gay lesbian mardis gras paradeeeee!
this day was absolutely stellar!!!
we started the day by heading out to bondi beach.
it was so warm and lovely and beautiful!
after the beach we walked back to our hotel and stopped at the mall for MARDIS GRAS COSTUMES!
((facebook has the documentation))
we then decked ourselves up and took the train...which was quite hilarious, considering we were the only mardis gras dressed people on the train...down to the parade.
this is when we realized that most people watching the parade were NOT as dressed up as us.
which essentially made us even more psyched on it.
countless people came up to us to take pictures with us or of us.
Some news media took our pictures too!
and a Taiwanese newstation even recorded us with their news anchor and she taught us to say hello taiwan and some other taiwanese phrase that i can't really remember at the moment. soooo...i have officially been on the taiwan national news, pretty rad.
we didn't get to the parade early enough to really see anything, unfortunate, i know.
but we met a lot of fun people and had a great night.
i am pretty sure we wlaked about a zillion miles...and i wore heels...i have the blisters to prove it.

monday 01 march, 2010---
