Back from Aussie

FINALLY IM BACK and get to use the internet again. Gosh do you know how much does it cost to use the internet there? I'm not saying use their computers for the internet. I'M SAYING USING YOUR OWN NOTEBOOK TO CONNECT TO THEIR WI-FI! IT COST! look at the bill in a Brisbane apartment, remember, wi-fi not using their coms. 

you crazy?

The only place where I finally got to use the wi-fi for free is in Melbourne airport right before we took the plane home.

Okay anyway, that's not the whole point of this post. I wanna talk bout my trip but I don't wanna go into everything I did detailed as I'm gonna use 1 day to write bout it and its gonna be 23 thousand words long. Therefore I'm gonna break it into a few parts. So here it is

First of all, 

Theme Park

Australia don't have the best theme parks around, but they have the best rides in the world according to the reviews. I told myself before going there. "I just want thrill-rides since there's none in Malaysia XD" 

I tried them all. I've to say, THEY"RE FREAKING AWESOME!

And here are the rides I went on. (sorry I don't have much photos of it as the camera man-my dad wasn't there when I was going on those rides.)

Superman Escape

Becareful if you're going on this ride. It's not like other roller coaster which climbs up the slope slowly and falls. This one's the fastest one I've ever ride. When it starts, it straight away go up that slope to 100km/h in just 2 sec... insanely fast.

Rating 9/10

Lethal Weapon

This was actually my first thrill-ride in Australia. I love it. All the speed and spinning, everyone couldn't walk properly after that XD

Rating 9.5/10

The Claw

This one's basically swinging you like a pendulum up to the air and spinning you at the same time. Love it

Rating 9/10

Mick Doohan's Motocoaster

(I don't have any pics for this one so I'll just take it from the net la kay)

Out of all the rides this one's my least favorite. There's actually nothing. You're just going around fluid tracks and curved corners. I've no idea why would they call it thrill. But at least its something different, you sit on a motorbike instead. If you really wanna get the most out of it, I recommend sitting in front. Takes a hell long time to queue up tho.

Rating 6/10 

Tower Of Terror 

This one is awesome. It is one of the fastest rides in the world. It speeds you like mad from the beginning up to about 35 stories and you drop backwards vertically. Very very fast ride.

Rating 10/10

Wipeout

(no pics for this one, again token from the net)

haha, thinking bout it. I'm starting to laugh again. I really had fun on this one. Idk what to say its just so fun being spin around a thousand times. After the ride, everyone was like "We have to line up for this one again" Sadly, I didn't have time to go for the second one. I was rushing to go for the others XP. Time's running out!

Rating 10/10

Cyclone

Okay this was actually my last ride. One of the tallest in the southern hemisphere. Two 360 loops like the one in Genting "Corkscrew". Except this is much much faster and taller.

Rating 9/10

FINALLY! 

The One Ride That You Must Take When You Go To Australia.

It's the tallest ride in the world according to Guiness.

Standing 126 metres.

38 stories high

And it drops you at 135 km/h

The Giant Drop

Spot me (token by my cousin)

This one's the best ride ever. It's more than 2 times higher than the one in Genting. Genting's one only stands 55 metres and the waiting's not that long. The suckiest part of this ride is not the fall after all. It's the waiting..... After you've been lifted up to 120 metres high, they'll let you wait there for over half a minute! (I've counted XD) and since the Tower of Terror share the same structure as this one. Yes the tower vibrates alot.

Rating 15/10

Alright I'm gonna have to move on. So here are few of the best rides there. And if any of you're going there one day. You've gotta get on those rides (well, except for the Motocoaster) you've just seen or you'll regret =P. Australia's rides are the best. I'm already starting to miss them.

Second

The Food

I wanna talk more bout their chinese food. That's right, I went to Aussie to eat chinese food. And since my family and my cousin's family don't really fancy western meals, we had at least a meal of chinese food everyday. Where do you find it? CHINATOWN! well, obviously we don't visit chinatown every day, only the first day. If so, it'll be a complete waste of money.

Chinatown Pictures

Other Chinese restaurants

You'll be surprised. 3 words, IT TASTE GREAT! yup! 3x better than the chinese food in Malaysia. Don't know why? Simple. People who cooks chinese food there are from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. So means? Original la kan? 

