Breakfast story

Once upon a time..
.. there was a class.. indeed it was my class and to precise that, it was last Tuesday.

It started as usual nobody was on time and my teacher didn't care. He read the news to the motivated students, which were lucky it was still the beginning of the week.
Every week the school organizes events to keep fun in school but in my opinion this is a lie, the school wants us just to spent money for stuff we wouldn't do so that they can reach a profit out of us.
However there were Tango lessons after school for 5$, Thursday Fish and Chips in Burleigh Beach for 10$, Surf lessons were on Friday for 40$ and the 2 days trip to Morton Island for 260$
oh by by the way there was no school the next day because of Australia Day, whatever it stands for..

Just after Rob told that we have a day off Fabian alias the Fab arrived. Fab is a Brazilian, he is so funny and it was his last week at Langports, I'll will miss him so bad. So Fabian asked what did I miss but in this funny way he always does. Rob said not much, except that there is a breakfast tomorrow before school you need to be here at 8.30 am, everybody laughed and Fabian as well and just said ok.

On Thursday Fabian was absent on Friday as well but it was his last day so Rob called him.
As he tried to reach him, we heard a melody coming from the corridor and Fab appeared eating a cookie and drinking a peach drink and smiling and everybody just laughed, he said he's having his breakfast that Rob owed him.
Then he started to explain that he has been at school on Wednesday at 8.30 am (I think this was probably the first time he was on time). Everybody thought he was joking but then he told us he waited in front of the school and wrote Rob a message when he didn't see anybody. School was open so he went inside and slept on the couch for about an hour and then he went to the pancake factory had a good breakfast but he had to pay almost 20 bucks..
Oh did I mention that he took his girlfriend to the "breakfast" because he told her that there are going to be eggs, pancakes, bacon, juices etc..

I laughed so bad!

Then Rob said: "So your message was true I thought it was a joke". "Rob where is the breakfast, I'm hungry."

While he was telling this story you should have seen his pokerface, so serious while I almost died because of laughing.


What I learned this day, never trust a Britain.


..and if they're not dead, they still live today.

Cheers

The legend of the 5 Rings

Awesomeness of awesome!
No I'm not talking about me (not only)  I'm talking about yesterday.
Yesterday I went to come back into a fighters mentality.
What does this mean?
Good question!
I'm sure you know this kind of old school, chinese, martial arts, flying around, weird named, kick ass movies, where the silent warrior make his pilgrimage to the mountain of Hayabusa to meditate under the waterfall of Yokohari for not less than 4 months without eating or sleeping of course and after that he comes back to the valley of Horinaka and beats the 1000 soldiers of the evil emperor Kim Park Lee IV to rescue his beloved princess Fergie (I couldn't find a better name). 


That's exactly what I did yesterday.. except of the part.. you know which part..


Yesterday I really went to the Muay Thai training. Some of you might know that I did regularly (/excessive)  Muay Thai before Army and because I want to start again when I go back, I thought, hey why not to start on my fitness here?!


So I went with Jack (my Thai mate who does Muay Thai as well) to the Kick-Ass club which is called 5 Rings Dojo (pretty impressive isn't it).


header_left.jpg

Training was exhausting but not that hard as I thought. What really gave me the rest was the first exercise: Clinching.
I did no clinching practice for the last 18 months maybe, so I was not used to it. Never in my whole life I had so much neck ache as now (actually I had.. yesterday) I couldn't even hold my head straight without my hands.
The rest of the training I tried to look as I was not impressed.


The trainer was a big guy from Russia, Arslan was his name. If I were a woman this would be the most perfect body I could imagine.. I know it sounds a bit gay but hey, you didn't see it,, even I got jealous (and nooo, ladies I wont tell you where the dojo is).
anyway after training I did some stretching I like it when everybody watches me how flexible I am and I did some punching bag just to show them that I'm not done yet.
I think Arslan liked me, because I always bowed when he told me something and he saw my tattoo.. When he asked me if I'm moslem (which I am), I thought he's going to kick me out 'cause most of Russians are orthodox and they don't like us, anyway I said yes and guess what he told me he's moslem too. I couldn't believe it until I've seen him praying after training.


