宿醉真的很難過,
宿醉就算了再加上speaking測驗更是難過,

在這已經待了兩個多月,
平時下課後一起混進別間學校(VIVA)打桌球的同學,
還有假日一起出遊的同學,從這週開始陸續離開了,
這週桌球成員有人要離開,昨天大家決定來個桌球比賽,
輸的要買巧克力餅乾,所以這可是個嚴肅的比賽@@,
過程可是緊張刺激兼暴笑,該校的桌球桌都被我們佔領了,
結束之後,當然少不了PARTY,
不過昨晚玩著日本的drinking game,一不小心就喝多了,
大概是有史以來喝最醉的一次了,回到家直接倒頭就睡了,
今天一早起來,頭疼的要死,偏偏今天有speaking test,
開始後悔昨晚喝多了ORZ,結果測驗還算差強人意,
老師說我有進步。
不過下週一還有聽讀寫及文法測驗ORZ。

20060327-sunshine coast

由於上週昆士蘭省遭到cyclone侵襲,
使得上週天氣都陰晴不定的,
直到週五還再擔心周六的sunshine coast行程,
不過我們同學個個賭性堅強,不管氣象預報說會下雨,
還是預約了一部八人座汽車,給他衝過去就是了,

週六一早起來,天空好藍,今天應該是個大晴天,
這次應該下對注了,不過天氣好冷@@,
不怕不怕這只是早晚溫差大,等會天氣就熱了,
到了海邊還是可以下水的,

一行人懷著愉悅的心情出發,
今天司機不是我,所以我有機會好好欣賞沿路景觀,
不過今天司機有點crazy,速限100最快給我飆到160= =,
經過了Glass House Mountains,雖然我很想去那邊,
不過今天目的地是Noosa beach,只好望著那奇特的山頭離我遠去,
到了目的地Noosa head,風景真棒XD,
這時當然先狂拍照先囉,
不過到了沙灘一看,今天浪真大= =,只能衝浪ORZ,
決定先填飽肚子在說,今天午餐吃KEBABS,
好像是印度傳過來的食物,在澳洲很盛行,
餅皮包了一堆東西就是了,吃完午餐,
大夥不甘心決定驅車前往另一個beach,
結果浪還是一樣大,
最後今天的行程變成一路延著sunshine coast的海岸線開,
然後望著大浪興嘆,還有狂拍照,
大概sunshine coast沿岸的beach景點我們都去過了,
算算起碼五六個海灘吧,就是沒一個有下水的ORZ,
不過今天的撘車及拍照之旅大致還是不錯啦@@。

真的要變成週記了ORZ,

上週末是我來這後完全沒計劃的一個週末,
之前不是出去晃就是搬家,每個週末至少都有一件事做,
上週末連續兩天閒在家,想說用功一下念點書,
結果把三國志孔明傳這套遊戲給複習了一遍ORZ。

前幾天在街上巧遇我前一個homestay室友,
沒想到他居然說我變胖了ORZ,
我才離開之前的homestay兩週就變胖,
害我這幾天吃飯時都會猶豫要不要再盛一碗飯。

昨天一個日本同學生日,
班上同學為他辦了各生日派對,
在布里斯本最方便的就是BBQ了,
只要準備食物,爐子燃料等等政府都準備好,
在各大公園或大樓天台天井等等都有現成的烤肉爐,
昨天當然也是BBQ party囉,
主廚是日本同學,今天是日式BBQ囉,
另外一個韓國同學下廚煮了韓國料理請我們,
說實話味道還挺不錯的,

這邊語言學校多是週一入學,所以每週五都有學生結業,
每到週五到處都是慶祝結業BBQ party,
週五下課後各超市都是採買BBQ的人,
由於昨晚是週三,就沒有像週五那樣的採買盛況了。

今天我室友告訴我一個他朋友的笑話,
當她朋友剛來到澳洲沒多久,
有一天他的home媽跟他說這段話
詳細對話我忘了,大意如下
put your sheet on downstairs then I will wash it.
他朋友聽了相當錯愕,
問他另一個室友說,
為什麼home媽要看他的椅子啊,
接著輪到他室友暈倒,
原來他把sheet聽成seat,
把wash聽成watch,
所以變成
put your seat on downstairs then i will watch it.

