Types of Travellers

When going on a holiday with people, for everyone's sake, you should probably know what kind of traveller you are and what kind of traveller they are. Incompatibility can result in exhaustion, annoyance, frustrations, and it you are travelling with girls endless grudges. 

1. The "Korean" Traveller. 

These people are the ones that want to get the most out of their time away. This results in them jam packing absolutely everything you can do in the shortest amount of time possible. If you are dying to see every landmark and do everything you can do, this type of travelling is good as you definitely won't waste time or airfares. But even just thinking about it makes me exhausted. 

2. The "Adventurous/Lost" Traveller

These people have no plans at all. In a way the opposite for the "Korean" Traveller. They just arrive at the train station and get on the first train without knowing where it stops. It is , I think, the most exciting way to travel. However there is a high risk factor involved. This type of travelling can be very expensive for getting lost in the middle of the woods. But you may discover something that no one else will see. It helps to not be directionally and geographically challenged. 

3. The "I'm not a traveller" Traveller

These people decided that they will not go through the shame of being a tourist, but in the end act the most like an annoying tourist anyway. They ditch the prescribed course of sight seeing, instead opting to attempt to be more 'local' and live there like they are at home. While you may  feel like a local and make friends along the way, you are very likely to not do much with their time and be stamped as time wasters by other holiday people. As an "I'm not a traveller" Traveller , you the most likely to do stupid things and talk to randoms as logic says you'll never see these people again. 

Marathons

Over lunch, my friend told me about this 80 year old grandma that ran a marathon.

Friend :  Isn't it amazing? She just started training a couple years ago and ran a whole marathon because she wanted to.

Me: A whole marathon? I wish I could do that.

Friend: Yeah, me toop. I hope when I'm 80 I could do something like that.

Me: No, I wish I could run a marathon now.


I know what a bad story to tell while eating food.
Okay I probably definitely need to spend more time standing than sitting , and probably moving. Thinking about it my Grandma used to play this game that involved running with a really heavy bat stick thing when she was in her 80s. I guess I didn't get that fitness gene. I can't catch a ball no matter how you throw it at me.

People from Sydney

Every year the university holds a multi cultural day. This means we get stands selling Asian food and for some reason an Australian wild life display. 


While most of my friends are from Queensland like me, a couple of my friends came interstate from Sydney to come to uni. That day I found out one of the many ways Queenslanders are different from the kids from the big city. 


One of the animals the wildlife people (I think from Currumbin Sanctuary, I can't count how many times I've been there on my fingers) brought was a baby possum or something like that. 


This is the possum:

This is a comparison of us:

Three Little Pigs

Who's laughing now?

If I was a boy

My friends reckon they have found the male version of me.



BTW new post every Wednesday!

Nerds Diet

My friends on dieting. 

The Busker

Busker: I'll be taking requests.

Me (yells): Justin Bieber 

Busker: Some bieber fever I see. Will need some headache tablets before I do that.

The buskers in Surfers are quite excellent. 

Who doesn't like a Bieber Fever joke?

Nicknames

I have a problem with remembering names. Usually I won't be able to attach a name with your face until we are friends on Facebook. THANK GOD FOR FACEBOOK. It is seriously genius, there are names, photos, and mutual friends so you know exactly who they are when you see them again in real life. 

A more fun way to make someone's name more memorable is to just give them a nickname. My friend Jess and I have become quite the nicknamers. Nicknamers? Nickname givers?

So for all those other people out there that have problems with names and want to give out excellent nicknames - 

4 EXCELLENT WAYS TO MAKE UP NICKNAMES

1. Add an 'S' to the start of their name. 

2. Create an imaginary baby.

3. Use a name that's easy to remember.

4.  Use a part of their name inappropriately.

Back

Okay. I'm weak. First world problem: can't live without the internet.
After stopping blogging, I have had no where to release my distractible self and somehow ended up being constantly on twitter, facebook and watching random bits of tv.
So after not even a month I have decided to save my self from twitter to blog again.

In other news, watched the most ridiculous Japanese drama in the last two days. Japanese kids definitely have the cute genes.
