wheee im back (: anyway im too lazy to blog about my trip in perth. maybe when i feel hardworking enough (: but the worst thing happened to me on tuesday, which is my last full day in perth. we were at this lookout point at Reabold Hill and we were only gone for 5 to 10 minutes. when we came back, the bus was broken into. the side panel of the bus was smashed and all our stuff gone. grrr.

we thought it was safe to leave our stuff in the bus cos we were only leaving for a short time and the tour guide told us that she would lock the bus up. who would have expected that this would happen? lemme list out the things i lost

1) my pink adidas handbag - $25

2) my library book - fine $10

3) 52 australian currency - A$52

4) hairband, comb etc.

5) nice shells that i've collected along one of the beaches.

6) DAD'S HANDPHONE - he left his handphone in my bag ): my hp is safe cos i brought it up with me

7) dad's haversack - cost alot

8) dad's pocket pc - $400 plus

9) house keys

and alot other stuff. whoever stole our things is such a b******. they were obviously waiting for us and when we left, they strike. the side panel was very small and only a kid or very small adult can fit in, so its obviously a team effort. they were really fast! 5 to 10 minutes and BOOM all our stuff gone and they were gone too. grrr. at least we didnt lose our passports. thank God. two other people in the tour group lost theirs.

our tour guide, kim, was very frantic but she was really nice. i like her! she helped us sort out all the stuff and she was just really nice. she came down the next day to help those who lost their passports. actually shes not obligated to help, cos we were on day tour. that means we book this trip free and easy, but we sign up with local tours there. so shes just the nicest tour guide i ever had. (:

it was almost the end of the tour. the last stop, shopping at hillarys boat harbour, was replaced with police report ): the Wembly police station people were horrible! kim told them that two people's passports were lost and they were like: so? what can we do? make them appear magically? what a b****!!! sorry i seem to be swearing alot but i mean. GRRRRR.

and they were like: sorry we're closing, so we cant help you. it was a freaking 3.30 only!!! even if its winter shops dont close that early, much less POLICE STATION. and they rejected a man by saying: oh sorry sir, we're closing please come back tmr. it reflects horribly on them! kim was shocked too to see that her fellow australians were so unhelpful and unkind. we called down a patrol car to take our police reports and we went straight back to the hotel after that.

well, as a lot of people been telling me, we're VERY unlucky. if it happens in Europe, im not surprised, cos Europe has a lot of thefts. but when we were in europe, nothing happened! but here in perth, we were robbed! when people think of thefts, they dont think of australia! i would think that australia is a relatively safe place, but now i gotta rethink my opinions. NOWHERE is safe.

anyway this is a lesson learnt. next time, DON'T leave your stuff anywhere. always carry them with you no matter what. ):
