Why I was.. absent

Make yourself comfortable for the story I'm going to tell you. It will be quite long but I try to keep it as short as possible.


Before I start, make sure you went to the toilette.. I'll wait..
..
ready?
..
OK. 
I went to Fraser Island!


For those who don't know. Fraser Island is an island.. true story
It locates about 300 km in north direction from my place. It's known for the beautiful nature and the Dingoes. A Dingo is a wild dog living only in Australia and most of them live on Fraser.


On xmas we got vacation until 4th of January so I decided to go somewhere. For me as a tough wild guy it sounded great to go on a wild island camping outside and stuff.


So me and some other swiss guys decided to go. Mistake!


Have you guys ever seen the movie FInal destination. In my situation it was the same. we had some signs that we shouldn't go, but we went..


1. Sign: Forecast
Somedays before I checked the Forecast and it supposed to be rainy.. the whole time..


2. Sign: Waiting
As we went to book in the backpackers agency there were some other guys before us, so we had to wait. She said she will only take 10 minutes then it's our turn. we waited in front of the agency for 80 minutes.. 


3. Sign: Bus
When we booked all she said how much would cost the bus.. 140 dollars each this is too much. 


4. Sign: Hire a car
We decided to hire a car. The first agency we went to wanted almost 800 bucks for 5 days.. that was way too much.


5. Sign: no cars left
The 3 other agencies had no more cars left because everybody booked to go somewhere else on new year. Finally we found one for half of the prices of the first one.


6. Sign: manual car
We didn't check what kind of car it was. It was a manual one.. normally no problem but in australia everything is changed so the drivers place is on the opposite site.


7. Sign: Traffic Light
For me it was the most important sign to go back. As we arrived at the first traffic light in surfers it was red.. and it stayed red.. and stayed.. and didn't change.. even when all other cars passed 3 times our light didn't change.


8. Sign: Accident
When we finally were on the motorway seemed everything alright 150 km further there was big crash on the lane so there was no more movement.. we were there for about an hour meanwhile 2 firefight cars and 2 ambulances passed.


9. Sign: Turn
Finally we started to move, slowly, so we thought great we will arrive on time. but the crashed cars were still on the street we just had to turn on the motorway to go back


10. Sign: Off road
We had to take another way to get after the crash and this way went through a national park and the speed was 7 km/h because of all the cars.. after 2 hours in desert we arrived on the motorway just 50 meters after the crash and the cars weren't there anymore..


11. Sign: flooded
As we arrived in Rainbow beach, the town before getting to Fraser, it started to rain so much that the streets were flooded.


..
At this moment we're doing another pee-breake so if you have to go to toilette you can go now
..




You see there were 11 Signs not to go but we didn't care.
1st day was cool we went with a own 4 wheel drive car to the island and through the rainforest. We arrived at  Lake Mackenzie and because it didn't rain so much we went for a swim. The water was so clear I have never seen this before and the sand was so fine, they told us you can use it as a peeling and we did. We have even seen a baby Turtle soooo cute!
But then it started to rain and I mean really rain. Even before we started with the tents.


I don't care of rain because I got used to it in army so I prepared with some other tough guys while the girls and pussies stayed in the cars.
From this moment on it didn't stop.. 


In this night we have seen a dingo only one. We have seen other dingoes while our stay but my opinion is, it was always the same. I think there is just 1 dingo on Fraser for the tourists.
We have seen frogs too and insects as big as frogs.


2nd Day it didn't stop raining for the whole day! We were driving around went to Indiana Heads a Viewpoint have seen red canyons and the wreck but I think these spots would look better on a sunny day.


3rd Day started like the others with rain. But I was still full of motivation while others were so down that they paid to spent the night in a hostel and not outside. I felt good I even made pancakes =)


When we came back to Rainbow Beach they told us we couldn't leave for at least 3 days because all the streets out of Rainbow Beach (actually there is only one) have been flooded. From this moment on we crossed out the bow and called it instead Rain Beach. After a shower we tried anyway to get off and we finally had luck because we were the last car leaving Rain Beach because in this situation the water level was a little lower.


