huwaaat? babae nagpapaupo sa guy? parang di ko yata kaya yan tingnan parang napaka-ungentlemanly (if there's such a word). hehehehe.
eto din OT: sa japan naman sa train din. nakaupo ako tapos may sumakay na matanda na andaming dala. tumayo ako agad para paupuin sya pero tumanggi sya at pinagtinginan ako ng mga tao. i really felt awkward but what can i say i just want to offer my seat. so ang ginawa ko na lang di na ako umupo. so yung naging scenario is magkaharap kaming nakatayo hanggang sa bumaba ako. nyahahahahaha! :-P

Share ko naman yung experience ko nung ng-tour ako sa Sydney and Melbourne, pansin ko lang mga driver ng nasakyan kong tour bus, strikto at masyadong particular sa time. Saka nakakatuwa kasi yung driver sya rin yung tour guide, so habang nagd-drive nagkkwento sya. Yung bus driver namin papuntang Mt. Buller, ang sungit, nung papunta pa lang kami ng morning, may 2 bata na nakaupo sa harapan tas nag-greet sa kanya ng 'hi', tas tinignan nya lang sabay sabing "kids are not allowed to sit in front of the bus', takbuhan yung mga bata sa likuran ng bus. Hindi pa pwede kumain sa loob ng bus kasi mangangamoy daw, although sandwhich and coffee ok lang. Nung nagpunta naman ako ng Blue Mountain, we arrived there around pass12 na then meeting time namin pauwi was 2 pm. E medyo late na ko to take the lunch siguro 30 mins before 2 pa ko nagpunta ng resto, so akala ko just like any other tour na they woudl wait for you pag na-late ka ng 10-15 minutes. Grabe, hindi ko pa natatapos ang food ko sinundo na ko ng bus driver sa resto, ako na lang daw hinihintay. Sabi ko pwee bang uminom muna, sagot sa kin "no'. :-(( Yung airport driver naman ng sinakyan ko from my hostel in Sydney CBD to airport, me kasungitan din, kasi late na sya nagpunta sa place namin e' flight ko to Gold Coast was 10:30, pinick-up nya ko 9:30 na tas umikot pa sya sa CBD area, asked ko sya if makakarating ba kami ng airport before 10, sagot sa kin "No, what do you think, you only paid 14 bucks.....nalimutan ko na yung ibang sinabe nya. Tameme tuloy ako. Then asked ko na lang if aaabot ba ko sa flight ko, oo daw, kasi 30 mins lang daw ang required checj-in time....Nakupo, pagdating ko ng airport late na ko, hindi na ko pinapasok ng Tiger Airways, :-(( So I had to make a quick and sensible decision, kesa mag-stay ako ng night sa Sydney, mahirap maghanap ng hostel for 1 night, and masasayang naman yung booking ko for a night sa Gold Coast at ganun din naman I still had to buy another ticket to GC, so I decided to catch the flight to GC using other airline, bili ako ng ticket sa Virgin Airline, grabe sa mahal, 250 bucks for one way. :-(( :-(( :-((

More on bus experience...
1. Yung bus sa amin may sign na "No Eating / No Drinking". May pinay na sumakay dala McDo fries and drinks. Reminder ni driver bawal kumain sa loob, so binalik ni pinay ang food sa brown paper bag tapos umupo sa likod.
After about 5 minutes tumigil ang bus at kinausap ni driver si ale. Naaamoy kasi yung fries sa buong bus, so huli na kumakain pa rin. Ayun pinababa, sabi just take the next bus - which is 1 hour wait kasi weekend yun.
2. One time din konti lang kaming sakay, pinababa yung 2 medyo batang mag bf na naka-upo sa pinalikuran. Nakita kasi ni driver sa video na may "ginagawa" sila. I have to say very discreet naman yung driver, halos pabulong kinausap yung mga bata. Wala silang idea Big Brother is watching.

just this lunch time.. punta ko melbourne central mall. tambay lang, ikot ikot. hehehe. tapos dun na din ko nag lunch. tapos nung pababa ko ng escalator..may dalawang pinay (alam ko pinay ang lakas ng boses magkwentuhan e. hehehe.) so sila nauuna sa escalator.. ang problem lang, nakaharang sila.. diba kasi dapat give way, kung hindi ka nagmamadali dapat stay ka sa left para makadaan yung mga nagmamadali sa right side. e kasi yung melbourne central train station nasa loob ng mall, nasa underground. so yung iba hinahabol yung sched nila ng train. hindi maipinta yung mga kasabay ko sa likod na mga puti at ibang lahi.. pero hindi naman nila inapproach yung dalawang pinay na pagsabihan. tapos ng nakababa na ng escalator.. balak ko sana sabihan yung dalawang pinay na about dun, kaso bilis maglaho, hehehe. e ma-late na din ko sa train station ko. ayun lang. naisip ko na lang siguro bagong dating lang sila dito or baka wala talaga pake. hehehe.

Pansin ko lang sa mga Aussie nung nandoon ako, mahilig silang maglakad. When I met my Aussie friend, he suggested me to just walk from CBD to Hide Park, lakad naman ako ok naman, good exercise din although may kalayuan, then nung namamasyal na kami around Harbour Bridge,The Rocks, etc. puro lakad lang ginawa namin, nakakapagod na hindi na nakakatuwa. Then nung naghiwalay na kami papunta naman ako ng Royal Botanical Garden, he even told me to just walk, in my mind gusto ko sumalampak sa bangketa at maupo, oo lang ako sa kanya pero pagpasok ko ng Royal Botanical at nakita ko yung Chuchu train, kahit $10 pa sya, sumakay na ko. Tapos pag-uwi naman ang patayan sa lakad, hindi ko kasi alam ano sasakyang bus pabalik sa hostel ko at wala rin akong transpo card. Naka-1 oras yata akong kakalakad pabalik sa hostel ko. Nawala na ko sa direksyon buti na lang yung mga napagtatanungan ko ginagamit pa yung GSP sa phone nila just to find out if malapit na ko sa pupuntahan ko. Ang sakit ng paa ko pagbalik ko sa tinutuluyan ko.
@gemini23 May mga nakasabay kaming kumakain pa ng sandwiches and meatpie habang naglalakad sa street. Ang bibilis nang lakad kailangan huwag humarang sa escalator.

haha @LokiJr tama ka dyan! one time naglolokohan sila dito na pag gumamit ng tinidor sa meat pie eh makukulong. nagkataon kumakain ako nun at nilagay ko sa platito at gumamit ako ng tinidor dahil hirap pa ako kainin. natawa sila nung humirit ako na ikulong nyo na ako (sabay turo sa tinidor) hehehe
sanayan nyo na tinidor lang gamitin nyo kahit may rice at hanggat maari kaliwang kamay ipanghawak sa tinidor.

1. Yung bus sa amin may sign na "No Eating / No Drinking". May pinay na sumakay dala McDo fries and drinks. Reminder ni driver bawal kumain sa loob, so binalik ni pinay ang food sa brown paper bag tapos umupo sa likod.
After about 5 minutes tumigil ang bus at kinausap ni driver si ale. Naaamoy kasi yung fries sa buong bus, so huli na kumakain pa rin. Ayun pinababa, sabi just take the next bus - which is 1 hour wait kasi weekend yun.
2. One time din konti lang kaming sakay, pinababa yung 2 medyo batang mag bf na naka-upo sa pinalikuran. Nakita kasi ni driver sa video na may "ginagawa" sila. I have to say very discreet naman yung driver, halos pabulong kinausap yung mga bata. Wala silang idea Big Brother is watching.
