Yanks in Brisbane Meetup?

Hey fellow yanks – I know we had a bit of a chat before the holidays about having a meetup for all of us Americans here in the wonderful city of Brisbane and was wondering if anyone still wanted to get together? I figured since it’s after the holidays (and after Australia Day), we need another ‘national’ day to get together (‘yanks in brisvegas day’?), say howdy & y’all, lament the lack of good mexican food and texas bbq, drink expensive beer, eat snags, and discuss getting refugee visas to stay in this country….(just kidding about the last part though, I already have a visa) Would anyone be keen? Although it would be great to meet fellow ‘muricans, we could bring partners/friends/doggos. Meet at a bar, gaming bar, park, where ever. submitted by /u/tokitorii [link] [comments]

Lego shop isn't worth a special trip.

Just a quick word for those planning to visit the Lego shop at Dreamworld. It’s nothing spectacular; majority of the sets there you can buy from any of the big name stores and at cheaper prices, the pick-a-brick wall only has bland generic bricks, build a minifig has about 5 different bodies, heads etc to choose from. Couple of the staff are smoking hot though, the customers not so much. If you have kids and like Lego visit by all means but I would do it secondary to another purpose to travel, it’s underwhelming as a special trip on its own. Hope this saves someone a trip. submitted by /u/Aussienaut [link] [comments]

Housemate horror stories

Sometimes everyone needs a good vent, Let me know of your housemate horror stories. I recently moved out of a place that had one housemate with a serious feeling of superiority, they used to think because they’d been there longer than me they were the boss. It only took one occasion of them asking me for bill money (i thought fair enough the bills must come out of their account) but then soon after the housemate who actually paid the bills asked me for the money, to find out they’d tried to jip me out of money while living 2m away submitted by /u/themusicman111 [link] [comments]