Finally we arrived at Surfers Paradise and we had the best weather ever! I love showers and washing machines =)


If I could decide to go again, I would! It was great even though the rain! =)


That's one part of the story, There happened a lot of things on Fraser before and after but it will become too long and some things should stay a secret ;)


Cheers

Xmas Party

First I would like to apologize that you had to wait so long for news.
I was... absent.. but this is another story.
Now I would like to tell you what happened before I was.. absent..


I like to tell you about Xmas.
I was sooo confused.. I know christmas this way:
On christmas eve (24. dec) you stay together with family and friends you have a big dinner, happy, stuff. On xmas (25. dec) you give your presents and stuff.


Do you know what aussies do on christmas eve?
Nothing!
Thats a normal day they work I even had school on xmas eve.
the 25. they have a big lunch together and give presents before. not even a dinner it's lunch!
and thats it.


And here is what we did.
couple of days before everybody of us took a paper with the name of somebody else. I'm sure everybody knows this. it's called secret santa


I took Oswaldo the Brazilian Guy.
I choose to give him a funny present, I bought him a Mug (coffee cup) on which it was written: "the world greatest pornstar" and in it some condoms just in case he need some while breakfast.


We gave our presents on the 24. because its was the first time everybody was home at same time. It was so funny. Marc, my host dad, even dressed as santa so fun!
I received a T-shirt with Joda from Starwars with some cool sunglasses =)
and Sasha (my host sister) gave me some silk boxers on which it's written: "FBI Female Body Inspector" so funny.
next day we had a great lunch with a buffet very nice and I didn't even had to wash up.


This was just 1 day before I was.. absent..


Cheers

Wilson answers

Allright today I took the bike to school again and I took the fastest way, which mean you have to pass Wilson (hope you remember Wilson the bored crow).

But this time I took my camera with me (at this point thx to my mate Fab for the idea) and filmed how Wilson attacked me.
So Wilson is not affraid of cameras because he did attack me but only ones and the best, you can see it on the video! =)



But...
I can't post it on the blog becaus it seems like you need to link it with youtube but youtube is blocked at school. So tomorrow I'm going to try a diffrent way to link it because you guys have to watch my 1st survival movie =)

Cheers

Mexico City, Munich, Montreal and Moscow

Great, Great, Great
I'm talking not only about the weather but also about the fact that we don't have any homework this week. So this mean that it's a party week. It starts today with the Brazilian Party as I already told you. I know some people now and found some friends. I'm trying to not speak to much german (I'm speaking more german than in switzerland) because I'm here to improve my english so if I wouldn't have this blog I would get a big fat zero in improving.

I thought about movinh to Surfers Paradise itself for some reasons, one of them is to must speak english. I met some Brazilian guys they asked me if i want to move with them. You might be a little confused because you thought I live in Surfers. I actually live In Mermaid Waters which is at Gold Coast too but to Surfers it takes me 20 minutes by bike (if Wilson is not too bored).
So this means that I have to pay always about 20 bucks for the cab from Club to home, which is too much.

By the Way do you guys know where the word cab is comming from?
It commes from the french word cabrioler which means when goats jumping around, because the first cabs bumped that much that it reminded the passengers on bumping goats.

anyway tonite I'm going to ask some people a question, you should do the same to brake the ice with strangers, as my teacher advised.

Which were the names of the cities that all started with M, where the Olympic Games were held continuously.
That means one after one.

Guess :P

Cheers

One weekend at the Gold Coast

Friday eve I went to the National Basketball League game of the Blaze versus Crocs.
It was awesome, it was great and it was legen.. wait for it.. dary!
Even when the Blaze are the 2nd last and the Crocs are the 3rd last one of the League..
Anyway it was cool. very good game and finally Blaze won and after the game I went to the court to take pictures of the players and get autographs. 


