... this very nice man carried my bag off the train for me and pointed me in the right direction to get a cab to my hotel. Everyone here is so so nice and very helpful! <br><br>I found a cab, told him my hotel and he dropped me off. The cab drivers here are a bit scary and I am still getting used to the driving on the other side of the road! More than a few times, I was scared we were ...

... erstmal mit Infomaterial versorgt und haben eine Weile die Sonne auf einer Parkbank am Hafen genossen. Dann sind wir durch die Altstadt von The Rocks geschlendert und waren in dem ein oder anderen Laden. Der Plan war, gemütlich über die Pitt Street, die Shoppingmeile Sydney's, zurück ins Hotel zu laufen (zur Info für alle Immobilienfachleute: die Pitt Street hat die höchsten Ladenmieten Australiens und zählt zu den teuersten Straßen der Welt ...

... Dess**! Wir finden den Laden auf Anhieb (muss was mit d** Anziehungskraft zu Zuck** auf d** Suedhalbkugel zu tun haben) und koennen uns kaum entscheiden ziwschen all den Sorten, die hi** im Schaufenst** angeboten w**den! Im Endeffekt ist die Sorte ab** ganz egal, Hauptsache d** Muffin ist GROSS und SUESS!!!!

... spaghetti, only didn't know you had to rent plates and utensils from reception, so I ate it with a mixing spoon from a pan- so creative. <br><br>The hostel had a mechanic surf board, and while chilling in the lounge we found a surviellance camera that was showing it. I was exhausted and knew I was leaving tomorrow so had to get some sleep, otherwise I would have been on that surfboard like there is no tomorrow

Caught the ferry to the zoo. Taronga Zoo is ment to have the best view for a zoo in the world - it is quite impressive, you get glimpses of the city, bridge and opera house from different points around the zoo. <br><br>We didn't bother focusing on the non australian animals as Becky said 'we can see spider monkeys in england'. The animals were quite active today - we ...

Ich habe lange ueberlegt, ob ich diesen Blog ueberhaupt weiterschreiben soll. Zum einen besteht mein Leben hier primaer aus arbeiten und ist deshalb nicht besonders spannend zum anderen habe ich mich an die Eigenheiten der Australier gewoehnt und sie fallen mir deshalb schon gar nicht mehr auf. Hauptgrund ist aber, dass ich diesem Land einfach extrem wenig positives abgewinnen kann. Diese Aussage muss ich allerdings dahin praezisieren, dass ...

... Day, which was tougher than we thought, seeing as all the pubs were jammed packed and spilling out on to the street all playing two up. Work continued as usual throughout the working week. Then came to this week where my mate Nick Ollie came up for the weekend. He arrived on Friday night after leaving Melbourne that morning. As he pulled in, he had a passenger, a Japanese backpacker called Cosco who had been hitchhiking across Australia for 11 months, Nick just happened to pick ...

... to see her again - I'm still amazed at how she can do so much despite having lost her sight - she's amazing! On Sunday we packed up our bags once again (they are getting very very full and very very heavy!) and went into Melbourne, to catch our bus to Sydney that evening...during the day we met up with Danielle &amp; Ben (friends from home) and their son Noah, and had a lovely lunch with them, it was weird seeing people from home half way across the world ...

... since my brother Brady was holding a large party and my other siblings were coming to Chicago for it. Also notable is that most of my friends were traveling for the weekend- Ryan to Tasmania for his aunt's wedding, Most of my girl friends did a "wilderness weekend" through school, and a group went to Fiji for the weekend. My bank account standing prevented me from joining them on any trips, since I don't have a job lined up yet and ...