So when I wanted to leave with Jack, Arslan asked us if we need a lift home and then he asked me If i can drive. Without thinking I said yes and gave me a key of a new jeep (very cool car) and just said follow my car which was a black Audi Q7.. 


ABT_AS7__Front_mattschwarz_kl.jpg
at this point I would like to take a break to repeat it an Audi Q7..
Which is my favorite car! No it's not a ferrari or mercedes or crab it's the Audi Q7.
It was the first Audi Q7 which I've seen in Australia I didn't even know Aussies know this car. So I got into the jeep on the right side I was pretty nervous because it was the first time I've ever driven on the right side but that left me cold 'cause I drove like a native driver. The Car was pretty cool and fast! So I followed him in his Audi Q7 to the building where he lives. He said get into the other car I'm gonna park the jeep in the car park. So we entered the Audi Q7 in which the keys still stuck.


Please imagine this situation! You're in your favorite car ever a Hip Hop beat is coming out of a modified subwoofer and the key is plugged.. If I wasn't that conscientious I would have stolen it immediately. He came back and brought us in front of our building. I like this guy and his Audi Q7 by the way that was the 7th time I mentioned his car.


But now, everything hurts by neck is not doing better, I didn't even go out yesterday and that means something! I hope I'll do better soon to go again and beat his fighters up.

Hurting Nipples

Oh my goodness, I just went through my old postings (and tried to not get sentimental) and discovered that I've never written something about surfing. People why didn't you tell me? I write so much in my blog (not too much, but anyway much) that I can forget the real stuff that matters.


I only tried to surf, because I miss snowboarding so much, so I thought, hey let's try. I didn't take any lesson 'cause I thought it's not gonna be that hard and in snowboarding I just went without knowing how to slowdown or stuff.


When you go to surf, make sure you use a big one for beginning of course you can use a short one, but it's much harder to stand on a short board.
The difference is that with long boards you are faster while paddling and because of the size you don't need to balance too much while trying to stand up.
Short boards are meant to be flexible on the waves you can turn immediately because they are light and sharp shaped.


The first 2 times a took a big one and then I thought lets try it with a short. It's such a difference.
Make sure you practice in little water how to catch a wave and stand up - not like me.


Before you go to surf you need a license from the federal traffic office.
You need to fill a form the questions were more or less these:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Surfing License Form:


1. Do you want a license for pleasure or business?


2. Have you ever been surfing without a license and been charged?


3. Are any heart disease  in your family history?


4. Can you swim?


5. How good can you swim?


6. Did you ever watch a surf movie (if Keanu Reeves played in this movie, then it doesn't count)?


7. Are you an Australian citizen?


8. If not, do you think you can become one when you have a surf license?


9. How many sharks you have to see until you consider to get out of the water?


10. Do you know that you can't impeach the federal traffic office if you die while surfing (theoretically)?


11. Do you have the figure to wear a wetsuit?


12. In other words, Do you think other surfer will consider you as a whale if the see you in the water?


13. Do you eat fish?


14. Do you want a license to commit suicide?


15. Do you own a microwave?


Please return the complete form to the federal traffic office unless you are female and answered the 11th question with yes, then just send a photo of you wearing a wetsuit or rashie.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Pretty tough questions aren't they?
Your question now should be, what is a rashie?
Good question! A rashie is like a light wetsuits which looks like a t-shirt, looks pretty cool if you want to impress girl, true story!


I would highly recommend you a rashie because otherwise you nipples are going to hurt by the end of the day.
You always put wax on you board to have a better grip and when you lie on the board and scratch your chest against it, you will have whole of your front wounded.
I now the desire is big, but don't laugh it's really not funny.


Oh and something else, never go surfing with nipple piercing, biiiig mistake!


And if you thought I will tell you how to surf, keep hoping 'cause I don't know either, I only stay on the beach with a surfboard next to me because it looks cool.


cheers

The Beneficial Event

I think I don't need to tell you that there are floods in Brisbane because most of you already asked me if I'm still alive, so we just skip that part.

To help the victims of Brisbane who lost almost everything, my school organized a little event to collect money. So what kind of event would fit best to do this..
An event wich underaged students can attend as well.. which is fun and cheap.. likely  in the evening.. and where you can see a lot of skin.

