This rather pointless, waste-of-time English test ended in the afternoon and after that I was scheduled to head to an AIESEC conference!
For those of you who don't know what AIESEC is... *looks down and shakes head* It's the worlds largest youth organization in the world! I'll blog about it some other day.
Anyways so back on topic...
Saturday night I'm heading down to conference with some other AIESEC members (Derrick, Neysa and Giannina). We drove down there because it is so far and in the middle of no where that public transport doesn't seem to have an interest in.
We made our way down there around 7pm, during our trip we had a great session of sharing music between cultures on the car... I still think my old Taiwanese songs on my iPhone kicks butt!
After some high moments and depressed moments it seems like we literately drove into a cave coz it was so damn dark!! There was no street lights or anything (and here I'm thinking I'm in Australia, a first world country and there's no street lights 1 hour and 30min out from central Brisbane) and slowly but surely fog started to form... This is when we felt like we were batman's car! Though the difference was that I didn't have that awesome costume batman seems to wear all the time.
So the fog formed and we drove even slower but we were confident we knew where we were going coz we had GPS! But we then quickly lost our confidence as the GPS took us to some dodgy area with road that seems to be made up by compressed skeletons with sprinkles of dirt on them. We needed a 4x4 for that road... But nevertheless we persisted... Coz we are AIESECers!! (<-- cheesy and lame huh :P)
Eventually after a rough journey we saw some lights in the distance and I swear it was like those movie scenes. Like you just fought WWII and in the distance you see a chopper to your rescue.
We arrived to the campsite and were welcomed by some ninja crickets chirping away and some annoying mosquitoes singing in our ears. We walked around the camp and realized the reason behind our 'warm welcome' was that a skolling competition was about to start ;) that explains it all...
So the night started there with a skolling competition.
The conference ended on Sunday afternoon and everyone was exhausted... After spending a day there I have to say that place was awesome!
It might be in the middle of no where but that adds to the 'be one with nature' feel. A really great place for a camping destination or just wanting to chill in the woods for the weekend.
The place was Camp Laurence located next to Lake Moogerah. Google it, it's an awesome place! :)
PS: there's a camp fire too! We didn't tell scary stories around it, we drank vodka shots instead ^_^
