I AM YOUR TRAVEL AGENT...
I have degrees in meteorology, mind reading and also speak perfect African if YOU get into trouble on the African Tribal Tour I booked for YOU. Sure it's no problem to give YOU seven connecting non-smoking, ocean view rooms with two beds in each room. And of course it’s my fault that the hotel lobby smells bad for YOU.
I AM YOUR TRAVEL AGENT...
Sure its obvious to me when YOU book your flight for Friday, YOU really mean Saturday. And when YOU say Ritz Hotel London, YOU really mean Hilton Hotel Paris. I deeply regret I cant upgrade YOU to first class cus its your birthday and apologise for your unpleasant flight to Canada on Borat Airlines. Even though YOU wanted the cheap ticket, its still my fault YOU wont pay more for a good airline.
I AM YOUR TRAVEL AGENT...
Absolutely I will refund your 3 day Disneyland-Pass cus Mickey Mouse punched YOU in the face after your 6 year old son bitch-slapped his left testicle. And I should have known when YOU requested seat 47A there was a smelly fat man in seat 47B who snored too loud. Of course its my fault that YOU are not entitled a refund cus Thai Airways wont allow your cat in the overhead locker. Clearly I should have known YOU were deaf when I carefully explained the terms and conditions of your flight ticket to YOU.
I AM YOUR TRAVEL AGENT...
I always know where to find YOU the best BBQ restaurants in every city in the world, without spending money. Im happy to work through my lunch break for YOU, and call YOU back in 5 minutes with a price... even though YOU wont travel until next year (maybe), YOU dont know for how many days, YOU dont know how many people, or where YOU want to go. I also accept blame for airline food and that YOU caught aids from your Thai 'girlfriend' in Bangkok. And Im sorry.... NO I dont know how to explain this to your wife. GRRRR my customers.... somtimes just wish I could say FUCK YOU!!!
HATE MY JOB SOMETIMES!