Yes, I'm talking about a Pyjama Party slash Movie Marathon.
Yes I know what you might think now, this is not the type of party Ardi would go to and it really isn't but it's for a beneficial thing so I spent 10 bucks.


The main problem was, how is a pyjama defined?
Every staff told me just to wear something but it isn't like I go to sleep 'cause my pyjama it's just my underwear.


So I took a tanktop and my orange boxer shorts I got on Xmas on which it's written (F.B.I - Federal Body Inspector). That was funny and when I got there I was very surprised.
There were almost only girls there and all of them in Hot pants.. lucky me!


Despite of some technical defects it was a cool evening. There was pizza, popcorn, chocolate and soft drinks. The movie was called "the Blindside" I think it would be a pretty interesting movie if you haven't been interrupted every 2nd minute by some strange noises and weird questions but I really don't want to complain.. I didn't stay for the second Movie 'cause I've already seen it. But I took a lot of pics and I think I should organize one of those pyjama parties as well.


Today at graduation they told us, that 425 bucks has been collected.. not a big deal but at least there were some people who had the same opinion like me to try to help.


Some consequences I had to take, Since today I'm an official member of the schools library and guess what was the first movie I borrowed?!


Cheers

Revolution

You might remember when I told you about Rebacca who gave me my first penalty?
Now I got the second or again the first.. whatever..

Just to remember you get a penalty for each time you speaK your own language, if you get the third one, you have to go home (like this would be a punishment..).

Anyway today I was speaking german to Nadja I think. When a hand grapped my arm and pulled me to the reception desk. Despite her age the teacherS grap was very strong and of course I didn't want to hurt her, so didn't defend my self..

She took me to Susie, who already gave me my 1st penalty so Susie knows me.. But she asked me: "Ardi, is this your first penalty?" I said yes!! (c'mon, what would you say in such a situation?!) and she asked me: "Are you sure?" I said no!! (I'm just too honest to ly and this has nothing to do with the fact that she could check this)

She said I've never been marked for a penalty so I got my 1st penalty again and I said I don't need the penalty paper 'cause I already know whats written on it. she laughed..

In classroom Leonie (another teacher) passed and I asked her if she could speak to Susie to not note my penalty, she said: "NO, but what I can do is giving you an advice, do not speak your own language."
That was the point were my acting me came up. So I said yes but I was speaking not my language 'cause I was speaking french (in fact I didn't, but that kept the discussion rolling) and because german is my language it's not  an offend of the school rules =)

Then of course everybody laughed but actually that was a good point, because Leonie and Jo went through the rules and really it's just written that you're not allowed to speak your language.
Lucky me I've been the first fighter of the Langports revolution.
But they gonna fix it by tomorrow and I'll keep my second penalty marked as first..

At least I tried..

Cheers

Countdown Party

I just say this: Never ever again!

I told everybody to come at 9.00 to 9.30 pm to my place. I actually invited just a few people but then everybody knew it's going to be a party in my place so everyone asked me if they could come.

At 9.00 I got some messages about if my guests can bring other guests I said sure.. 
It was pretty cool lot of people most of them from school some who I didn't know, I didn't count them. I was just worried about the security.

Bruno came to me he said what a great party, I'm the first swiss who had more girls at a home party than boys and really there were 3 times more girls than boys.
Was very funny I didn't even had to think about buying stuff, thanks good I bought plastic cups.

But then it started.. Somebody told me the security is looking angry and we should keep this controlled, so I took everyone inside at kept the noise volume on an acceptable level.

I even did a little improvised speech, I said more or less:
"Thank you party people for coming to my place and joining my lil party, some of you might know that this is my countdown party 'cause today in one month I'm leaving" - "Ohhhhh" (sad faces everywhere) "But I really appreciate you came. The security seemed like he had no sex since months, so please stay quiet 'cause otherwise he'll get the police and they gonna stop the party, cheers"

But suddenly my flatmate came and told me the security wants to see me, so I went downstairs.
Then I found myself arguing with this guy, 'cause he said there were 32 people in my flat, I said it's not true and stuff. I really don't remember what he talked about but I know he became so angry 'cause he thought I'm pissing him off. He told me I'll have to leave the country (I really don't think this guy is intelligent..) he told me he's going to call the police he even showed me their number.. so what? I went back to my flat he was screaming something but I didn't listen.

