Brisbane Entertainment?

Brisbane: the town that comes alive at night. Or so they say.

I don’t spend much time in Brisbane. Other walking from one bus stop to another – occasionally it’s a run through the Queen Street Mall.

Clubbing in Brisbane on a weekend is the only glimpse of Brisbane’s night life that I’ve seen. And even that is a rare event.

For me to go out in Brisbane, I have to get there...which isn’t easy. I have to get a bus and then a train – so both my friend and I can drink. It takes over a hour…if the bus is on time. And then we have to sit there with dirty old men staring at us like they’ve never seen a couple of girls dressed up to go clubbing before.

Getting home is worse. Especially now they took the early AM trains away. I either have to wait until 5AM or get a taxi home.

$50 to get home? I don’t think so. If there’s a few of us then cool, it works out to be about $10 each. But then again, we’d have to wait ages in the taxi queue. And then listen to the driver’s pointless stories or crappy music.

So…entertainment in Brisbane, perhaps I’d care more if it wasn’t such a pain to get there.
