silver Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 It occurs to me that a lot of the things mentioned in the first post won't mean much to many of the newer Mikamites - I suggest you read some of the early Aussie threads and you'll see what weirdos outstanding citizens there were around then.

nico_collard Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) I'm so sorry I disappeared for a while guys, hope you didn't miss me too much! HAHAHA omg I never thought of Parc Des Princes ripping off Luna Park but I totally see what she means Once you see it you can't unsee it. I'm sure it's the 23rd already in Australia, so Happy Birthday nico_collard Have a great day, Tegan Happy Birthday Teegs Have a good one!! Thanks guys! I had a fantastic day, until the night time. Will talk about the holiday in the next post. I'm excited for Samuel's potential future sibling(s)! Congratulations x3! I have a feeling the shows were 18+ but can't remember for sure? Oh my goodness! That brings back memories! Do you still have these videos? How is everyone?! My news for the last few months: I gained a niece (Grace ) and became an aunt! We bought a house - we settle next week and will move in at the end of the month! I am starting a PhD next year! Ambrose met his human-cousin for the first time last week! Or, more precisely, Grace met him and he didn't at all notice that there was a living baby directly in front of his face. Absolutely zero acknowledgement Potential future siblings will happen eventually. Thanks! The Enmore show was all ages. I know that cause one of the Aussies from Canberra brought her 9 year old. The Forum one was def 18+ though, any show I've been to there has been 18+ (the young Hanson fans cracked it when they couldn't go ). Yay for all your news! How's the house going? In the Opera House too I cannot handle myself if that is true sjdhkjsadhasjakjs Yeah, back when they were still doing Australian Idol. I really think he could do a great show at the Opera House. He played outside the Opera house, but only a couple of songs: My PhD will be about using a particular machine to monitor plankton in the Swan River (the main river which runs through Perth). The machine takes photos of the microscopic plants and animals in the water and then you can program it to automatically identify them. There's only a few of this machine in Australia and I'll be the only person in WA who knows how to use it! This video shows the machine: OMG, watching that vid brought back so many memories of our trip in '09. I miss all you guys! Oh, wow. Hi tech equipment! And here is my new house! Nice! In my experience, most students dedicated their spare time to drinking Definitely I remember hearing that the paramedics students in my friend's accommodation tried to (drunkenly) insert an IV in their arms for alcohol. It occurs to me that a lot of the things mentioned in the first post won't mean much to many of the newer Mikamites - I suggest you read some of the early Aussie threads and you'll see what weirdos outstanding citizens there were around then.

