Passing Through Brisbane


Here we have the Brisbane River looking all innocent in the stretch along the Central Business District. It looked.....ahemmm.....dirty! There are few tell-tale signs that just 2 months ago, it was pandemonium because the river burst its banks and surged homes and commercial spaces, not to mention the collateral damage caused in worst-hit areas in Grantham and Ipswich.

It's certainly a picturesque city. The walking speed here is, ummm....even slower, especially so when juxtaposed with the crazy schedule I'm keeping. There is still an outlet of Borders here! But I'd rather hang out at Dymocks and get stuff from there. Borders have never appealed to me anyhow.

This has got to be the most pleasant stop in Australia, in terms of focus, vibes and productivity. It was slightly less stressful for me. In between all the meetings, I managed to grab a flat white from Merlo Coffee. Hurhurhur.
