The Gold Coast

 Hello!

I arrived in Brisbane, Australia, on May 4th after a long plane filled journey from Canada. Once I got here Chelsea and Gordon met me at the airport. That night we left for the Gold Coast, which is also called "Brissvegas" and there we stayed at very nice five star hotel, with a amazing view of the ocean. That night we went to a really good Thai place at the hotel. The next day we got up bright and early for Gordon's triathlon, which was fine because I was awake anyway because I was still getting use to the time difference. At the triathlon I got to meet a bunch of people that Chelsea and Gordon work with. Later that day we went to the beach and I played in the waves for the first time! It was a beautiful white sand beach and it was nice and warm. The next day we went to a street market that was also really close to the beach. Later that day we headed back to Brisbane.

It’s weird getting use to some of the customs that they have here. For instance, when I ask where the bathroom or washroom is, I sometimes get weird looks because they say toilet.
