Already in Brisbane, first impression

After 14 hours non-stop sleeping of recovering for Jet Lag, Baptiste, my french housemate, and me went to the city centre to make a bit of tourism and to make me feel less lost.

A little background about the city, Brisbane is the Capital of Queensland, the territory situated in the northeast of Australia, around 750 km far from Sydney. Follow the wikipedia, it has 1,7 million people, with the highest growing rate of the country. 

Today was Sunday and the city was full of live with a lot of people moving around, live music (not only the typical  young guy with a guitar or the old men with a violin), and a lot of people making sports and being around.

All the city is new with a lot of vanguardist architecture, and most of buildings seems not elder than 10 years, or at least with a renovation of the facade and adding new features.

I'm still recovering of the 32 hours flying, and Jet Lag, that I'm realizing that it's quite difficult to write something, as my eyes are getting close little by little... but I'm still so happy to be here. Tomorrow, I'll begin the english lectures. Ah! There was a lot of stupid birds like this walking on the street, somebody knows the name of those ones?