And then everybody went to the Brazilian party.
Today I tried to clean up the mess in my flat but I think it has not ended yet. Bruno had to go to do the report at police station when I came back from party. Because he broke something he had to stay the whole night awake, but he said it wasn't him and today he need to talk with the management of the building. I think I'll have to talk with them too.

This fucking security, who never reached something in life 'cause has never been more than 4 times in primary school, interrupted my great party and I even asked him if we were to loud and he said no, so what the fuck is his problem?! I hope they won't charge me or something like this.. 

Anyway now I'm going to watch the 14 episode of the 6th season of How I met your Mom 'cause it finally came out  and then I'm going to sleep the time a lost and later to clean up everything.

So dear guests I hope you liked it because next time it will be in a isolated place, where we can party all night long.

Cheers

Checkpoint Bravo 2.0

Ladies and Gentleman please take a seat for the following..

Today..

is..

the..

18th of January!


Whaat the..? Is the wrong question!

How the..? would fit better!

Some of you might know, that today in a month I'm flying back to coldness.
Seems like yesterday when I arrived, shy and tired, at Gold Coast and 'til now 7 weeks has gone so fast. This reminds me on the song "Greenday - wake me up when september ends"
'Cause I feel like sleeping and the time to get up is coming closer and closer.

Even though I know I wrote yesterday that I miss everything in Great Swiss (This is my revenge for the embarrassing history lesson today Rob), I can't imagine not having Brazilians around, of course the number of Swiss would be the same but the mentality wont.

So I decided to come down under again one day. Who wants to join me? =P

This is the part where I get sentimental so please do not laugh.. 
Thank you.. 

(no seriously don't laugh guys..)

I would like to do the checkpoint review (If you don't know what this means no worry I just created it)

Let's call the beginning of my journey Checkpoint Alfa which is the Day I arrived, Bravo would be the middle and Charlie would be the end.
And because we already passed the middle we call it Bravo 2.0 (what a smart solution :P)

'Til Checkpoint Bravo 2.0 I:
arrived
got confused with the accent
have been introduced to my host fam. and host bros and sis
slept 
went to school
went to Hardrock cafe
did homework
went to my first Aussie party
stayed home because of tiredness
went surfing
party
met people
bought a bike
got attacked by Wilson
got lost
got rained
had BBQ's
have xmas and nuyear
went to Fraser Island
moved to the city
went to Karaoke
had OPS
learned Portugese
went to many Homeparties
learned how to dance Brazilian style -> thx Lara =)
went to Wet'n'Wild
told everybody I was from France or Brazil (so funny when Swiss people tell you sth about Switzerland)


(please do not concern about my grammar I know I took the wrong tense but I'm too lazy to correct it) 

Actually I did a lot more, but I didn't write it all down 'cause you guys need to know every aspect to understand all. 

More interesting will be what I'm going to do.
..I won't tell you!

Just about tonight.. 

Because it's tuesday (Brazilian/Swiss party) and my last month so it's going to be my countdown party tonight.
Everybody is coming to my place even some teachers.
Will be so fun.

I'll keep you informed but now I need to go.

Cheers!

1'500

At this point I would like to thank everybody for joining my blog.

Today when I looked at the statistics I've seen that since I started my blog I had 1'500 visitors. In my opinion this is a great success 'cause I thought Im writing this stuff just for me and nobody has time to read my whole nonsense. 

However I'll still try to keep this number of readers and on my second priority I would like to increase it. If you think a post is very interesting or boring, just let me know, so I can keep this way or change something, because it's all about you guys. 

I'll be here for one more month so until then, I'd like to bring the number of readers up to 2'300 that should be reachable.

Once again thx guys for your loyalty and keep reading otherwise I would feel schizophrenic :P

Cheers

My Sucket List

Most of you are probably familiar with the movie "Bucket List" with Robert de Niro and Morgan Freeman (by the way, one of my favorite actors), but for those who aren't, a bucket list is a list with things you like to do before you die.