Saturday I went surfing, 1st time in my life, it was so cool although the waves weren't good. It's a great feeling when you get pushed by the waves first time. Standing on the board seemed little bit difficult because you don't know where exactly to stay and when and how to stand up. It's all about experience. It's sure that I'm going to surf some more times.
Here is my advice. Never ever go surfing without a suit or at least a t-shirt.
Your nipples will be wounded and that really hurts like when Charley bit his brothers finger on YouTube. Saturday was cloudy so i didn't take any sun blocker (big mistake) at the Gold Coast UAV Raise are so high that they don't give a fuck on clouds. Now I got sunburned..


Sunday was the greatest day, it rained.. the whole day without stopping so I was home and did nothing except starting to watch every season, again.


What did you do?


Cheers

Surf Club Ritual

Every friday is graduation day.
That mean there wil be hold some speaches of students who are leaving on this day,
very funny always, especially when some asian guys take out their 16 pages long speaches and you can't hear anything, because they don't speak clearly in the mic, nice try..

But it's allways sad when cool people leave this week 4 guys of my class left =(
Monday we got new ones =) freshmen!

Yoshimi, a Japanese girl of my clas, left too so my teacher Mark said something about her that she was a good student with great grammar skills and he really said "This week she had a great experience sitting next to Ardi and teach him some grammar I think they would be a lovely couple, Oh there he is. Hi Ardi" and pointed on me, in front of the whole school. How emberassing would everbody think, I don't care it was just funny.
Yoshimi held her speach and I understoud; great, good, beach, miss and happy and I think she said something with facebook too.

Anyway, just after the speaches everyone goes to the surf club. It's like a little club (actually it's a deck over a restaurant) so funny. but there are only guys from my school there and you can drink cheap. Last Friday was so cool, In 2 minutes the sky transformed from cloudly to stormy.. very stormy. We've even seen a tornado on the sea.

So after a while Daina arraived (who is Daina?), Daina is a swiss I met her a week before. She Was in Langports too now she has some vacation and then she will start studying in australia because her Dad has the australian citizenship so that she gets kind of social opertunitis to study here, She told me about Tim Tam, it's a very delicous australian chocolate biscuit. And last Friday she brought me some because I didn't knew it. Isn't this sweet?! =)

I like the Surf Club Ritual. You allways meet new people and it's good to organize which parties you have to go.

Looking forward to reach friday =)

Cheers

3 little Ice Cubes

I really get mad when I look out of the window.

It's raining!

Don't get this in a wrong way, I'm not the type of person who hates rain, gets disappointed and gets worried about his hair (..well the last part might be right). No I'm not, otherways I didn't have fun in Venice =)
I just hate that it changes so dramaticly.

In the morning I get sweaty befor I even arrive at school, in the afternoon I have to wait till it stops raining to ride home (that's why I'm still here).

Yesterday was great but too Hot, I decided to go to the beach instead of school. Yeah I know.. bad boy, but You don't get this, there hasn't been a day like this since I'm here. It was even to hot for the ice cubes in my water, poor cubes dind't last long..

That reminds me on a story!

Once upon a time..

I was in school. Proffesional school to be honest.

There was a friend of mine (no it was not me). He had an affair with a girl of the same class (what a jerk!) later they were in a relationship.. So once I discovered a tattoo on her back.
3 little Icecubes. I asked him about the meaning. After almost fighting with him, he told me the story.

She had a best friend (male) and I think she was a little into him. After spending much time together they had sex and for every time they had sex they got inked. So the 3 cubes stand for 3 times they were in bed together.. (Common! Are you kidding me?!)

The only thing I said was: "At least you know when she cheatted on you"
This seemed not to be a problem because, her friend and she don't talk anymore together and he regretts it that he got inked, she don't!

what we learn from this story is..

..check always your girlfriends back!


Hey it stopped raining. =)

cheers
