I had an incredible two weeks reaquainting myself with my home country, the Land Down Under. I didn't want to go home, and the return flight was nightmarish. It came complete with crappy food, heavy turbulence, and hallucinations. Oh well, I guess two weeks of severe substance abuse will do that to you. But I do hate flying, as a rule. To top that off, a customs agent in Canada (of all places) pulled me aside. He proceeded to search through every inch of my luggage, before taking me to a back room and threatening me with a strip-search. He thought I was a dope smuggler. I suppose that last joint at the airport must have given me a particular odor. Of course, I am not a smuggler, so I eventually convinced him to waive the clothing-removal procedure, and I was on my way. Sydney is one of, if not the most beautiful and interesting cities in the world. I had forgotten. I'm tempted to move back, but what would I do without NBA League Pass?
I would not be surprised if this thread was closed due to the thread title. Good to see you had a good time. Did you take pictures during your trip? What's up with all that drug abuse?
The term "drug abuse" is an exaggeration. I just had a good time during my stay, and a hangover on the plane. Yes I took pics, but I've been too jet lagged to scan them onto the computer yet. Anyway, photos don't do Australia justice. You have to be there.
ZRB...if you want to relive some of the glory that is Austrailia...my footy team his have a grand final party at the kangaroo and kiwi on aurora. fri 26th at 8:30. tickets are i think 12 at the door.
Sounds like you had a great trip. That's one place I've never been... there and New Zealand. Give us a "report" when you've decompressed. Glad you're back!
