Didn't write diary for these 2 days as was too tired + lazy to do so. On the 30 Sept was briefed during port presentation about Brisbane and boy, its seemed like a place with so many attractions to go to. Closed up SSD at 3am in the morning. Enter Brisbane river at 6am ++ and alongside at 9am. Shore leave starts at 11am and I was nearly confined by XO for not listening to his briefing. He said I was busy looking at the pamphlets instead of listening to him where in the 1st place, I didn't know that he was briefing. Finally, managed to convince him that I wasn't at fault and I was allowed to go. I tour around the city with Yong, SK Tan, Yeo, Hon & etc...Bought some souvenirs costing around $40. SK Tan get to know a girl who brought us around the place. We went to Chinatown and South banks. South banks was really beautiful and the climate was cooling. A thought ran through thinking how nice if it was to live here. It looks like a paradise. Many of them were spending excessively and for my case, I feel my $500 Australian money wouldn't be enough for "Port 4". The girl who brought us around was a Singaporean Chinese who study here. Took a photo with an Australian girl but I think KCP , who also wanted to take picture with her just, anyhow whacked to take. Hope the photo is ok. After Southbank, we went back to the City. We later visited the casino, and also to a stripshow. I was approach by the "Ang moh" girl who ask me whether I want to "?????" the girl "??????" for $50, I don't want and rejected. I just went there to see see only. Shore leave expire only at 2am and we just roamed around the places. Didn't take much photos which is a pity. Still haven't seen koala bear. I left some tourist guide info in KCP bag but he dumped them away without informing me. I was angry. LSWT bought a few Hard Rock Cafe Surfers Paradise T-shirts and I think I'm going to get them either on the 3rd or 4th day. Actually, this is the best port but it still bring me some headache in deciding or planning where to go. Signoff, Weizhong 2/10/97 4.10pm