Travel Agents guide to Sydney...
Travel advice is something I'd normally charge good money for. But because I love ya's all... or more to the point... am just trying to take my mind off other shit tonight... here is your own Happy Traveller Guide to Sydney!!! Im sure you've already read the reviews and seen all the brochures. But please... allow me :-p
DO- sit on the LHS of the plane as you're flying into Sydney... you'll get a great view of the city if you approach from the west. For any Americans... that funny shaped white thing is the Opera House. This is where we train our wombats to sing.
DONT- say "Goodday Mate"... seriously its one of those things if you pronounce it wrong you just sound like a special unit. Its "gday mate" (pronounced ged-aay). Say it right and we'll love ya to death :-)
DO- book yourself a city tour... good value in any city. If your American... this is a good time to keep an eye out for Kangaroos bou
ncing around the city. If you're really lucky you may even see one driving a taxi... or having a beer. And for the love of god... will you please learn how to pronounce Melbourne. Honestly whats so hard about it... everyone else can pronounce it properly... its MEL--BURN... not MEL-BOOORN. Cmon sing it with me baby!!!
DO- climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge if you are not scared of heights. Its absolutely fantastic but a real hike to the top. It takes 2 hours from memory and is quiet steep. Be a little careful if you're American though... because we sometimes like to throw you guys off the top of the bridge just for shits and giggle and to amuse ourself
DO- go to Darling Harbour for a night... it is set against the backdrop of the city skyline right on the water and has an uber exciting vibe. There is so much to do... endless street shows, shopping, IMAX, the Aquarium... plus Star City Casino is only a stones throw away. There are a few really good clubs and cocktail lounges (www.pontoonbar.com)
there too if you feel like partying it up Sydney style. I'd highly recommend staying in this part of the city and I'd highly recommend The Novotel @ Darling Harbour for a reasonably priced mid range hotel. It has a perfect location right on the waterfront with Darling Harbours entertainment literally at your doorstep. Plus the hotel has a monorail station (the cylindrical purple thing in the pic) just outside the main lobby
which makes it a great base for exploring the rest of the city. The rooms aren't huge... so if your budget allows it upgrade to a cityview room... they are slightly bigger and have a cosy balcony perfect for an evening nightcap and views of the city skyline you'll never forget.
-----
DO- go to The Rocks if you want a MASSIVE night out... its more hectic than Darling Harbour with plenty of good Pubs and that sort of thing. Cover charge at the door is $10-$15 and its at EVERY pub. But our doorman have been known from time to time to charge $30 for Americans... so my advice to you guys is lie and say your Canadian. There... dont say I dont do anything for ya's LOL
-----
DONT- forget the Botanic Gardens... like anything in Sydney it twists its way around the Harbour and is a great pla
ce to relax for a bit. There are many walking paths you can choose from or you can even ride a bicucle there. Pack a picnic lunch... hire a bicycle and find yourself a big old shady tree
-----
DONT- tip... its honestly not our culture. Barstaff & waitresses are all earning $20 an hour upwards so nobody expects a tip. Exception being if you get exceptionaly good service... or you think the bargirl/barman is uber hot... thats the only time we tip. Of course different rules apply for Americans... for you tipping ettiquiette in Australia is the same as the USA... 10% if you're good looking or 15% if you've been hit with the ugly stick.
----
DO- check out the view from Centrepoint Tower... there is a nice revolving restuarant at the summit for fine diners... dont expect much change from $150 for a seafood buffet. There is also plenty of nice places to grab a bite to eat down on the water near the Opera House
-----
DONT- tell any Steve Irwin jokes... its the only thing we get sensitive about. If you're American and disrespect him then our pet Kangaroos will box your head in. The man is a legend... we all love him to death. He's our version of Ghandi
-----
DONT- ask us how to throw a boomerang... we have no f*$%@* idea. I bought one a few years ago just to see if it'd work... I almost killed 3 people. Only the aborginals know how to throw them. And they wont tell ua LOL
-----
DO- definately definetly do... an evening harbour cruise. The harbour at night is amazing. Think Hon
g Kong... but give it a Aussie flavour and crank up the excitement level 200% and you'll get an idea of what its like. Anyway seeing the city sights from the harbour itself is something special. The boats are sleek and modern and all have huge decks where you can drink and eat the night away while cruising past our most famous sights... you even get to go under the Harbour Bridge. The food is good and theres plenty of drinks and fun to be had Highly recommended :-)
-----
DO- if you have a coupla hours to burn and just wanna relax... catch a train across the
Harbour Bridge to Milsons Point... its the first station after the bridge on the north side of the city. Wander outside to the grassed area directly under the Harbour Bridge. There is a little Italian Pizza shop there... grab a girl... preferably yours... and a pizza and just relax on the grass at sunset. Its an real peaceful spot... theres hardly any cars there. In fact if I didnt tell you... you'd probably never find it. Its a favourite little spot for us locals to just chill out... nice 'n' relaxing with uninterrupted views of the Opera House plus Luna Park is only a short 2 minute stroll across the road.
-----
DO- check out Bondi Beach... it wont blow your mind for sheer beauty...
trust me we have better. Dont get me wrong... its still a nice beach but Bondi is more than just a beach. Its a awesome part of the city... very laid back with a beach-side promonande that is filled with trendy cafes, cool shops and some really good beer gardens. Us locals go there more to just chill out... if we want to swim we'll go someplace else... theres soo 
many tourists there... backpackers galore. You'll see more cameras on Bondi than bikinis. But please... pretty please with vegemite on top... be careful of the surf. Of course we have the Sharks too... the Great Whites... and yes they can get kinda big... like small car big. But no... we dont fearlessly tackle them in the water... like you we totally shit our pants and swim back to the beach ASAP. Anyhoo they only eat the Americans so everyone else is safe.
-----
DO- try to get out of the city for a coupla nights. If you're after somewhere nice and uber uber relaxing to stay... try a quaint little town called Huskisson... or Husky to us. This IS a nice beach... better than anything you will find in the
city and probably the best beach you've never heard of. Its an easy 2 hour drive south of Sydney and has a gorgeous little town with dolphins in the ocean. There are some cool ice cream cafes... a nice little pub with outdoor beer garden overlooking the ocean... its perfect. Plus you can rent little pedal powered (Flinestones) glass bottom boats and go cruising around the bay. Rent a beach-cabin for the weekend for a nice change of pace from the city.
-----
DONT- forget to drop in and see me on the way back from
Husky for a sunday afternoon BBQ... you cant leave Down Under without having a Barbie and a Beer. I promise I wont put vegemite on your steak... unless of course... need I even say it... you're American. In which case not only will get you get marinated vegemite steak... but also a free ride back to the airport on my pet kangaroo. His name is Fluffy and he smokes cigarettes same as me. I think you will like him... he's a lot nicer than the sharks.
I truly hope that my country extends you the courtesy... and friendliness... that your country has given me over the years :-)

