- Australia, Furdu and Singapore review -
12 years ago
My gosh... Where on earth do I start? So many incredible things happened on this journey that it's going to be impossible to tell it all. But... I shall try my best!
My total travel distance over the last 20 days went over 40,000km. Edinburgh - London - Singapore - Melbourne - Brisbane - Sydney - Singapore - London - Edinburgh. The flight was over 20 hours and although it was a real test of endurance, I flew over some breath-taking countries (including Afghanistan, India and Malaysia!) I have travelled more in that time than I have my entire life.
I have so many people I need to thank it's unreal, but I will try my best and go from the beginning. If I miss anyone I apologize!
First, thanks very much to
arcticpete
fizeokitty for meeting up with me in Melbourne and showing me around. It was amazing finally getting to meet you guys and you are such kind people. (Aha! Gaaaaeeeeeeeeey *prrrt* ;D) Thank you for the merchandise, for the drinks and company. I am already arranging time off for my next journey over there to attend Confurgence! I am missing you both a lot and wish to stay in touch the whole time.
Thank you very much
ozkangaroo,
flamedrake,
joeyjoejoe and all the other
furdu staff. The convention was amazing, I made so many new friends (including the awesome
stucat), had so many awesome experiences... Everything from selling out of albums in 2 hours (And I took a whole big bag!), watching a fantastic magic show, performing with
kazza and
ralarare (Both the charity concert, and a random spot busk where we raised well over $200 in the space of under 30 minutes... You guys are both incredible), to my panel and getting washed around in the Ocean. Brisbane and the Gold Coast is a beautiful place and I cannot say it enough... Go out there at least once in life, it is amazing. Furdu is an amazing convention... Friendly and relaxing... and downright fun!
After the convention myself, Oz, Drake and friends went to theme parks, Australia Zoo (Where thanks to Oz I got some incredible pictures with Red Pandas) and bowling (Where I learned I SUCK at it XD). I stayed around Brisbane with Oz and Stucat, chilled at Oz's home, then we made our way to Sydney. (So many other incredible things happened here, but I will start rambling I think x3).
Myself, Drake and Mackenya made our way to Sydney, where I stayed with Drake, :icon:Jesad: and so many other cool people. They showed me around the city, including the Opera house, the river front and I got some great pictures jamming with Aboriginis! My final night in Sydney was to attend a night party and BBQ, where again, I made so many new friends, it felt as if I had truly never left home.
To sum it up... Australia was simply amazing. The furry community out there is incredible. The kindness and warmth is something everyone needs to experience at least once. I say to all you Aussie furs... Thank you SO much, for making this an unforgettable journey for me. I am missing you all dearly. <3
It doesn't stop there... Oh gosh no. On the way back to Europe, I had 3 day stop in Singapore. The heat and humidity of this place has to be experienced to be believed. Almost right on the equator, this place is constantly hot. The people are so kind and open and every night there is pretty much a party! On the first night I arrived, I attended a local meet of the furries there, colourfully known as "Singhacon". I met so many amazing people, including the likes of
silverfox5213,
rygarofthewind,
naix-iq and Randae (There's so many others but I think my icon limit is about to breach on my journal... But you all know who you are XD). I did an improvised concert, sampled some proper Asian food, visited Sentosa resort, got the grand tour of the small yet amazing and cultural country. Thank you guys, SO SO much, for making me feel so welcome and I will hopefully see you all next year! Go out and visit this small yet hugely inspiring place, you will thank me for it x)
For the next week or so I will be writing out more personalized thank you letters emails, I will be catching up on all my notes on here and my emails and messages elsewhere. If you messaged me, please give me some time to respond over the next few days <3 After ten days or so, I will be heading over to Denmark to spend time with a dear friend, which I am really looking forward to. :]
Thank you again... New music is on the way, I will also be (fairly soon) announcing plans for a brand new album. It will involve a fund raiser... With the potential of creating something that puts everything I have done in the past... To shame. I am *uber* excited to tell you guys about it... But soon, I promise. This will be leagues above anything I have tried before.
Best wishes,
Fox Amoore. <3

Definitely hope to see you again next time you're down.
P.S. Come back soon! :D
that sound's like the best time ever! I'm so happy you've gone so far ! C: and spread such wonderful music and happiness across the globe! <3
And yeah, Singapore is constantly hot and humid without a good four season. Hope to really see you in Asia soon!
Thanks for the hugs too.
Glad you had such a great trip all 'round!! Hope to see you again some time!!
Thank you for coming all this way and entertaining us, you fantastic Fox.
And very nice new icon :3
Alright, my plans for a fursuit are going WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY on the backburner
Let's just say it's not normally my thing to be running around theme parks & especially roller coasters, so it was a good chance to just get away like that. Especially since I'm between jobs for this period of time, so the timing was good too.
I'll say I haven't seen anyone so fascinated by a tropical thunderstorm for a while too!
It was lovely meeting you and getting to show you around Sydney!
