I ♥ QUEENS

Last year when i went to Queens i totally didn't like it. Just got off at a random stop and it obviously wasn't the right one.

So, this year we tried again..

And we ended up at Flushing Meadows Corona Park.

It was fucking awesome!! I totally loved it!

You get to see all these remnants and ruins from the 1939-40 and 1964-65 New York World's Fairs. It's just totally amazing and space age.

Some space age observation towers.

This is pretty awesome! Time capsules!

"Buried alongside the 1938 capsule, this container holds an additional 50,000 microfilm pages, tranquilizers, one checkered bikini, credit cards, a fifty-star American flag, tektite, Beatles record "A Hard Day's Night" birth control pills, plastic wrap material from Echo II satellite, Kent filter cigarettes, detergent, freeze dried foods, irradiated seeds, a plastic heart valve, an electric toothbrush, and desalted Pacific Ocean water."

 The New York Hall of Science.

Yeah, so overall i would really recommend this as a destination if you want to see something a bit different on your next trip to New York. I'll be back!

WEEKEND TRIP

Over Easter we went to Adelaide. It was very nice. Much better then i expected. But then i have lowered my expectations considerably. When it comes to travel and in general. But Adelaide was nice.

We drove there. It was nice to see the country again, at least for the first 4 hours.

Adelaide has a lot of food, especially around Gouger Street, where we stayed and ate out every night. Lots of Chinese restaurants but you can find other stuff too.

South Australian Museum

We went to the Adelaide Museum.

something scratching its back at the South Australian museum

And the Art Gallery. 

the Big Mother/Art Gallery of South Australia

And to the Immigration Museum too.

My feet hurt SO much by the end of the day, the first night i could barely stand up to go to dinner.

Interesting statement in the Immigration Museum

On Sunday we went to the Glenelg Beach, which was pretty nice, some shade and lots of families around having picnics. Not like St.Kilda Beach in Melbourne, which is mostly infested by junkies and backpackers.

Then we went to the Barossa Valley, where they got vineyards and tree lined country roads and stuff. Pretty. Lots of German immigration history there too. If you are into those sort of things, its the place to go.

weird mask at the South Australian Museum(imagine wearing that, urgh)

Ah, yeah, on the way to Adelaide, we also had a stopover in Hahndorf. Its some sort of Bavarian/German looking tourist village, where you can buy shit, like fancy sausages and gift baskets and eat pretzels. Well worth it.

Since i decided to limit my time in Australia now, i kinda wanna see it all before i leave. Its always a question of money and time tho. Next stop is Tasmania, that shud be nice too.

Too Many Mutha Uckers Ucking With My Shi-

Finally i got my computer back, after 2 weeks!!!
Jeezus, well, im not saying its Apple's fault, but im definitely glad to have it back.

Its weird to not have your computer for 2 weeks, i used my man's, but thats not the same, all my links and shit is on my own. On the other hand it was a nice change, coz it made me wanna be even less on the internet and the man's computer is also uncluttered from my own shit, so i got a bit of a breather.
