*~Greetings from Brisbane~*
I'm here! Brisbane!!! After a pretty harrowing and lonely flight. My butt still have nightmares from the flight..sandwiched between 2 guys... getting to the toilet was an adventure.. I hate crowded flights. blah.
My trip here? Nothing short of an adventure. Its the first time i'm flying alone..and I get to navigate my way alone to the domestic airport from the International airport via airtrain. It was fun. ^^ Figuring things out for yourself.
Even on a trip alone all by myself..I could actually feel God's hand of protection..His cover of favor. Protection is obvious... ^^ Somehow in a so foreign country..I can feel pretty much at home and not terribly homesick..yet. ^^ Favor comes in subtle, yet amazing ways. Everybody dreads going through declaration in Aussie.. esp fo people like me who seldom go by, we do not know what to expect. Basically, if you declare something, you're required to go thru some baggage scanning.. or if they suspect you of indeed carrying bad stuff they needs more checking, they put u straight through to open baggage checking. and i ended in....open baggage checking. duh. Maybe I was looking a little too blur. what can u expect from a girl who just got through a lonely flight.. with less then an hour of sleep.duh. I felt positively 'little' at the airport. (Having to squeeze thru the mob to lug my baggage off the baggage claim area and getting unbalanced cos it was so heavy.... )
Anyways, back to it.. the 'open baggage queue' was the longest and slowest of them all. You see Indians with their outrageously huge packages.. chinese from china with equally huge packages..and I start to think.. 'where on earth do I fit in here..?!' All i had to declare was a packet of instant noodles..>.<>.< but I'm not gonna die anytime soon!! I love it here so far.. but I miss home.. I miss the people.. I miss the food.I'm so glad God's coming along.. I will never be ALONE.. ^^ Im still really touched by the crowd thou... we gave Popeys some serious business! I love u guys! Hugs alll around!
