Last night was Chinese New Year's Eve here in Shanghai and I have never, ever, seen fireworks like this before. I thought that there were some crazy fireworks shows in the States, but this was...

Re: New to Brisbane, advice welcome!

Re: New to Brisbane, advice welcome!

You guys are awesome! This is a great help for me. I'm a little intimidated by taking a trip this far/long by myself and if I at least have some advice from people who have been there I can blame...
