Brisbane. Worth seeing?
I went out again the next night with a group of girls from the hostel and one of Aude's friends, a Canadian girl called Chantelle. I started off the night by scooping a bottle of rose wine before we headed out to a bar called GPO where Paul, a friend of Chantelle's, was DJing. We drank there until he finished his set before heading out with Paul and his friends to a few other bars. That night was a good laugh because there were quite a few of us.
Since then I've been searching for work, doing a little of jogging (it's nice by the river at night) and just generally trying to get a feel for this place. I've also moved to a slighlty cheaper hostel just around the corner from Bunk called the Prince Consort.
Out of all the cities in Australia Brisbane seems to have polarzied the opinions of the people that I've met that have been here more than any other city. I'm not convinced of the grammar in that last sentence but what I mean was that about half the people I've met love the place and the other half thought it was a bit of a nothing city.
I'm undecided. The weather's certainly warmer and drier up here than it was down in Adelaide. I don't think the daily maximum temperature has dropped below 20C since I arrived. The river's nice, there are plenty of shops and cinemas and other places to go but I don't think there's anything here that is definitely worth seeing.
Hopefully I'll find a job soon and in time find the reason others love this place.
