Well the fist day was a success. Traveling on the plane took so long but it wasn't as bad as I was expectin. Arrived here in Sydney and I tried to follow the instructions the guy gave me to get to the flat and I ended up a little lost trying to find the bus stop. I love the train system! People in Sydney are not as nice as you would exeat, I think it's the large city thing. I found my way there eventually. The flat I'm staying in is in Elizabeth bay, a rich area apparently. When I arrived off the bus I called Collin,my he apatrtment owners friend, and I had about 1 percent battery left so I was a little panicky. The view from the apartment is amazing. I walked around after that, going to the harbor where the Sydney opera house is. It's so beautiful and pictures don't even do it justice. I was in the neighborhood of where my friend An works so I popped in to see her, had a corona at her work and chatted a bit. After a little exploring it started to rain, lightly, so I headed home to shower and look presentable as An and I were going to go out that night. The building im in is old so when I went to shower I couldn't get the hot water to work, so I just wet my hair and washed my face. once was done getting ready a huge thunder and lightning storm rolled through. I sat in the apartment sulking for about 15 minutes then said f it. I hadn't eaten since breakfast and it was about 5pm so I needed food. At the restaurant they didnt serve food for another half an hour so I took a pint while I waited. A gentle sat next to me and we chatted a bit, he wasn't from Sydney. As I proceeded home I got a little lost, while being drenched on. Found my way quickly but I panicked a little. The gps service here isn't really working well so thank god I kind of knew what streets I was looking for. Once I was back at the flat I laid down or a bit waiting for An to finish a work dinner so we could meet up. By the time it was 915 she still wasn't done so I decided to just go to bed. i woke up early this morning and went to the bay to walk around, it was raining of course. I met a man fishing and chatted with him for a bit then headed to breakfast. It is so pretty here. Now I am about to head out to Bondi beach to walk around a trail with An and explore. Take care all!