WELCOME TO SYDNEY :-)
Ahhh Screw It....
Im BACK!!! Ok what can I say I missed writing my own blog. Stupid blog. Another f%*&!! modern technology addiction to go along with Facebook and MSN Chat...
Then there was MySpace... remember that? God I was the last of all my friends to join... and then BAM... Facebook comes along. Now there is this Twitter thing too. Plus faxes, emails, phones ARGHHHH its too much! Seriously... can the entire planet please settle on 1 form of cyber-communication and STICK WITH IT.
Sometimes I just feel like moving to a remote mountain village in Mongolia an
d becoming a Yak herder... what an easy life that would be!!! I could spend my days pimping out my Yak instead of my Facebook page... you know give him a mo-hawk... maybe paint him blue or someting. Then sit around a campfire at night with other Yak herders drinking locally brewed wine from fermented Yak shit... and chatting about whatever it is Yak herders like to chat about. Yeah that sounds perfect right about now. Well at least it would be until one of them pulls out their laptop and logs into Facebook... LOL. Ahhhh f'kenell... there is just no escape.
Yeah had a week I wanna forget... pulled a lady from a car-wreck on Saturday night and then a good mate's brothers wife was killed on Sunday. Walking the dog.
Walking the fucking dog.
RIP Kylie
where ever you are.....

Is the 'f word' socially acceptable?
Hmmm... just relaxing at home on Sunday night waiting for the Singapore F1s to start... which will no doubt make me feel homesick. Was gonna write a quick blog on funny named towns... I've heard some classics over the years... Muff, Dildo and Accident come to mind LOL. While I was googling for a funny pic to post... I stumbled across this newspaper article that I found absolutely hilarious.
I really want to travel here so much
But I need a FUCKING MAP!

Last Week...
My best blonde moment last week:
* Losing my toothbrush... then being too lazy to buy a new one... which then led to me cleaning my teeth with my finger... which then led to me feeling the need to post this experience on Facebook
My most embarassing moment last week:
* Accidently walking into a pole in a restaurant filled with people
What shitted me last week:
* Japanese Whalers. Seriously... your whaling due to scientific research routine is getting REALLY f***** old.
Meal I enjoyed the most last week:
* Garlic Prawns.. freshly cooked on the BBQ. Yum :)
What I was most happy with last week:
* Finally getting to 60 sit-ups... without cheating
Next post I will try to make interesting....

Funny Signs
Some of the signs Ive seen in my travels have had me on the verge of losing all bowel control... esp the Thai ones. They are SOOOOO funny cus they aren't actually intended to be funny... its just the Thai style of writing can make you giggle like an idiot. My last trip to Thailand, I was sitting at a bar having dinner with my friend Nick. I wanted a coke. So looking at the menu... this is what we see:
SMALL COCK: 30 baht
LARGE COCK: 50 baht
DIET COCK: 50 baht
We couldn't stop laughing for 10 minutes... clearly I ordered a Sprite instead ;)
GOODNIGHT WORLD :-)

