First 31 hours I have spent out of home haven't been bad at all, taking into account the number of stopovers. Appart from an unexpected happen, solved on the way to the aeroplane, and a stopover at Singapor airport, I was able to know more lavatories in a few hours than in 28 years. I have been sleeping 5 extra hours yesterday and three more today, after walking around Brisbane river. Along my walk (for 6 hours) I found different animals. I drop you some postcards from
Brisbane with all my love. Here you can see crows and doves, but also iguanas and wildlife, such as you can see in the photographies. It´s not time for comments because currently all is being anecdotic. For example, the taxi driver who brought me from the airport to the backpacker since where i am writing now this post. I am sure I helped him more than me. His GPS didnt know the street where we were going to, I had to look up a map I got at the airport to find the street and then he checked it at Yellow Pages. “Do you know if my neigbourhood is dangerous?” “All Australia is dangerous. In your suburb you´ll find people are drunk, a lot of pubs, streaptease…”. (Bad life you would be here, dear Sepu).

I was quieter since I left the cab (australian taxi), after paying 45 australian dollars and take out my suitcases by myself. Without saying goodbye, ¿true my appreciated taxi driver? Remember it.
My family didnt trust arab airline, and after all, it has been my best experience. A box of presents: blanket, toothbrush, toothpaste, food each 5 hours, and drink each 2 hours. Moreover, every passenger has a personal screen to watch movies, serials, play... Never ever I have eaten so much for being on a seat.
Answering a repetitive question what most of you make me, I will tell you Australia has been since its birth a country of inmigrants, with a strong presence of asian continent. If you are asking me how about australian women?, I will answer you, dude, ¿do you like asian fellows?
Life conceived to live it and not to work, that's a big life to enjoy it. I thought in Cultural Center while i saw the big wheel spinning on its axis. Cultural Center (Brisbane) is near to Bus Central Station and beside Brisbane River. A place full of life. To be sincere, the best place I have visited in Brisbane for the moment. Its quite and at the same time its crowded of people. How can I explain this contradiction then? This contradiction is in armony with this area, where you can have a bath in South Bank Beach, walk along the row of restaurants, take away and coffe shop, to cook (banned to drink alcohol) free on the electric BBQ (barbies are called in this city), available for the public. Later on I will write about slang in Brissie, colloquial name for Brisbane. This place is ideal to spend a nice day with friends, family or for romantic dates. You will find the Concert Hall and the Piazza, a center of performance where young people learn choreographies. If you arrived at here you will be able to listen to the music from a female artist who plays splendid double bass. Almost a dream, with a difference, I never cry in dreams. As if that wasn't enough along september Brisbane Festival celebrated one more edition: theatre, music, dance and opera from Australia. According to the Premier of Queensland, Campbell Newman, it has involved an annual investment of $5.22 millions. This edition closed tonight with a magnific explosion of coloured fireworks. Sunsuper Riverfire says goodbye until next year but I am sure its a good way to start a new life here. I am feeling privileged living here. Good luck.
