First days... Disaster struck!!

Nothing too bad, but thought the title will be good marketing.:)

Most of you will probably have good laugh about this:), but I couldn't go and see the Australia vs West Indies match at The Gabba in Brisbane. A thing I was really looking forward to when coming to Oz. The following text may very well sound a bit "Chinese" for those of you not familiar with the game, but I still have to let it out!! (you can skip it, but it should be funny when you think you talk the language you're reading and still don't understand it in parts)

Those imbeciles (bar Barath who scored a century on debut) from the Carribean managed to lose the Test match inside 3 days!!! (remember this is supposed to be a 5 day match) Not even England are capable of giving up 15 wickets in one day! We were joking with Jake that we might have to go on Saturday as the WI already lost 5 wickets on the second day. But since Ponting hardly ever enforces the follow-on and the second test up on Friday already, surely he would rest the bowlers. And surely Chanderpaul wouldn't go cheaply in the second innings, not to mention Bravo getting out to Mike Hussey(!!!! - I don't even rate him as a part-time bowler, its like Trescothick getting the wicket of a Pakitani batsman many years back) hooking the over before Tea... Ah never mind! I might still be able to go to a state match on the 9th of December, unless it washes out...:)

Otherwise its 30-35 degrees.:) I spare a thought for those in Europe languishing under 5-10 degrees celsius.:) Had a night out with Lewis and the Gang in Fortitude Valley Brisbane. Its a really cool scene, with clubs everywhere (egymás hegyén-hátán - softer moment;)) and loads and loads of people. They do have dress code at some places which sometimes borders on the ridiculous. People who had "Quicksilver" or "Fox" written on them were turned back at "Birdee Num Num"... I guess they hated skaters and surfers....

Went to the rock pools today, which is basically going to a rocky beach with freshwater and smell of barbecue.:) Its all chilling at the moment. Tomorrow we're off to Byron Bay...
