Osaka Sky Tower

We visited the Osaka Sky Tower and realised the view would be much more spectacular at sunset, so we kept ourselves occupied for hours drinking beers, eating hotdogs and watching a game of what looked like dodgeball (we were 173m above the city so it was hard to tell).

Daniel turned 21

And we celebrated in style of course. Us ladies wore dresses and heels and sipped on champagne, and the young men donned shirts and ties and smoked cigars for the occasion.

Did we let our fancy attire get in the way of us letting our hair down? Hells no! Speeches were misplaced and forgotten. The nutbush was performed in front of confused parental figures. Cigarettes ran out, and the cigarette vending machine refused to accept our shrapnel. Hugs and D&M's were in abundance. And we all had one thing in common... a love of our dear friend. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANIEL!








Note to self : You are going to your house and then to pony. You are going to your house then to pony.

Japlan Number 2

Lessons learnt from the first time...


- Don't stay in $15 hotels! They are probably designed to house dirty minded old business men, in a bad area filled with sex shops and many many more dirty minded old men

- ALWAYS sit in the smoking carriage in the trains. Japan is full of novel ideas, and this is the best one

- Legal drinking age is 20... not 18 duh

- Go to more bars and clubs now that we ARE over 20

- Luggage is a pain in the ass. Ditch it

- Buy more disposable cameras and film because they are near impossible to re-fill in Australia

- Don't leave your awesome plastic umbrella in the train!

- Eat something other than Macca Dees, but still attempt to try everything on the Maccas menu =P 

- Make friends with the locals

- Buy more stuff! You're on holiday stupid! Splurge a little

- Hang out at parks like the locals

- Start drinking earlier in the day to avoid wasting the next day on a hangover

- Bring back more Kool Boost cigarettes! You WILL miss them when you run out and savour your very last one 'til new years. Yes, they ARE that amazing

- If there is peach toilet paper in the hotel, STEAL IT!!!


3 days to go, and counting =)

Meow meow

Spring has sprung. Everybody seems to have gained a whole new lease on life, myself included
Amazing what a little sunshine can do

I have decided my new year started on my birthday, so I have set a New Years resolution. I haven't been to nearly as many gigs as I'd like to in the last 6 months, so I plan to go to many many more in the near future



This video brought me smiles. And these guys are touring in November. Win

21

So I turned 21 last week. We had a picnic come mad hatter tea party in the park on Saturday to celebrate
There was fairy bread, cupcakes, feathers, capes, masks and ponchos. Invisibility glasses, home-made kites, a magical future telling coffee cup, a headless giraffe, a dragon and a gigantic banana tree
Sid came to visit. He definitely brought a whole new dimension to said picnic. He also brought some friends along for the ride; Mary and Wendy and Mr Squirrel
Safe to say the whole day was like a trip down a rabbit hole into a world full of utter nonsense