Year of the Tiger- 1974
CHINESE ZODIAC: THE TIGER
One of the most dynamic signs in the Chinese Zodiac, Tigers are fascinating. They are patient but hot-tempered, calm but naughty, free spirits but fiercely loyal. Tigers are always well-liked by others and easily earn the respect of friends with their natural gift of enthusiasm. This endless supply of energy can make Tigers very impulsive and their care free nature can sometimes lead them into trouble. What makes Tigers such magnetic people is the absolute loyalty and affection they show for people they love. Tigers are fearless when standing up for others and will accept any challenge if it means protecting somebody they love or protecting their honour. They don’t worry about who wins or loses because Tigers know they will always land on their feet. But don’t let their calm appearance fool you.... Tigers will bite when they feel its necessary. They will never give up on life. Even if there is only one spark left, a Tiger will try to make it fire their life. Their spirits never die and they always lift the spirits of even the most lonely people they meet. Because of this Tigers have no problem making new friends. Like the Dragon and the Monkey, Tigers are most comfortable around friends and family. They will be completely honest about how they feel but demand the same of you. Friends are always welcome in a Tigers home and are always greeted with a smile, an ear, a tissue, an open mind and an open wallet. Few friends could be as caring, affectionate, as quirky and surprising, or as genuinely interested as the Tiger friend. They are spontaneous lovers who never lose their creative spark or flare for an evening of passion. They offer their partner a hint of danger and show a curiosity for the unknown. Tigers are full of enthusiasm and sentiment, so falling in love with a Tiger will bring you lots of memorable experiences. They like to travel long distances conquering thrills and fears along the way. Never the homebody, Tigers prefer activity and excitement but can easily be coaxed into relaxing by the ocean with a book. They leave on a whim and return when they are ready to plan their next holiday. Tigers are not motivated by money or power; and will only do things because they enjoy them. Some suitable careers for Tigers include: artist, travel agent, writer, pilot, comedian or flight attendant.

They will never give up on life. Even if there is only one spark left, a Tiger will try to make it fire their life. Their spirits never die and they always lift the spirits of even the most lonely people they meet. Because of this Tigers have no problem making new friends. Like the Dragon and the Monkey, Tigers are most comfortable around friends and family. They will be completely honest about how they feel but demand the same of you. Friends are always welcome in a Tigers home and are always greeted with a smile, an ear, a tissue, an open mind and an open wallet. Few friends could be as caring, affectionate, as quirky and surprising, or as genuinely interested as the Tiger friend. They are spontaneous lovers who never lose their creative spark or flare for an evening of passion. They offer their partner a hint of danger and show a curiosity for the unknown. Tigers are full of enthusiasm and sentiment, so falling in love with a Tiger will bring you lots of memorable experiences. They like to travel long distances conquering thrills and fears along the way. Never the homebody, Tigers prefer activity and excitement but can easily be coaxed into relaxing by the ocean with a book. They leave on a whim and return when they are ready to plan their next holiday. Tigers are not motivated by money or power; and will only do things because they enjoy them. Some suitable careers for Tigers include: artist, travel agent, writer, pilot, comedian or flight attendant.

Huh??? Go to sleep... NOW!!
You know what... due to sleep deprivation Im in one of those playfully stupid moods... honestly a bomb could go off beside me tonight and I wouldnt care less. Hmmm what to write about?
I did have a really good idea for a post... but I'm too spasticated to think of it. Probably, I will remember it long after my head has just hit the pillow tonight. Awwww dont you just hate mind blanks. Like when you're chatting to a mate on the phone and you cant remember the name of a actor in a movie... even though you KNOW who was in the movie. And then of course the moment you hang up the phone... BANG... you remember!! And then you really really need to call your mate back and yell out 'Hey I've got it... it was Hugh Jackman!!' What else can I write about.... hmmm sleeping when its raining... LOVE IT!! Actually I try hard to stay awake just to listen to the rain on the roof. But falling asleep always seems to ruin the experience.
Hmmm I've got a sudden desire to delete this post cus its just too stupid for anybody to understand. LOL honestly I don't care. Ok... going to bed... this post is going down fast. Ooooh wait you know what... I was going to write about Emirates and their innovative stars on the cabin roof they have on-board their aircraft. But somehow that didn't eventuate and everything in this post has just gone to absolute shit. Screw it LOL.... I'll just post the pic instead
Im gonna DELETE this in the morning!!

Life is like a Box of Chocolates
Cus you never know what you're going to get. Right Mr Gump??
Last night my friends were chatting about famous quotes. The one that came to mind was 'YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE'. I believe it just means life is precious... that you can't come back a second time to chase your dreams.
We can never get a moment back. Sure its only a moment... a fraction of time in a life. But they are moments you can never re-live again. So why not enjoy them... then maybe those truly extra special moments will seem... well extra extrodinary :-)
We all get power fro something in life. I get my power from fear... the fear of looking back many years from now when Im a smelly old man who has regrets about his life. Failure doesnt scare me... but not trying hard enough does.
What gives you POWER?
