Suburban adventure!

Today I didn't do too much exciting I just went into town, wandered around a bit and got some food at the local polytechnic.

In the afternoon however I set off to buy myself a bike off gumtree.

I got the bus towards suburbia, which is vast in perth! I got on with a few people including a mother and child in a pram. After about half hour the bus driver pulled over and got really pissy with this woman. He had remembered that she had a ticket for one zone. I stayed very quiet as I had actually shown him an invalid ticket!!

So, I arrived in the huge suburbs. Looked in my wallet. Shit. No money!

I then had to walk 45 minuets to the closest shop. I'm glad I did though. As I past both Gay Street and Bonanza Road. 

When I took a photo of Bonanza Road a chavvy guy -or as the Aussies call them 'a bogen'- came out of his house with his dog.

"Oy! Why are you taking a picture of that sign!"

"Oh hi, because I'm English and it's a funny name."

"Well don't"

"Well.... I already have now."

"Well don't do it again."

"Why would I take another picture of the sign? I already have one."

Then I just waved his finger like an American cheerleader and walked back into his house like he was the victor.

The trip was topped off by a ride with my new bike down Nicholson Road.

My camera decided however that it should make me transparent. So in the picture below I'm a ghost.

We all went out that evening into Perth, it was a lot of fun. David, Nathanial and I cracked open some very enthusiastic dancing in a super trendy bar. We got a lot of funny looks but it was great fun!

After a few beers in town some of us headed back to the house. Anna and I stayed up till three chatting we finally called it a night and went to bed. As I was heading back to my sofa in the front garden Dave and Nathaniel got back. So obviously I had another beer with them! Bed at half four then!
