Brisbane Trip

Just came back from a short trip to Brisbane to attend a friend's wedding. Was a fun trip with good company and good food. Made a few observations about Brisbane from this trip:

• They love their teams (Broncos, Cowboys, QLD Reds and of course the Maroons).
• They love rugby. On Saturday night was the rugby union test between the Wallabies and Wales. It seemed like an unusually busy night in the CBD, turned out most of them came out for the rugby. You won't see that happening in Sydney.
• More Asians than I expected. The ones I met at Andrew's wedding are heaps ocker (got mad Aussie accents).
  
• Nice, wide roads. Less cars. No traffic jams. Friendlier drivers. Less hoons. 我喜欢!
• Didn't seem like there was much to do in the CBD (Queen St mall, etc). We got bored after about 1 hour (probably because I'm a arrogant Sydneysider).

Congrats Andrew and Karen! Was great to catch up with you guys at the wedding.

Some nice scenery shots:











On the last day we were there (today - Sunday) saw this on the road....couldn't resist taking some photos with Susie's camera.











Thought to myself...that's where all the Ferraris in Australia are. Mind you, this was just a road in Brisbane (similar to Norton St in Sydney). There were alot more Ferraris - yellow ones, black ones, retro ones and just a whole stack of red ones (I just call them ones because I don't know the model names).

Ah well, back to the daily grind of work tomorrow!! Yay for the long weekend....the Queen is useful for Australia in that way!
