some people in this world are just meant to be crazy....
nadine is one of those people...i think sometimes nadine doesnt include enough of her stories about her life in australia and how she is adjusting...the ones that show that she is special...so i am going to fill yall in...
Last week, the night before Paul and Tim got here, Nadine and I decided to go to the beach to look at the stars. It was about 10:30. So we sat on the rocks by the beach and looked at the stars for like an hour, and then we decided to head back to the apartments. So as we were getting on the bus, she looked at her bus ticket and said "I'm not sure this is going to work" (she thought she might have bent it too much). Well we got on the bus anyways, and she stuck her ticket in the green machine that usuallly sucks the ticket down and then spits it right back up. Her ticket got sucked down, but it didn't ever come back up. So nadine got a little confused, and after the bus started moving she told the bus driver that the green machine ate her ticket. He told her that at the next stop he would have to reset the green machine, and so at the next stop her reset the green machine. The little green machine still wouldnt give nadine her ticket back, so the bus driver started kicking the machine. In the mean time, there were about 10 Australian college students sitting at the back of the bus asking what was going on. So the bus driver told them that Nadine got her ticket stuck. All the Aussies began giving us a hard time, because, after all, we are americans (and we can't even use the ticket machine in the bus properly). And then, to make it more embarrassing, the bus driver told us he had to shut down the bus to see if he could get the ticket to come out. So he shut down the bus....all the lights went off...the engine went off...and Nadine and I are just sitting there listening to the Australians give her a hard time (by the way they called her the girl in the yellow sweater)....Well the stupid machine still didn't give Nadine her ticket back...so then the bus driver was like sorry guys...I have to call dispatch so we are going to be sitting here for about 5 minutes. The bus driver called dispatch and talked to them for a while, and eventually he asked nadine where she was getting off. She told him that she was getting off at the main bus stop on that route (which is where we live, aka Bondi Junction). So the bus started going again, and all the Australian students continued to give us a hard time until they got off the bus at the stop before ours (even after they got off the bus they were still yelling stuff at us, not mean stuff, just giving us a hard time). So after we got to our stop, the driver told us that we had to wait for the service guy. Well Nadine and I brilliantly decided to get off the bus to wait for the service guy, and outside of the bus about 15 construction workers were on their break. By this point, it was about 11:45 at night, and the construction workers started hooting and hollering at us as we were standing outside of the bus. So our bus driver decides to yell that one of us is his wife...and blah blah blah. So anyways, finally the service guy came, and he took the whole green machine apart and gave nadine her ticket back. We had to walk by the construction guys to get back to our apartment complex, and they still made as much noise as possible when we walked by them. And why did all of this happen? Because Nadine bent her ticket. Basically the moral of the story is....DON'T TAKE THE BUS WITH NADINE!!! She holds up the bus, she gets Australians to make fun of you, and she gets construction workers to hit on you. Nadine, if you think your bus ticket is too bent....IT IS!!!