Those of you who still are in contact with me, know that I miss everything so much all though I'm having much fun here. I'm not this kind of person who writes a list with things he want to do before he die, I think it's kind of dramatic 'cause everything in life counts and not only the 27 things you wrote down on a list.


Anyway you all know that the water level is rising here in Queensland, so I wrote a list with things I like to do when I get back to Switzerland (if I get back, Airport was closed this week..) and because somethings in Australia sucks we call this a "sucket list".


My Sucket List:

1. Taste spices on food and not only sauce. (especially Aromat)
2. Taste a really good old french dressing.
3. Go snowboarding.
4. Drive around in my car.
5. Tell my brothers what they should and what the shouldn't do.
6. Meet my friends on a cold sunny sunday just to walk around and talk nonsense.
7. Learn at least 5 more jokes about blondes.
8. Show my family how good I improved in kitchen.
9. Start thaiboxing again.
10. Do a lot of Urban Survival videos and post all of them on my blog.
11. Drive on the right way of a street.
12. Take a bath (everybody tells you you are not allowed to have a shower for more then 4 minutes, but that's not true).
13. Wait for the bus, which arrives ALWAYS on time.
14. Meet my friends at McClarens before going to the clubs.
15. Stop to use Skype.
16. Buy real cheese.
17. Eat handmade chocolate.
18. Go to the movie theaters  (I'm so not updated..).
19. To not have to ask people I just met, where they're from.
20. Box with my little cousins even when I know, they're going to beat me.
21. Get my mates away from they're girlfriends (no I'm kidding, they should just stop watching grey's anatomy with 'em).
22. Go ice skating even when I fall always down.
23. Stop to learn Portuguese.
24. Not have to wait ages when I stop at a traffic light.
25. Sleep in my bed and wake up in my mess of a room =)
26. Read real newspaper and not only the online version.
27. Find the one.


I think more or less that's it. 
Don't get this in a wrong way, I like Gold Coast but I miss those things so much and my family and my friends and and and.

Cheers

The Big Bang Theory

I think most of you know the serial: "The Big Bang Theory".
Today I felt like one of these Nerds (Sheldon & Lenard).


My homework for today was to prepare a presentation about a future aspect.
So we went in pairs. My mate choose the subject: "new discoveries". This is not too bad I thought..


But this guy knew already what he will talk about, he wanted to talk about how to fold the universe to make teleportation possible. Is it necessary to say that this guy is an mekatronik engineer? (whatever this contains)


So because I'm Swiss, he thought I should explain the CERN Collider (If you don't know what it is, you better have listened to my presentation).
And he wanted me to explain the universe.. (do I look like somebody he knows this) and he wanted to explain the 4 dimensions and how to fold the entire universe..


Anyway I did a lot, a lot of research and then I explained the CERN and how they impact Protons together, how they search the Higgs-particle and what it means when we find it and then I explained the theory of relativity of Alexander Friedmann who proved that the universe is expanding and it not a space in form of a box or of a ball. He said the universe is a flat like a sheet.


So when Rob asked me what a particle is I was like.. omg.. omg .. omg. Lucky me I had somebody with me who could explain.
But Rob wanted to trap me as he asked me about the costs and who is a member of this conceal. These stuff I knew and I think he was kind of impressed even tough most of Swiss know this because it's always in our local newspaper.


The conditions of the presentation were to speak for 5 minutes but how could you explain quantum physics in 5 minutes?! So we were speaking for 34 minutes.. and then we discussed every point again in class, that was such a nice day. All day long talking about stuff nobody has an idea of .


I wish we could do this more often =)


Cheers

Contemplating

I might have told you about my teacher Mark, the funny teacher who always repeats his self.
He likes me I think, maybe because I'm the only one who laughs at his jokes..
so what? I always try to get advantages from neurolinguistic (like this word, means affect the appearance somebody has on you by acts or sounds you do).


anyway he recommended me to move into a higher course and here I am. 
today was my first day in the advanced class. The class is called CAE Flexi.
Which means it's kind of flexible preparation course for the Cambridge CAE Test. This word flexible means this = it's called CAE but we prepare with PCE (Proficiency) exercises. I just say this: OMG! this stuff is so complicated. In the reading part he asked us to highlight the words we don't know, after the first paragraph I thought, well.. if he wanna have a rainbow paper why not.. 


