A couple of friends and I went down to Melbourne over the weekend (more on that later, when I get the photos up). It was a great weekend, but a small event on Sunday afternoon really stood out in my mind.
We had just parked along the Esplanade at St. Kilda Beach, when a person from the car that had just vacated the same spot walked over and handed us their all-day parking ticket. We were stunned! Nothing like that ever happens in Sydney. To make it even weirder, as we hopped out of the car, another person walked over and gave us one more all-day ticket. In turn, when we left, we gave one ticket to the people in the car parking in our old spot and the other to another car on the street. They were just as flabbergasted as us!
Somehow, that just made the weekend. A person went out of their way to help us out, and we in turn felt motivated to do the same for others. It's funny how that works. I just wish some Sydney-siders could learn from this - by giving up seats on public transport, allowing someone to get onto the train before you (instead of barging through), or just holding the door open. Simple, short actions, really. It makes a world of difference.
Um, I don’t really have much of a problem in Sydney with things like that. I usually see it all the time.
Eh, I don’t see it very often. At least not on the trains. Most people push and shove their way on at Wynyard - without even letting the people get off the train.
Now if I can only get Kevin Spacey to “Pay it Forward,” then maybe I will be repaid the $10.80 for a shite movie that was not worth seeing.
$10.80!!! Those were the days… I paid $13 last night for a Student ticket. That’s more than what an Adult ticket cost a few years ago!
Those are really sexy legs in that pic.
Whose are they?
I don’t know, but they look pretty womanly to me!
