Southbank

Haven't wrote for a while... have been super busy with the first week of school! I thought the time would never come...

Decided to go to Southbank last Saturday for a relaxing day. Southbank is amazing. It's like a large Granville Island, but we happened to go on a Saturday so there was a huge market set up, selling lots of cool things. Funny thing is that when my parents were in town... we stayed at a hotel about 3 blocks away... but we'd always walk downtown because we didn't know there was anything around us. Turns out we were staying right beside my new favorite place in Brisbane! There used to be a manmade beach there... but unfortunately it was ruined by the floods. Still, there is lots of grass, tons of ice cream places and a large shining sun creating the perfect environment for a relaxing day. We went and grabbed some slushies and some popcorn and found a great spot on the grass.

There was live music playing from the restaurants near by, but we thought it was maybe karaoke because it sounded like people were singing the songs. Just overall a great environment.  Unfortunately there were a few ibis birds around. I had to guard my popcorn.

Our Grass Field 

Considering we were lying down... I didn't really have a great view of the surrounding area... so we had to jump up and look around at every noise. I was in a vulnerable position and the ibis sensed that. I refuse to let the ibis win. We only stayed for a couple of hours... as we had to get back to get ready for the BRISBANE ROARS SEMI FINAL SOCCER GAME! (A night that deserves its own post!)

I LOVE UQ!
