    Thumbs up Travel Experiment

    I am starting this thread on behalf of Lysondra and everyone else that participated --

    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?

    As per Lysondra's instructions, I'm starting at my favourite local place to eat - Pancakes in Paradise, Coolangatta.

    Here are my photos linked with each numbered task above:

    Nice job! Now I really want to do this too!

    Wow, how close is the shopping centre to the beach?!
    Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

    I had a lot of fun doing this. I took me about an hour. I actually talked to a bunch of different people. It was nice to get down to street level and actually pay attention to my surroundings. I mean, every single street I went down I'd walked down before, but never really looked at.

    I started at the first "K" I saw, per Lysondra's instructions.

    1. Sign for a seedy motel a few blocks down my street. I talked to a hitchhiking hippy dude there who wanted to know what I was doing and told me never to let anyone tell me I wasn't beautiful. Aww.

    3. Blue chalk drawing on the sidewalk. I think it was supposed to be a bicycle? It was next to a pink man with boobs. Ha.

    6. It took me forever to find this one. By the time I found it I actually wanted to sit down!

    8. You can't really see it, but there was a sprinkler spraying back and forth over the sidewalk. I ran through it.

    10. This picture didn't come out and I didn't notice it at the time but it was a pretty mailbox

    Ah! That's got to be what it is. The "man with boobs" was probably the shadow of his mom or something.

    Not a very attractive lady, I guess!

    Hahaha.

    I loved this. I noticed so many little things about my city I didn't pay attention to before.

    only if you're really buff and hot, which will have to be proven.

    otherwise, no.
