Everything was going right and falling through all the time. Gip has offered me a laptop from his dad last minute and I was hustling before I was leaving to get the right OS to install. Anyhow, because of the disagreement on price, it just didn't happen at the end.
So I have arrived to Sydney now. It is a bit similar to Vancouver, and I don't feel super excited or anything. Not sure how to feel but trying to take it moment by moment.
Flight was long and the food was soooo crappy! I had the grossest sandwich ever, and my stomach was totally not agreeing with the food. If you want to fly long distance, don't fly with an American airline. On top of that, a few crying kids who were uncontrollable by their parents. I also left my beloved mini bolster on the plane :(
When I landed, I missed my airport transfer and ended up having to take the bus, train, and taxi to the Lamrock Lodge Hostel. I have realized backpacking wasn't the greatest idea for me, and should have taken the advice from Siobhan about going light. I was basically breaking my back with 2 other bags. I was gonna die. Yesterday, I went to buy a trolly so I think it will be for moving around.
I can't deny its beauty though, teal coloured water with off white fine sand. Weather is nice and warm, perfect with the wind at the beach. I had a small nap on the beach. It was a bit too windy yesterday and the fine sand was hitting my skin which gets stuck.
Everything is expensive by the trendy and touristy Bondi Beach. I ate Thai/ Chinese in a restuarant for lunch. For dinner, I ended up going to IGA and cooked brown rice, tuna, and red pepper at the hostel. The hostel is definitely not the cleanest and doesn't always have enough hot water for shower. Back to being ghetto.
The seagulls here are smaller and make a different higher pitch noise, kinda like a kid. There are lotsa bird noises by the hostel, like a tropical zoo. I also saw a dog that was unusually large.
People are really mixed here, locals and tourists from different nationalities. There are definitely more blonde and tan good looking people. Interesting to see Asians with Aussie accents too. There are lotsa China people like Vancouver.
I haven't touch a drink yet but I did have an offer from my roomate! Oh yes, I'm sharing a room with guys which is kinda weird. I have only chatted with people but still am a lone wolf. It's ok because I will probably move into the city to find more info first. I'm not sure if I should work there or go to a less crowded beach.
I really don't know what to do next @_@! More sleeping on the beach this afternoon?

good to know u landed in one piece... - winnie y
Hey Constance, be careful of that one drink. It could lead to two, and then three, and then....
Steady sailor, you just dropped anchor.
hey..i was only trying to help. sorry about the whole thing, but maybe the cosmic weirdness you always talk about was preventing you from lugging a beatup ibook around sydney.
one love--gip
hey constance,
that unusually big dog should be very very very big otherwise he won't be mentioned in the blog haha :D
constance,
seagulls, birds, beach!
how about do some sketching and doodling when you're lying on the beach? so relaxing man...
Glad to hear you arrived safe. Ahh hostel living it's an adventure, just remember things are always strange the first few days, the beach sounds like a good plan. Wish I was there!
