booo to taxi drivers

23rd June...well after a pretty good weekend which i will talk about first! actually i forgot to mention that last weekend we went to a bar called horse and jockey for claire's bday which was pretty good! everyone got pretty drunk coz drinks are super cheap. the night was definitely an icebreaker between all the internationals... haha anyways last weekend we went to pub 17 which was pretty good but it's a hell american pub with hot waitresses with their tans and hair trying to get guys to buy more drinks. but the talent was pretty good. i think we would have a way better time at pub 17 if the music was abit better..more or less the night was way more tamed than the weekend before!

while trying to get a taxi back which we waited for 30 mins for. we encountered the worst taxi driver ever!!! the driver first wanted $100 for the trip which is a major rip off as it only took us $35 for a maxi taxi to get there. secondly he had no idea where he was going! so much for a taxi driver!...as i'm pretty sure its part of their job description. he then asked us for directions like" which exit should i get off?" ...wtf.. well noone really knew and we were all too pissed to care. we then had to get directions from a gas station, which he forgot...he didn't want to call anyone coz i reckon he knew he would be in big trouble if he did!

it took us an hour and a half to get home instead of 15 mins. man i wish i took a pic of him because he is one f***ed up guy! the swedish guys still had energy to run around in their boxers in rthym to venga boys, i was buggered!

24th June...went for a morning swim coz i was still buzzing from the night before.. but then got caught in the rong time and place because we then had to make lane ropes in the hot hot heat with a mjor hang over. well wasn't that bad but it's still pretty shit when u have to work on ya day off. after lunch we decided to spend the day at the palastein mall which is the 3rd biggest shopping mall in america. all the guys were too hung over so it was just tori, sarah, maia and i.

we waited 45 mins for the stupid taxi when they said 10 -15mins. we actually had to call another one and the second one that we called came first. ugh. the driver almost killed me while making a 3 point turn which took forever because he was trying to open his drink. his radio sucked big time and then he puts his like latino music on and started singing! not just soft singing, like loud singing! then he pulls out a massive deep fried chiken drumstick out of nowhere and starts hacking into it! tori was in the passengers seat and the look she gave me was classic! hahahah i lost it by then. all the taxis in the area are so beaten up and gross! and they take their bloody time to pick us up! argh

the mall was pretty big and has pretty much everything! it's pretty good but yeh not too fussed about shopping atm coz i will have to carry everything around the country so will save shopping for later i think! but vic secret is having a summer sale and their stuff is hot! i rate it!
the highlight was i had wendy's!!! and no it's not the ice cream shop! i rate the chicken nuggets!!!! yuuuuuuuuummmmy! the taxi we caught back was pretty good! we definitely got his card for future reference!

one week down

well all week we have been getting the camp ready before kids arrive which meant cleaning the pool for us everyday and lifeguard training. until i got sick on tues and weds...we have to wear that stupid tube thing that u see in movies when we are life guarding ALL the time!! it looks so stupid and it's so bloody big! anyways i'm getting majorly brown! haha it's awesome here coz we don't have a massive hole in the ozone layer so u just tann and don't burn! wohoo


thursday we got a day off and everyone got driven into manhattan in the big yellow school bus! haha. i spent the most of the day with a freo chick = maia, austrian=martina and swedish= marianne. we are all the swim people for the summer! we got dropped off at lincoln square and made our way down through times square to get some food. after that we caught the subway which is so bloody dodgy and dirty! don't expect anything like the mrt haha.

we arrived at chinatown... and omg it was a different world... it has illegal immigrants written all over it! hahaha it's pretty cool coz there was heaps of cheap stalls and even maccas signage was in chinese and starbucks was amzing. the interior was like an old chinese building..really kool. even the stalls down here were different. instead of selling hotdogs and pretzels, there were wontons and fried squid! haha after that made our way down to little italy which was pretty kool too. had heaps of restuarants and gelato!!! we just went through it pretty much so we can reach soho!! soho is like shopping central. with your major brands and cheap stuff too! victoria secret is shaving a summer sale but by the time u queue to get in, everything will be gone! it was so bloody busy! i didn't do much shopping coz then i will have to carry it around the whole country so shopping will have to wait til i'm back!

we left to empire state building to meet up with the boys for some drinks. when we got there it was pretty clear that they been drinking the whole day. typical of guys huh, come all the way to nyc and drink! omg. maia and i left for some food and we went into this food deli thing where u can myo anything. almost. i had the worst pasta ever! maia was awesome because the bloody mexcian dude had a crush on her and wanted her to come again tommorow. haha we went back for a couple more. i had apricot ale which pretty nice!

we had to make our way back to lincoln centre and we only had 40 mins left to walk it!...and then it rains, actually pours down, with lightening and thunder! we were all drenched! and still had like 20 blocks to walk down! haha but we thought it was pretty funny acfter hacing a couple!
then the bus was running late, when it arived, it had a flat tyre on the freeway and we had to wait under a bridge or shall i say some homeless guy's home. finally dave and vic picked us up and we got home at 1! instead of 10. it was pretty fun day though!

best bit of the day was i bought a pashmere scarf for $2!!! so cheap and i love it! the funny thing is that marianne bought 2 scarfs for $12! haha she got ripped off in china town as well! haha man she's not going to do very well haha
