Ok, I’m in Sydney, after a long and interesting train ride. I wrote over 20 pages in my notebook about it, a bit long for a post here, so I’ll probably post it as a seperate page, perhaps in my writing section. In a nutshell, I got on the train, we travelled through the bush, my room mate decided to pick the lock on a first-class cabin he could have to himself, we crossed a desert and stopped at a really sarcastic town, population: 4, my room mate got caught but not punished. I got another room mate, the landscape improved while the tracks got worse, I found out how little a town can change in a century, and eventually arrived here in this beautiful city this morning.
I am staying with my friends Jimmy and Rick for now. They live in a really nice apartment just above Bondi Junction, with a view of the harbour bridge. I took the subway downtown today and walked down to the harbour to find out just where the Sydneycam is located. I would always watch the Sydneycam when I was at work, but today I was on it! Yeah! I’m such a tourist. I also walked across the bridge to North Sydney and made the locals rather nervous as I was obviously underdressed for the neighborhood.
So far I really like this city. We went down to Bondi for a pizza dinner, and afterwards we went down to the beach for dessert. The water actually smelled clean! The only thing I didn’t like was, of course, the flies. I don’t know what it is about this country, but the flies are really annoying. How come nobody ever mentions this in travel guides? Well, duh.
I’ve also found a TV show I really dig. It’s called, simply, Pizza, and it reminds me a bit of a long Monty Python sketch. The two main characters are pizza delivery boys, one of Italian decent and the other Lebanese. Not only are they funny, but sexy as well. What more can one want out of a TV show, after all? Plot? Character? Come on, the days of Magnum, PI are over!
Tomorrow I might go visit Manly. Or not. Ya never know, do ya?