上周末跟同學租了兩台車去Byron Bay,
這是我第一次在澳洲開車,
澳洲是靠左行駛,駕駛座在右邊,
真的超不習慣,
每次要上車時都走到車子左邊,
不然就是要繫安全帶時看錯邊,
剛開始上路時感覺好怪,車子會亂偏,
打方向燈老是啟動雨刷,
好一陣子才抓到開車的感覺,

Byron Bay之所以有名,
是因為它是澳洲大陸最東邊的海角,
在這海角矗立了一座燈塔,
當我們遠眺海洋時,
發現海豚在水面跳躍,
大家都好興奮,
當然還要到main beach玩水囉,
一天下來又曬更黑了@@,
照片改天整理好放上去囉,

另外網路相本又新增照片了,
有興趣的可以去看看囉。

I moved out again last weekend. This is my third homestay in Brisbane. In my first homestay,

the homestay mother was very kind and cooked well, but I needed to use the internet. There

was no internet, so I had to move out and asked my homestay agent to search for a new

homestay for me. Then they found a new homestay with internet access.

Living in my second homestay has been my worst experience during my stay in Brisbane. There

were 10 students in the homestay and we shared two bath rooms. The homestay parents just

wanted to earn money from students. I think it’s more like a homestay hotel. If we wanted

to use the washing machine, we had to pay money. Every student paid AU $30 per month to use

the internet but we shared an internet line which also had quota limits. Is the internet so

expensive in Brisbane? I don’t think so. If we went home late, they wouldn't keep dinner

for us. They provided instant noodles for us every Friday because they needed to go out with

their friends. Instant noodles are not good for health. We wanted to cook dinner by

ourselves but they didn’t permit us to use the kitchen. The homestay agent told me that I

had lunch on the weekend but I never had. Anyway, there were so many bad experiences at my

2nd homestay. I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I asked my friend to find a new homestay for

me.

Fortunately, my friend found the new homestay near Garden city shopping center. I told my

homestay agent that I wanted to move out. When he heard about the homestay situation, he was

very shocked. The homestay parents were very angry with me because I let the agent know the 

situation. They told me they could kick me out immediately. I had already imformed them one

week earlier and paid the rent. They couldn’t kick me out and didn’t dare do it. But the

week was a very long week for me.

In the new homestay, the homestay mother is from China but the father is Australian so we

also speak English at home. What is most important is that I can often eat Chinese food and

sometimes Australian food. In this homestay, I have a friendly homestay family, 3 meals a

day, free internet and so on. I think everything in this homestay is better than the 2nd

homestay. I think I don’t need to move out again.

好一陣子沒更新了
懶病犯了@@
這邊網路有流量管制
打從上週就超過了
所以網路也停了一星期ORZ

這陣子下課後都跟兩位韓國同學混到別的學校,
VIVA是一間新的規模頗大的語言學校,
我們混進去打桌球,
我們學校沒他們大只好摸進人家學校囉,

上週末我們三個甚至跑去參加viva的Moreton Island兩天行程,
一樣兩天Moreton Island之旅,我們學校貴了近70澳幣,
只好參加人家學校的行程囉,
Moreton Island全島由沙所構成,
據說沙的種類達數十種,
我們住的飯店前面就是一大片沙灘,
這度假飯店可進行各種的活動,
在這玩了sand boarding,
就是人趴在一塊板子上從很高很高的沙丘滑下來,
還挺刺激的,
還拿小魚餵海豚,不是把於丟的遠遠的給海豚吃,
而是餵的海豚就在身邊,
海豚還在我腳邊磨蹭,
anyway,改天在整理照片放上來囉。