But there was one word nobody knew and I did. It's: "Contemplating" usually you don't learn this word because it's a synonym for advanced british speaking. I caught  it up when I was in Canada 2 Years ago. It means this: "Think about".


to contemplate (infinitive) contemplated (past participle)

Use this in your next essay and you will impress your teacher.

My new teacher Rob is a good one, he's british and he liked my t-shirt with the motive of Mohamed Ali (again neurolinguistic). The other students in my class are all high grade students like medical or law and some of them are even underaged.

Anyway I'm gonna have fun and if not I'm going to my last class 'cause I miss them.

Cheers

Diagnose: Party

- sleepy
- unmotivated
- lost apetite
- feet ache
- Tinitus
- Herpes 


These are the documented symptoms for a disease called "Partos Olvaro" or more common the "Over-Partied-Syndrom" (OPS). Unlikely I have all these indications except herpes (I swear!).


The Medical formula for OPS is simple:


(mP * lP +Sx) + Scl / RP = OPS

now the translation for those of you who are not experts in this subject:

(many Parties * late Parties + Sex) + School / regeneration Phase (sleeping) = OPS

In some case where no Herpes  is you can subtract Sex or add Pv, which means Preservative. Depends on the subject.

with simple words OPS means this - Shit happens!


I got OPS because from last Tuesday 'til Sunday i went out everyday although I had school next day. This sounds so bad but.. yes it is bad. Anyway I did always my homework and went to school on time, I was like usual. Here is my advice never sleep after party before going to school. Your body can't handle that because he is ready to regenerate and you interrupt this process. If you sleep before class make sure you sleep between 30 and 90 minutes this effects like a power nap, but make sure you get your lost sleep after school.

Anyway you need a lot of practice to do this, that's why I would like to thank army. It's the second time in Australia I see the advantages of military.

This week I'll do the cure to fight off my OPS (doesn't mean to not go to parties anymore.. just less).

At this point I would really like to thank all my fans of which most of them are working while they read this post and get jealous. You really shouldn't be jealous, furthermore you should feel sorry for me.. like I do for you.. 

Cheers

398 minutes

Dear friends


I'm so sorry to tell you the following.


I bought one of those USB Modems witch which you're able to go in internet from wherever you want to. Despite it costs a fortune I took it. Because I want you guys to see my funny movies. 


Anyway i tried to upload it and guess what. I takes 398 minutes for a clip which is almost 1 minute long..


If I would invest these 398 minutes i wouldn't have any capacity left on my usb modem, because it's prepaid.


I will do my best to find another option how to do this. If not, you have to wait until I'm back in switzerland..


and until then I will give my best to keep this blog as interesting as possible.


cheers

I'm French

Hello Partypeople

This week the cambridge courses started in my school like FCE and CAE, that means loads of new students! to precise that there are about 150 fresh (wo)men. To precise that.. more then 90 people from switzerland. There is no more english in school it's just german and I'm not here to improve my german..

It's not only in school but also during free time. Tuesday while I was getting some food I heared 2 diffrent groups, in the store, speaking german. This is so bad because I was making better and better now this.

Don't get this in a wrong way I'm happy about new faces espally because I already now some of them and more people, means more friends, means more fun (basic maths)

Oh I didn't tell you.. I canceled my homestay. They were great but just too far, so I'm living now with 4 Brazilian containing 3 girls and 1 guy. They're so fun and I like them and the best my place is 2 minutes from school and 50 meters from beach sooo central. In the same building there are living other students too so before going to parties you can just change the level for warm up party.

anyway I did this too to have to speak english, but now..

I couldn't handle this because I spent lot of money I hardly worked for to come here. That's why I told everybody I'm from France.

Swiss people from german part are so affraid of french, they learn it in school for at least 4 years but they're not able to speak in french. Now I'm not that good in french espacially when I write, but when I speak there are, rare, but there are people how might think it's my first language, so they keep distance or speak english.

Isn't it a great Idea?
..
It isn't! because there are not only german speaking people in switzerland.. but also french speaking and out of these 90 swiss there are about 30 french speakers.. so guess.. I'm improving french..

cheers

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
