I had a good opportunity to spend some time in Gold Coast, Australia recently. Here are my observertions:
- Contrary to popular belief (and The Biggest Loser Australia advertisement fact), 46% of Australians in Gold Coast, particularly of the female kind, are not overweight
- I noted an unusually high concentration of girls which I would deem attractive, walking around Gold Coast.
- And yes, there are a high number of girls walking around in bikinis. Much to my visual delight
- As far as I noticed, there is a higher concentration of expensive cars (Mercedes, BMWs, Porches, and funky convertible sports cars)
- Also, there are a lot of shops with horrible spelling and usage of grammar. I had nearly wanted to wipe off a sign that says “TOMATOE 50c Ea” in the market.
- The most interesting number plate I’ve seen so far: “Kia Ora” on a Kia Carnival. If you don’t know what it means, it’s Maori for “Welcome” or “good health”.
- Driving around the Gold Coast topless isn’t an offence.
Conclusions:
- Gold Coast probably have richer people than surrounding cities.
- But also, the rich-poor disparity is quite large - evidenced by the horrible usage of English. Gold Coast is populated by mostly anglo-white caucasians (where English is supposed to be the first language). Horrible usage of English means poor education, which can mean their financial situation isn’t too good.
- Gold Coast is a place where you can feast your eyes.
Cool?

So there’s sexy women, driving topless isn’t an offence, plenty of girls, they’re rich…
BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!
They can’t spell?
I like!
I take their inability to spell as a signal that education level is low.
^Says a guy that STILL can’t spell “observations” correctly, despite having it pointed out to him (blame it on the plane, pfft)… haha ‘lyk w0t3v$’.
I could add a few more but eh… haha.
Btw, le idioto EL-o rang me today. Asking if I wanted to move out earlier or still wanted to leave in March… because they have someone who wants to move in during February. How does ‘get effed’ sound? Thankfully I signed my contract last year. =/
Heh.. “Observertions” is a sign of me subverting normal spelling. You know, viva la revolucione! LOL.
I see you got Alan and my messsage
Yeah I got them. Pissed me off all the more to then get that phone call. So glad I checked my account today and wondered why DEFT hadn’t gone through… and remembered it was because last week was the last payment I’d set it to. I couldn’t find my number either so had to call them for it (they just gave to me haha no questions). So now that payment is set up again, they can’t screw me out of my room that way. (^_^)
Driving topless = accident waiting to happen (other guys on the road get distracted, lol)

Nope. None so far. Just… normal stuff, topless driving.
