Well after 6 months of running around our friend of 14 years has arrived in Australia for 2 week break with us. The excitement on his face as this was his first visit out of his country when he saw us was worth the hassle it went to get him here.
We have just spent 4 days up in Manly showing him Sydney and the Nth Beaches were we grew up now back home on the south coast.
wow can this guy eat chilli - lol
we gave up a trip this year to Bali (well one trip) to get him over here.
So far he has been over the bridge through the rocks in the Opera house from north head to palm beach light house and some of the bits in between. Then today a 3 .5 hr drive back to our house on the south coast has his mouth closed yet in astonishment i don't think so.
We have kangaroo's in our town and he wants to try some so i told him i would catch one and cook it up haha butcher can supply that.
anyway getting him here many trips for him to embassy getting passport, booking flight visa explaining to the Aust Government we can afford $30 a day to keep him here, bank statement references etc day finally arrives for him to go to airport, then the questions start via text i only have print out of ticket will they let me on plane, how will i know which flight to get on where do i sit on plane.. all good he texts later no problem i am ready to get on plane.
6.30am at airport plane an hour late plane arrives and we wait and wait 1.5 hrs pass no Argus, has he been detained will he be on boarder patrol then he walks out head down so many people looking, he spots us smiles and it was worth everything we all have done.
so many questions all funny to us, we not so many bikes lots of Chinese people here beer is not as strong as Bintang haha 4 middies later he is walking like me after 20.. we had Thai people food the first night no we didn't eat them just their food mmm ok but not very hot my head is sweating from my eyes to my ears but he wants more chilli, breakfast eggs etc and then half a tube of fresh chilli from woolies on it.
Any way we are all having a great time might let you know what else we get up to if this hasn't bored the hell out of you so far.
A new spin on HRN from the other side
