My name is Grace and never in my life did I think that I would have my own Bieber experience. Previously, Justin had tweeted saying that he would be coming to Australia on the 15 th of July, and there was no way I was going to let this opportunity slip through my fingers. Following up to this, I heard that Justin was only going to Sydney, and since I live in Melbourne, I was so upset. However, my sister had moved to Sydney a few months back, so after constant begging to my mum, she finally agreed that we could go to Sydney to see Justin. While in the process of booking our tickets, I saw that Justin was in fact coming to Melbourne on the 15 th and 16 th for ‘Australia’s Got Talent’ Final which is when we had organized to go to Sydney! I was so excited and called my cousin ASAP since we’ve been obsessed with him since the very beginning. On the 15 th of July, I woke up and immediately went on websites to see whether Justin had been spotted in Australia or not. My cousin came over in the morning, and we decided that we would go try and see Justin, but we told ourselves not to get our hopes up, because what are the chances that we were going to be at the same place, same time and that he would actually come out to see us. So unlikely. If we didn’t see Justin we decided we would just make a day out of it, and have lunch in the city. While still at home, I happened to search in Google, “Where is Justin Bieber staying Melbourne 2012” and found a Yahoo answer saying, “He’s staying at the Art Hotel on Chapel street, I heard from a good source.” I went on Google maps and typed in Art Hotel, and it came up with 3 hotels. We decided that we may as well go to Chapel Street, what harm could it do? We got on the train and after about an hour and a bit of traveling, we were on Chapel Street. I directed us to one of the Art hotel’s which was just near the station. The hotel was small, and did not look like some place Justin would stay at. We stood there for 5 minutes and since no one was there, we decided we should just go to the Langham hotel which is where he stayed last time he came. As we were about to turn around, we heard some screams! We walked a little bit further around the hotel, and saw a group of about 8 girls there. We went up to them and asked whether they knew if Justin was going to be staying here. One of the girls replied, “Yeah he is, we know people”. After we heard this, we were not going anywhere. We then saw Channel 10 news standing there, and about 10 minutes after, a Channel 7 helicopter was flying directly above us! We overheard one of the parents saying that Justin was on his way, he had just stopped at McDonalds. Of course, I was thinking, “Yeah, how would you know..” but I checked Twitter and a girl that I follow tweeted saying that she just met Justin at McDonalds. I cannot explain to you how I was feeling at this point. About 10 minutes later, they barricaded off the driveway, and we saw a black van come down from the other side. The 10 of us sprinted as fast as we could to the car, but unfortunately we didn’t see him. After waiting another hour or so, we started to lose a bit of hope. A blue van then drove into the entrance, and I tried to have a look if anyone was in there, it didn’t look like it, so I just stepped back. Then the doors opened, and Scrappy, Alfredo and Dan came out!!! Everyone ran up to Alfredo for a photo, so I decided to go up to Dan, and I asked whether I could have a photo, in which he replied with, “Yeah sure, thank you for asking!” So cute! After also getting a photo with Scrappy, they headed inside after having a small interview with Channel 10. There was no way I was going anywhere after this. I knew that he was there. About half an hour later, another car came and Allison and Kenny hopped out! I was just stunned. KENNY WAS IN FRONT OF ME. Kenny took a photo with us all , and by this time there were about 15 people all together. Shortly after, the whole crew went to the restaurant at the hotel and had some lunch. They had a table that was at the window, so we were watching them all eat lunch. Suddenly, I looked to the foyer of the hotel, and I saw Justin walk out of the elevator holding hands with Selena! He sat down and started to talk to his crew while eating lunch. Photos do not do him justice. He is actually the most perfect thing I have ever seen. His skin is amazing, and just wow. I was speechless. After about 10 minutes of everyone just standing there in awe, he stood up. Everyone just kind of stood there in shock, and somehow as he started to walk towards the doors of the hotel, while everyone just stood in the same position, I somehow managed to move my legs (do not know how that happened) and as he walked through the door I was standing right in front of him. Justin walked out and said, “Hey, would anyone like a photo?” I stood there just watching him take photos with my cousin and one other girl, and then I got my chance and got a photo with THE BEAUTIFUL Justin Bieber. He asked, “How are you guys doing” and was just such a nice guy. After a few photos he headed back inside and said thank you to us, and told us that he loved us. He then went back and ate lunch. We stood there. Not knowing what had just happened and everyone was basically unresponsive since we had JUST MET OUR IDOL. After another 10 minutes, we decided that we would go and let him eat his lunch in peace, and on our way back to the station, we saw herds of girls sprinting to the hotel. We later found out that there were over 300 girls at the Langham hotel where we were going to go at the start! Meeting Justin was actually the most amazing moment of my life. He is perfect, he’s lovely, flawless, just beautiful. Thank you so much Justin for making my dreams come true. I never ever thought this would happen, and you just made me the happiest girl in the world. For everyone that hasn’t met him, don’t worry, your time will come. Just keep believing and never say never. -@gracebyrne9 Here’s a video of him taking a photo with us (I’m at 28 seconds) Read the original post: My name is Grace and never in my life did I think that I would…