What about people who cooks chinese food here? Yup, you got it =)... Bangladesh and Indonesia. Well, how does their food taste like? Cinadesh and Indocina-ish. Secondly, the quantity is so much more. We'll that's kinda expected isn't it. 

Here's a plate of chicken rice

Burgers and fries

Okay, and if you ask are there any Malaysian food there? take a look at these menu =) 

oh and before I stop talking about food

I want you to see something 

Didn't see that?

$4.95 for a rice of bowl

$4.95!

$4.95 x 2.36 = 11.7 ringgit!!!!

11 ringgit and 70 cents for a bowl of white rice.

I'm speechless

Thirdly

Da Cribs

Goodness I can't tell you how much I hate to stay in the places where my dad booked. Well the one in Brisbane was okay. The ones we stay when we fly to Melbourne was just suckish. 

The one in Brisbane was just very quiet although it looks like a town.

Have you ever watched those movie, like 30 Days of Night, 28 weeks later, Dawn of The Dead, Land of the Dead or wtv movie that everyone is dead or a monster. The town is just like what you see in the movies. The only difference is that there's a 7/11 up ahead where in the movies  there is none =P Well its just weird. When I look down from the apartment I promise you it's so hard to spot a single person or car. As a matter of fact there's none. Everyone slept so early there. 

Unknown underwear spotted under my bed

I stayed in 2 places in Melbourne. A resort that is in a rural area located 200 km away from Melbourne town and a very old house not too far away from Melbourne town. First of all, I've no idea why would my dad book a place that is 200km away from Melbourne town. Okay the scenery is fascinating, the resort is nice. But still, its 200km! away from Melbourne and its so quite. More suitable for retired people XD In fact the best thing to do there is to watch television. 

And this is where I lived.

And when I lived closer to town. It was okay. BUT! my dad insisted on bringing me out! We were so near town and yet we stayed at home 60% of the time. GOSH! This time tv had only 6 channels. But hey! I did not go there just to watch television... anyway, I don't wanna talk so much about it. The house's really old, here's some picture of it.

By looking at the switch, you can tell how old is it.

Backyard

There's even a toilet at the back of the house.

I just don't like these places where I stayed (except Brisbane) I'll never, EVER EVER EVER! stay in those places anymore! Even blogging about it makes me pissed XD

Fourth

iCar Spotted in Brisbane XD

Fifth

PENALTY

Dad

Me

Cop

Yang, put your safety belt police at the back

Where got? I don't see any

Got la, it's at the back just put your safety belt

*straps on safety belt

*Cop speeds up

*Slows down his car to the side

Why you slow down?

The cop flashing his light already la...

Both car stops, both my dad and the cop came out of the car

How you doing?

Good

Can I see some driving license please

*Gives him

Sir, you've crossed the speed limit

Really? I didn't notice that

Yeap, you're driving 80Kmh on a 60Kmh road

Oh sorry, I really didn't notice that

Yeap and that's a 275 dollars fine for speeding

*Snaps pic quietly XD (I know I'm bad)

Sixth

Landslide

This one really woke me up

Okay one day we were traveling up the mountain roads when we saw some tiny rocks were falling (according to my cousin, I wasn't looking at the road) and we didn't really take that in mind. About 200 meters later we came to a dead end. Well it wasn't really a dead end, the road ahead was all covered with mist and so we decided to turn back. And here's what we saw

It was kinda frightening tho as it happened all of sudden. Luckily we get to move all the tree branches aside and drive away. I'll never forget that.

Seventh

alright I'm kinda getting lazy to write anything more now. I'll just put this one as...

Miscellaneous 

Okay I like this one. We paid for the parking and went for lunch. When we came back to check how much time we had left, someone had sticked sumthin on it

Rent a trolley for $4, thats about RM9.50. And guess wad, its the same at all airports we went

Weird name? Its really famous there...

Never seen one in my life though. A wand cost $60 and above

Ok this is weird, diesel are more expensive than unleaded petrol

No mirrors, shiny metal plate instead

FINALLY

I've gotta say this trip was kinda weird and bored. Since we went there on our own. We don't have someone to bring us around and all we rely on is the schedule that we made back home, GPS and a map. We don't even follow it sometimes tho XP. Anyway, I'll stop here
