Taken one evening after work, outside the Stratford College, Southport. I was working as a tour guide, it was an exhausting day for me, having gone trampling up and down Burleigh Heads with my tour group, yelled at the kids for running away from me, and was short-tempered from dealing with drenched-from-rain-kids. I finally sent the last of them home, and was on the way to the bus stop, where I would catch a bus, then train, then bus again- a full 2.5 hour journey to get home. I was not looking forward to the rest of my day, but the rainbow cheered me up... somewhat. There was a saying in Mandarin that goes something like, "How can you have a rainbow without a little rain," and it reminded me of all the good I did that day, having been a point of contact between the Chinese kids and the new world of Aussie culture.
