could be the basis for a series of "activity" based on pure logic "Cazzaro" .
I'd have things to tell but they are so many that not enough for me an entire blog.
The only thing I know, but I already knew, is that a site can also be beautiful but its people are safe and the friendships that you meet there to make a wonderful place even if it is not! (See for example the GAB ;-)
About GAB: Since I can not stay out of trouble or they can not stay away from me (you do!), The latest coming out of my At this point former home, is that I was expelled from the hostel!:-D
Yes you read right: kicked out from the hostel, as I was affectionately known as the fat man (Peter hostel boss ed)
What has never done wrong your hero.
Well let's say I've never gotten along (But if you find me a person who went in and deems cute quell'ostello, I offer a special lunch at the Thai power!:-D), but let's say I put on my own, especially since hired another fat guy named Michael who is so fat that the heart can not pump the blood through his body ..
fact the first time I saw him, saw that it was just 2 steps was just panting and sweating as if he had made the New York marathon, we thought we would die at any moment.
Considering our "punishment" against him (ps No I have anything against fat people with whom I also saw the bacon, but if the status of these people is not very sympathetic towards me start to use cute nicknames!:-D), we have made in order to satisfy his demands (being night manager must enforce the order after 10:30 and then is that in the inner courtyard there is none).
But his "Stakhanovism" (as he was a lookout!) Led us to change our attitude towards him.
And the climax was when we were out the door of the hostel to make the usual casino night.
At that moment we had all the legitimacy to be there as we were out of the hostel .. But instead he
thought to be a bother there too!
To which I have not seen more, and I responded by saying that we pay $ 150 a week and as nn could be in the yard, we had every right to stay at least out of the hostel (although it was the entrance) to make our "comfortable", adding other things "cute" as a side dish but which now can not remember the words!:-D
My comment to the united "howls" of Xavi (a English boy) and "putra" ( onomatopoeic sound of course devoid of any meaning and smash this summer to GAB!) Guillaume (a Frenchman) did the rest.
Day after bags and Sabatti out of the hostel. The seventeen
closed with lock (which was broken by three months, but now magic magic repaired in no time!) And I, along with 8 other people without a roof!
But this is nothing nn!
fact, when I went to another hostel to book the room, I started chatting with the boss of it as a bit 'and I knew him since he knew that I was at the GAB. Generally speaking I have also reportedly not in clear terms, of course, my dislike of Peter.
know what happened? "The same evening they told me that this guy was talking all the evening with Peter, because they are friends, and my reservation was canceled due to "incorrect" statement of credit card and since there were no vacant beds (I think to myself), I found the next day to find a new hostel.
practice was becoming the Ned Kelly (bushranger known - the Australian version of banditos in the far west) to Kings Cross!:-D
So I joined the others displaced in the new hostel and we settled!:-D
is displaced: The commander Marcos with the rest of the troops!
Now seventeen became a 705 (I know it sounds good paragraphs, but remained at least 7!:-D)
The preparation of revenge could not leave.
mission "Peter is a wanker" was about to begin ...
The idea was to enter the hostel and do the most damage possible: I was employed, for example, flooding the kitchen, the other to leave other nice souvenirs as eggs on the walls or something.
Photo rite for them ... (the one who works at the Pirelli was not at all sgamabile ...=))
The final preparations for battle ...
The team was ready ...
But of course the operation was over and a putt *** taralucci and wine! (Prevedibilissimo!)
since that night one of us sgam receptionist as strangely had to work late (never seen such a thing, and we could not even say that if I could wait because it was passed more than a week!)
Oh well the utter disorganization could only lead to a predictable failure of mission ..
Anyway in the new hostel not miss the fun and tradition of beer trip, I started to dispose of the 3200 free drink that I have accumulated in recent months in Australia, is continuing.
Virtually every Tuesday we go around in places where we have the ticket to taste 1 0 2 beers a free ride!:-D
The evening ends with the GAFF where you have 2 $ 5 beers, a meal and this
evening coyote ugly!
I leave you any comment ;-)
That night I also saw Mullah Omar in the disco ..
