A medium-sized city on the east coast. It didn't seem like there was much to do so I only stayed for a day.



Jane and Steve on the ferry. We went for a cruise up and down Brisbane River.



The buildings of Brisbane.



In the hostel. Look how Tonje has her arm around me.

From: Jeff Nyveen To: my friends and family Date: Sat, 29 Jan 2000 19:12:00 -0400 Subject: :| In Surfer's Paradise, as I was getting off the sidewalk to board the bus, I hit my head on a metal fire hose casing mounted on the wall. My airplane wing bruises have healed and my sunburnt scalp has stopped peeling, but now there's a welt across the top of my head from the fire hose casing. Yesterday afternoon, on the bus to Brisbane, I sat next to a cute chick named Daniela. She's from England, and we got to know each other a bit during the ride. But she seemed to get along a lot better with the other boys. We all went out to a pub last night, guess who she ended up sharing a bed with last night? Neil. I still have the blues, but after some thinking and careful observation of those hooking up, I think I figured out the problem. I'm not outgoing enough. If I was more talkative and ballsy, could probably get a cheap score whenever I wanted to. But I'm not like that, and I can't even fake it when I try. I'm more of an introvert, and I think that makes other people nervous and uneasy. Sure, I can make a few quick friends by shaving my head and riding a bucking sheep for 10 seconds longer than anyone else, but when it really counts, it doesn't happen. In short, I got no game. Most of the time at clubs or bars, I feel like I'm just wasting my time. People hooking up all around me. It's like torture, and a serious blow to the ego. But where else can I go to socialize? One more note about Kari. It's amazing how little personality you have to have when you're a hot girl. I mean, if Kari was a guy and had the same personality, she'd be a dork, maybe even a loser. She would have *had* to develop a personality if she wanted to have any friends. But she's a hot girl, and apparently she never really had to, and everyone seems more than happy to hang around her. Seems like all you have to do is have decent breasts and nice skin and you can pretty much get by. Are there any hot girls out there who have a personality? Off to the showers. I haven't bathed in 3 days. Jeff
