Rel, Mel, Jass, and myself from the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge (yes, Yan'an, there is such a thing other than the Opera house that people know about Sydney :P )The view from above was breathtaking. The jump suits were ridiculous, but the tour guide was refreshingly entertaining and worth every penny of the $170 i paid. The 3-plus hours we spent up there was tiring, but there was lotsa time for rest and to take in the sights. Our walk was coincidentally and wonderfully timed: A cruise ship passed below us on its voyage out, and we waved from the top of the bridge. Everyone was on deck, cheering, screaming, and waving back at us. Cute. We even got to see a crow's nest at the top with 3 "chicks" in it. I say "chicks" cos they were all friggin HUGE (almost as big as the parent!). The crows here make ours look like pussies, by the way.
This photo cost was "free". We weren't allowed to bring up cameras so they took photos for us at least 5 times. Of course, if we had wanted those photos it would cost us at least AUS $20 +++. Each. KNN!
Halfway down i was already thinking of my Toohey's New Extra Cold. A skooner and a pint. Mmmmm. AUS$3-4. How Knn cheap is that (For the unschooled, Toohey's is a local beer.)
It's good to be back to my bak chor mee, wanton mee, kway chap, and my 50cents Kopi-O. But i'm missing my bro, the fantastic aircon weather that LKY would die for Singapore to have (so it'll keep the workers working), and the fucking good breakfasts and latte.
*ps. YES, Andrea i missed you too lah, pok! hahaha :P
