Well, after 35 hours of traveling I made it to Brisbane, Australia on Friday here, Thursday back home. The planes were uneventful, but the 13 hour flight to Tokyo was not Fun. I flew from Atlanta to Chicago and had a Layover there, I needed to go back through security for the international flight. It would have been uneventful but I was lucky to be chosen for the random security check. As the TSA agent described it, they will go through everything I have. I didn't think it would be that bad until they asked me when my flight left. When I said it was in 2 hours, they replied "we will have to hurry then". I made it through with all of my things, and after that the trip was pretty uneventful.
Australia is quite fun. I am staying at a type of uni housing in which it is all people my age. Yesterday I went to Byron Bay, a beachy hippie town south of the gold coast for the day to hang out, then stopped off in Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast. In Byron bay we walked on the beach and went to a gorgeous Light house, and the most Easterly point on the mainland of Australia. We had a bite to eat then went to a few bars before coming home. Everyone here is nice, and is easy going. I have noticed a few differences, like the have Tyres on their cars not tires, and you cook on a Barby not a Grill. I have some good photos and will get them up next week. As for now tomorrow I am going to try to take a bus to see a friend south of Brisbane and then on Tuesday morning I will fly to the Solomons to start work. I hope all is well in the states and will get more up soon.