I could not pass up the opportunity to make me a picture with him in person!:-P
Before leaving Sydney, I could not visit the tower overlooking the city.
Indeed the visit was planned a month ago but as an army of Chinese visiting that night has delayed the ascent as I see it in an hour that I could give a chance to see the view during the day, the sunset and the evening, we have postponed until next week.
But due to incessant rain, we had the chance to go only after 3 weeks ..
Do you realize? Serving those fuckin asian cabbage!:-D
But it was worth it
enter or leave the Harbour. Featured Point Piper, Ruschuttes Bay, Double Bay, Rose Bay and Watson Bay is the cape.
My area: the mythical suburb of Kungs Cross
Even if I did get a sense of melancholy as I could see Sydney from the air only when I got to travel around Australia and I have crossed my mind that I shall see for the last time when I'll take the flight take me back in Italy .. :-(
good or bad luck, I am still missing two months, so do not want to think about!
Another event worthy of note is that Thibault after 12 months of life spent in Sydney and precision # 3 of the GAB in the room, he finally decided to leave to New Caledonia since he has relatives there.
course we missed his farewell party (of course since the world bar worked there!:-P)
and we even greeted at the airport with a lot of t-shirt with a dedication!
I will miss the first Frenchman known in Australia with the sets of arms and all he can to deal with wars or armies!:-D
I can not conclude this post without talking about my work. Well not
I could find no better place: easy job especially in the evenings although heavy flooding, but full of guys like me and from every corner of the earth (I was the only Italian in the middle of Australia, three British, one South African, an American, a Polish, one French, one Czech, three Brazilians, two of Myanmar, a Koreano, Thay and a lot of Indians and Chinese to act as a side dish).
boss Tony
Dan
manager and chief human resources ". And 'that I supplied him with beer while making pizza!:-D
Elias, friendly Brazilian Driver ... Our arguments were only two: football and tope! .- D
Vicky and her boyfriend who worked for us ( do not ask me Cause I remember the name!)
Vicky I'll always remember his shrill little voice ..
Will, one of two brothers from Myanmar ..
It 's the fastest pizza maker in history .. A pizza making machine!
The crazy Polish name Ralph, improbable skater with the bad habit of drinking gallons of Coke at work and untold quantities of alcohol during the rest of the day .. A great!
The great Kohn, the thay that did it remain until the last minute to give me a ride to Kings Cross, because we lived in the same neighborhood ..
Zac who worked at the shop in Potts Point (in front of the GAB. That's nice when I was working there: I had only attreversare the road and I was already working !;-).
I never knew if he was gay! ;-)
The beautiful as stupid (besides being out of tune like a bell) Rebecca, Brazil.
If one does not know the reason why many are in Australia, well in addition to the places you visit, the appropriate response is that one of the few places on earth where you can experience this type of experience find you and to talk quietly with one of Myanmar (if you ask around where is Myanmar, many would answer only because they found playing the geo-challenge on FB ;-) like you're talking to your friend d 'childhood, without there being the distance of culture that inevitably exist!
why I love this country even more!
I was so attached to this place yesterday on the bus back from Bondi I was up a bit 'nostalgic thinking that after 3 months, I was greeted that the local welcomed me for 3 months and the beach (not across Australia's best!) for one last time.
Feeling that I have lived in Margaret River but I live all the time when I leave the places dear to me.
not live by this negative thing, indeed, is part of the normal flow of life, however, give me a bit ' of healthy sentiment in this archive of crap ...
Well I can only refer you to the next post tomorrow because I have a plane to Brisbane (the only city that I was missing in my repertoire Australia) Company V (Valerio ed), D (Dreamcatcher, namely Danilo) and Alice's new entry for a variety of circumstances, fate would have it, you bumped into me and that good masochist decided to join the trip with us.
Behind there is a long history of which nn I want to talk, but I think that apart from this trip can help him leave behind what has happened, then welcome and ...
I suggest a supply of aspirin, a mask to sleep not to see the shit that we will do 3 and above ear plugs to not hear!:-D
Chen chun sa tte! (Myanmarese that means "I finished the cheese!":-D)
