Good news for people who live in the eastern suburbs like Coorparoo, Cannon Hill and Carindale. Translink is prepared to open their next busway that lies from Buranda to Main Avenue, Coorparoo on Monday. I've been living in Carindale for around 6 months with my homestay family when I arrived in Australia back in 2010. And I can see that the area around Stones Corner were always clogged with traffic since there are so many sets of lights are built upon that road. So no wonder there are plans that could help easing the busy hours when commuters were in a packed bus while having to endure the turtle speed and constant braking. Now that the busway has completed, it will cut around eight minutes from a trip along Old Cleveland Road. That would mean a lot for commuters, I can guarantee.
Hurricane Irene picking up strength [NASA]
Here's a picture giving you an idea on how massive a hurricane looks from heaven's above. Hurricane Irene is now intensifying into a category 3 hurricane. And the projected path shows that it will swipe across the State's east coast from New England to New York, up into eastern Canada. Flights are cancelled, people are rushing to get their necessities packed, buying foods and drinks for evacuation, and government is preparing to confront this massive storm in the upcoming days. It will be a crazy week for them I assumed. Stay safe, eastern citizen of the United State of America.
Brisbane Festival at South Bank [Quest | Courier Mail]
On South Bank, a massive festival will be revealed soon as well as a good opportunity to start my research essay for my COMU1311 course! $13.5 million was used for this event which starts on 3rd September. One special feature of the festival is a corridor decorated with LED-blacklit Interactive 'Light Scope' accompanied with complementary soundscape. Besides that, the festival would feature 40 productions, 700 performances, four world and eight Australian premieres. I simply can't wait to be one of the 'foreigners' who will be going to events and see performances, while having fun with people around me. (also, while doing important jottings for the essay. Fun times /sarcasm)
