Two go mad in Australia

Our first 6 days in Sydney were pretty busy. We checked into a hostel for the first 3 days. We managed to get a double with a bathroom which was pretty nice - I think we're both a bit old for communal bathrooms... Whilst we were at the hostel in Central, we went to a great gig at The Metro (The Sleepy Jackson) and then onto an indie club in King's Cross. We were pretty drunk by the time we got in at 4am, only to discover that we were expected to be out of our room at 8am because all rooms wer...

Sleep deprivation and children!

... including Cockatoo Paul and Harry Healy. Whilst there our accommodation was a 'pentagon' teepee... novel!
We took advantage of the free tour operator service and booked ourselves onto the greyhound bus and sorted our accomodation for the next two weeks.. this was the cheapest option available, shy of walking!

I suck at keeping blogs up-to-date

... of more along the lines of what I thought Australia would look like all along. Very dry and rugged, but also a real small-town kind of atmosphere. Well, except at the place I stayed, which classified itself as 'the party hostel on Maggy.' Base Backpackers was honestly a pretty cool place, but the party host dude was a raging douchebag, and no one even came out of their rooms until like 10:30 - 11:00, and by that time I was about ready to wind down for the ...

A few days here and then a few days there (SYDNEY)

... amazingly and I was the first to be dropped off. I jumped out of the bus with enthusiasm, grabbed my bag, ran into the terminal, checked in, went to check the time and realised my phone was gone. With boarding closing in 10 minutes I didn’t have to time to find someone with a phone to ring mine and so after a quick search around and check with security I had no choice but to go through security phoneless. For the 3rd time since Argentina. I was sure it would turn up though ...

UNSW Classes

Alright, so i figured i'd give you guys and update on how classes are here, at least for me and how things seem to be working out for me. Well first off, i have no class on friday, which is a great first time considering i'm going to be in Sydney! Well I'm taking all civil courses i decided, since it'd be fun to take courses while i'm here that are cake, but i think the fact that i'm paying tuition for the ...

The Big Smoke

... absolutely baffled to see what this achieves. That night I've pity for Alb**to - for in spite of his animalistic breathing, he doesn't snore. At one stage I'm awoken by the snoring of 4 people. And I know I snore. So that means the poor bugg** was the only one in the room that didn't. Snoring, irish, english, sicilian, ******, backpacking bastids.

Welcome Australia, goodbye Germany..

... mir das dann auch nichts mehr. Zum fruehstueck gab es wenigstens muesli, aber brot zum mitnehmen kam fuer mich nicht in frage, da es keine auflage gab, ausser vegemite, dass ich nicht so toll fand. Was mich aber am meisten stoerte war wirklich die entfernung. So kam ich nach einer Visite im Studentenwohnheim Greenwich Village, wo Lotte, Silke und Eri wohnten, so meinem Entschluss, umzuziehen. Accommodation Greenwich Village Am Montagmorgen packte ich ...

... location - just jumped on the trains from the airport and a quick 10 minutes later we were there. I liked the location as it was really close to everything - the Monorail goes past it and also the George St is right nearby - also if lost if we looked up and searched for the big MERITON then we could make our way home. Close to Woolworths so that was handy.

We arrived at 6pm and as ...
