    Default Experimental Travel...

    I bought the Lonely Planet's guide to experimental travel the other day and tomorrow at noon all my friends and I are doing SYCHRONISED TRAVEL.

    Here's the rules:

    1. Starting point. Take photo.
    2. Walk any direction for 50 - 100 paces then turn 180 degrees. Take photo.
    3. Keep walking until you see something blue. Take photo.
    4. Turn left. Walk 50-70 paces. Take photo.
    5. Walk in any direction until you see something that looks like either an 11 or a 7. Take photo.
    6. Turn left until you find somewhere to sit. Take a photo.
    7. Choose any direction and walk 50-70 paces. Take photo.
    8. Keep walking until you see an unusual shape, colour or texture. Turn 180 degrees. Take photo.
    9. Keep walking in any direction until you see an odd architectural feature or archyway. Take photo.
    10. Head for home but search for something that catches your eye. Take photo.

    ----

    My friend made me start at a public pool.. I made him start at the first child he sees.

    So at noon tomorrow I head to the pool and he leaves his house in search of a child. My other friend is starting at work at lunch.

    Anyone else wanna do it?

    The great thing about this experiment is you get to explore and find new things about the place you already live.

    I just had this visual of me doing it in my apartment complex... Pacing around with my camera and spinning in circles. Lol. As if the neighbors don't think I'm crazy enough coming home from work at 9 am with blue eye shadow and spider eyelashes...

    Me too!

    I've chosen a place in Coolangatta where I have now been a couple of times.

    My first 'date' with my man was at this place and went there Sunday just past. I sooo love eating there.

    Two hours!

    I'll take my boyfriend's Nokia N65 and do it with that as it will last longer than my actual digital camera. hahaha

    Plus I will "doco" the whole thing with video (if possible).

    An hour and a half? Yup! I think GCG will be home first to post it in the photos thread.

    I have a motorcycle service directly after so I won't be home until later.

    One hour (I'm leaving in 30 minutes time)....

    I don't know if I will be home in time.. tho' I will try to post even if it is from my boyfriend's computer.

    Seems he might be finishing work early so I may end up going straight to his place after I've done this and my errands.

    Otherwise, I won't be able to share until tomorrow.

    ^^^ snow white - give Lysondra a PM. You can do it your noon tomorrow if you want. Lysondra will give you a place to start.

    Done! I will share the photos as soon as I get them off the phone.

    I used my boyfriend's N95.
