Pelos Arredores de Brisbane III

Around Brisbane III

Se voce estiver em Brisbane, uma das atracoes imperdiveis que eu recomendo muito eh o Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, que eh o maior e o primeiro santuario de koalas do mundo a ser construido. Com mais de 130 animais da especie, la voce pode tambem alimentar cangurus, conhecer uma variedade de animais da Australia, como passaros, ornitorrincos, etc. E por uma certa quantia, voce pode tirar foto com os animais para levar de lembranca pra casa. O santuario abre todos os dias a partir das 8h30 ate as 17h, com excecao de certos feriados em que o horario muda.

If you're around Brisbane, one of the attractions that I really recommend is Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, which is the world's first and largest koala sanctuary, with over 130 koalas. There you can also handfeed cangurus and encounter a large variety of Australian wildlife, like birds and platypus. For a certain price you can take pictures with the animals to take with you as a souvenir. The sanctuary opens from 8h30 to 17h everyday, except few holidays, which they change the schedule.

Amizade

Friendship















This is Cascao. Since we are little, friends know when we are friends. Because we share moments, we support each other. They are always by our side, when we win or when we are defeated; in the good times, bad times. Friendship is not always agreeing with each other, but to give it up sometimes. Friendship is like having a brother who doesn't live in the same house. It is sharing secrets and emotions. It is understanding, it is amusement. It is being able to count on someone every time you need! It is having everything in common and nothing in common! And having nothing in common, really! It is knowing that you have more in common than you think. It is missing each other! It is wanting to have a break from each other! It is giving preferences, it is being jealous! Real friendship never ends. Even when we are grown-ups, and other people show up in our lives. Because we can't explain friendship. It simply exists!

Momento Palhacitos do Dia

Silly Moment of the Day

Um garotinho usando um enorme chapeu de bombeiro estava andando pela calcada com o seu carro de bombeiros de brinquedo, sendo puxado por um grande, velho e feio cachorro. Infelizmente, como o menino tinha amarrado a cordinha nos testiculos do cachorro, o carrinho esta indo bem devagar. Um homem reparou nisso e disse: 'Sabe, filho, o seu carrinho iria bem mais rapido se voce amarrasse a cordinha na coleira dele.' O menino concordou. 'Talvez sim, mas dai eu nao teria uma sirene!'

A little boy in a big fireman's hat was riding down the sidewalk on his toy fire truck, being pulled by a big old ugly dog. Unfortunately, since the boy had tied the rope around the dogs testicles, the truck was going rather slowly. A man noticed this and said: 'You know, son, your truck would go faster if you tied the rope around your dogs collar.' The boy nodded in agreement. 'Maybe so, but then I wouldn't have a siren!'

Pac Man

Ja que a gente tem que acordar cedo, por que nao acordar de bom humor?
Pelo menos, para quem é fã de um dos jogos eletrônicos mais antigos, como o Pac Man! Esse relogio digital tambem conta a trilha sonora do video game, alem dos detalhes fofos dos botoes de ajustes em formato dos outros icones do jogo: cerejinha, fantasma e sino. Se voce gostou, o despertador está à venda na loja britânica Firebox e sai por US$ 24. Uma pechincha, vai?

If we have to wake up early, why not waking up early in a good mood? Well, at least for the fans of the Pac Man game! This digital alarm clock features the soundtrack of the game, also the cute details of the adjustments buttons in the shape of the other icons of this game: cherry, ghost and bell. If you liked it, this clock is for sale at the British store Firebox and costs U$ 24. A good deal, eh?

Internet

Demorei, mais voltei! Quer dizer, mais ou menos! Eu nao estou mais postando aqui no blog pelo simples motivo de eu nao ter ainda internet aqui na nossa nova cidade! :(
Pra acessar a internet, eu preciso me deslocar ate a biblioteca onde tem wi-fi de graca, e nem sempre da pra postar pois a internet down under eh tao leeenta!!!
Mas, prometo que toda vez que eu puder, vou tentar atualizar!
Beijos! Nadilux

It took me so long, but here I am! I mean, sort of! I'm not posting anything else here in my blog simply because I still don't have internet here in our new city!
To access the internet, I need to go to the public library where they offer free wi-fi and most of the times the connection is sooo slow here down under!!! But I promise to update whenever I can! Kisses! Nadilux
