What the hell am I doing in Sydney?



That what I keep asking myself. I don't know how I ended up here, and don't really know why I am here. It's been an interesting trip, all last minute and completely random. The most interesting part is that I have no money. Actually I skipped paying rent back home so that I wouldn't be compeletly broke here.

don't worrie about the money part for me, I'll be caught up as soon as I get my $$ from financial aid in a couple of weeks, but Ahhh... Crazy stuff.


(The Harbour Bridge, I'll see this maybe tomorrow!)

When I first arrived I arranged a shuttle to take me to my hostile, where some daddy's girl ended up crying her eyes out because the bus driver wouldn't take her an 1 1/2 hours drive out of his way to drop her off. She was fairly convincing, and you could tell she always got what she wanted. She said her dad made the arrangements and that he couldn't just leave here there all alone. Man, it got to the point that she was sitting in the door way just crying and screming "help me, help me please!" I'm sorry, but I couldn't help laughing, she was so pathetic. I don't want you to think I am not sympathetic, I do feel sorry for her, but I feel sorry that she expects people to do everything for her.



So once I got dropped off, the bus driver randomly pointed me to my hostile, which I had an interesting time finding. I knocked on the door for about five minutes before I decided to find another hostile where a new friend was staying. They were booked... after a long bit of contemplation and some walking, I just barely passed off the idea of finding some nich in the city, and was able to get into my hostile through a hidden gate.... which is now obvious. (they dont' use the door). hmm... well once I got there, they had already closed, and I barely negociated staying on a couch in the lounge with fellow backpackers. Luckly, someone found a note and a key for me to stay the night. Phew!!!


I was so happy to have an early night in a nice bed!


Water Pressure YEAH! This is a nice place!


They have X-box, cushy chairs, and simpsons/futurama/king of the hill/ family guy on 24/7 This is my kinda place:



It has a beautiful courtyard, just next door to where all the bums stay... hmmm.... They serve free food next door! Ok ok, I'm being a little dramatic, but it's all true!

luckly with the whole crazy low budget, I can eat cheap, and I've arranged to work at the hostile for free stay. I'm off today to buy some public transit to see the sights, and find a park to do some slacklining!

Welcome to Sydney!