It seems HILARIOUS and I wish they were back here But its true, if only Mika came back.. he has many fans but because its not reflected in sales and social media, he doesnt come I think you would've fitted in well. We corrupted many a teenage fan Oh, and I saw this recently - The Aussie U2 fans are bitching cause they're planning a tour celebrating The Joshua Tree album and they're only doing select places in the US and Europe this year: Edited January 12, 2017 by nico_collard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nico_collard Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) So, as everyone knows we went to Darwin in October. We ended up having the greatest time and we'd love to go back. Some of the highlights were: - Going to Crocosaurus Cove and getting up close and personal with Axel the Crocodile in the cage of death. Scary but totally worth it! - Holding baby crocs at Crocosaurus Cove and Crododylus Park. Crocosaurus Cove was in the main street and had lots of fish, reptiles and (obviously) crocodiles. What was good about it was that there was an area where there were smaller crocs and they had a perspex wall and kids could swim in there (the cage of death was for 16 and over). Crocodylus Park had other animals and they sold croc meat (they farmed crocs for meat). - Going on a croc jumping cruise and seeing a massive big alpha male (approx. 65 y.o., over 5m long and over 700kg). The boat only could seat 20 people and the walls of the boat were like a grille and were were told not to stick hands out the boat, not to all go on one side and to only walk along the gangway to and from the boat two at a time. - Visiting the museum and seeing the stuffed body of a local crocodile (his name was Sweetheart and he died in the 70's - he was attacking fishermen so they tried to catch him but he got tangled in the ropes and drowned), going through the Cyclone Tracey exhibit (very confronting, especially the audio room of the actual storm) and checking out an indigenous art exhibit - Feeding local fish (pricewise not worth it but Samuel liked feeding the fish). - Mindil sunset markets (we went every Thurs and Sun we were there). Awesome food, beautiful view and lots of cool stalls. There was even two indigenous men in a band, one played the didgeridoo and the other played the drums. - Checking out WW1 and WW2 exhibits and the old gaol. One was a place on the wharf that had a VR headset there and showed you what it would've looked like when the Japanese bombed the harbour as well as some info on some of the Americans that were in the harbour. There was also a museum that had old vehicles and equipment from WW1, WW2 and Vietnam, as well as a video depicting what it would've looked like when Darwin was bombed (wasn't the smartest idea cause there were strobe lights and they make me feel weird - Of course I only realised it made me feel the same as I do during an EEG after I watched it *facepalm*). The gaol was good, though a little spooky at times (Derek could sense an indigenous man standing nearby - he died there by hanging. Actually, 8 out of the last 10 people to be executed there were either Asian or Aboriginal, the other two were from Europe and killed a taxi driver). - Sunset cruise through the harbour ft. fish and chips for my birthday. Of course, Samuel got very cranky before and during it because we wouldn't let him walk freely at the wharf or on the boat. Derek said later he should've just taken Samuel elsewhere and let me do the cruise on my own. It was amazing how laid back and friendly the locals were. Once they knew we were on holidays, they were more than happy to tell us what we should look at and where to eat. And speaking of food, we had some awesome dinners while we were there. We had an all you can eat dinner twice (the waitresses thought Samuel was lovely) and seafood dinners at another restaurant on the wharf and the takeaway nearby. It was also really nice where we stayed. It was off in the middle of nowhere, but it was very quiet and we had the pool to ourselves most days. Not a great deal of shopping, there was a large shopping centre in Darwin about 10 mins from where we stayed and there was another one in a city called Palmerston. Anyways, here's some pics (I can't label them the way I uploaded them, sorry): Edited January 12, 2017 by nico_collard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 Tegan, your holiday sounds absolutely great (though I am not sure I would have liked to have been so close to the crocs ) It's nice when you can befriend the locals, they have a much better idea of what to see and do (and eat) than the guide books.

nico_collard Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Like this? Yeah, something like that Tegan, your holiday sounds absolutely great (though I am not sure I would have liked to have been so close to the crocs ) It's nice when you can befriend the locals, they have a much better idea of what to see and do (and eat) than the guide books. It was a wee bit scary. One snapped at a bug or smth at the other croc park and it made me jump. I think the heartrate went pretty high. And they def had some good suggestions for food. We didn't get to try it all though. HAHAHA And omg THAT U2 meme BAHAHHAHAHA So U2 and Mika need a kick up their arse They definitely do! Except not Adam, cause he's pretty and I like him Teegs, the Crocosaurus cove looks SO fun!! The pics are lovely!! And WW1 and WW2 exhibits seem really interesting, espeically the VR thing The view from the cruise looks BEAUTIFUL That seems like such an amazing trip!! Call us next time It was so good. We want to go again, but maybe when Sam's a bit bigger (and during June/July). And no probs, I'll get an extra suitcase for everyone to hop into You've missed all the competitions though Though we are starting monthly competitions in February. Damn. But yay for monthly comps! Might have to have a go! Just read about the incident in Melbourne. Such an awful thing to happen. Pretty scary.

Oakie Doke Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Tegan, you look so damn different! I can't believe how interesting Darwin actually is, too! How long were you there? News: Petra is coming to Australia in July/August! She's currently deciding where to go so she can book the flights. Do you think Darwin is worth it? I think flights are quite expensive, right? I think her plan at the moment is Sydney - Canberra (I tried to talk her out of it!) - Melbourne - Adelaide - Perth (to see meeee!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
