How time flies....and money
So I've been in Sydney for a couple weeks already...crazy!
It's got some great pubs and some horrible banks. Spend 45 minutes Friday afternoon waiting to open a new bank account. And after I finally got it done, they can't even give me a bank card right away, they've got to mail it. What kinda system is that?
Man, I miss hockey. It's fun learning how cricket is played but at the same time it's got the same excitement factor as baseball. Rugby, that's a different story.
Spent the last week at the Sydney Central YHA...a tad expensive but a really classy place - almost hotel-like. I think the next thing on the to-do list is find a job, either in Sydney or fruit picking or whatever....just need somebody to give me money for services rendered. Here's some advice for travellers - do not spend more than a week in Sydney. It's expensive and there's always a party going on somewhere and you'll always meet new people to party with. I met up with a Scot named Scott and we've been partying hard for the last week....hence I now need a job.
Nine Mile is down here touring with Xavier Rudd, they start in Tazzy next week, so I may just try and tour around with them...working on my roadie skills.
If you ever find yourself in Sydney, head to Scubar. It's a little bar in the basement of the Central YHA and always a good time. Cheap jugs on Mondays (although the Aussies use a 40oz/1.14L jug) and supposedly world famous crab racing...I was more impressed with the barmaids myself...
