After 23 hours of travel/transit, Sean and I finally arrived at Sydney International Airport at 8:30 am (two days after depature with time difference)  Its a moderate +18C here, and rained lightly from time to time.  Mostly sunny and Bondi beach was pretty whicked.  We walked with Jane and her friend Katie along the Bondi seawall past Tamarama, tons of really good looking people jogging/playing beach volleyball/tanning topless.  awesome...

Its kindof a gay rule, but its mandatory for men to wear a collared shirt and dress shoes to any pub, bar or club here.  Everything is generally the same prices as home, so budgeting might be harder than i originally thought.  It doesn't help that there are tons of really cool places to drink and eat.  Also alot of good clothing stores for full price (and probably +$ for tourists)

Air New Zealand had awesome service and suprisingly good food, I will definatly fly with them again if the prices stay reasonable.  Also the YHA here is amazing! I can hardly believe its a hostel, its got a full club in the basement with cheap drinks and crab races, a sauna, rooftop patio, pool, restuarant and laundry facilities.  Def gonna be here a few nights

Sean is alittle sun burnt, and were both pretty jet lagged from not sleeping for 36 hours.  My travel buddy is gonna bail and get some much needed rest, but I figure I might as well make a saturday night of my new dress shirt.  I'll write again next chance I get
