Holiday

Back from a week in Australia. It was a better trip then I expected cause I've been there three times and wasnt expecting much plus i didnt like the place cause i've had the impression that they were a racist country. But this trip was great and here's a few fotos...





























































First stop, the beautiful Blue mountains. These fotos taken at Katoomba where we rented a townhouse to stay. The weather was obviously very cold cause it was early winter. They call it the blue mountains cause when you look at the mountains, its suppose to be blue. All this Sightseeing, something which we seriously are deprived of in Spore.
Anyway, talking abt racism, I was watching a tv programme there and the Australians did a survey on race.They put 4 women of different ethnic origin on the same street and made them flag for taxis. The 4 different races were namely Anglo, Aboriginal, Asian and Muslim. In abt ten times, the taxis all stopped for the Anglo and the cabs only stopped only once or twice for the Chinese lady cause the cab driver himself was chinese. The news station did a survey and showed that 25% of aussies were Anti-Asian, abt 26% were Anti-Aboriginal but the highest was Anti-Muslim at 60%. Fortunately, I didnt experience any of tt during the trip.
So we spent three days at the blue mountains and had to leave for sydney.
