Sydney, not me... I'm looking white!!...
Just wanted to let everyone know that yesterday it was 35c and today it's a more moderate 28c... but don't worry I still look like a Ghost... Talk of Ghosts, I've a Halloween party on Saturday - what the hell am I going to dress up as???....
Anyway, moved Hostels this morning, now got a week booked in at Harbour City (As recommended by Lisa D, thanks Lisa!) and it's cool, sharing a room with 5 others and we've all been out for some food - they're friendly and seem tops!
Not really been up to much else, sorted my Oz bank account out yesterday and tax code, which took most of the day. Then met Ant at Scruffy's ((again!)It's a bar open 24/7 and it dates back the same as the boo!) for a couple of jugs, before heading to the Side Bar (Bar under the Wake Up! Hostel) with a lad from my old dorm room - must add him on facebook...
Right, I'm off to try "goon" (google it for the best explanation!) for the 1st time and get ready for a night in Kings Cross with my roomies...
Hey Briz, there's a "Bada Bing" here and I was staying near Pizza place called "Sopranos' - Have you watched them all yet???...
Got to Scoot... G
Ps. Still forgot to put up pictures!

Arrive upside down....
Welcome....
Well I've finally arrived, and I tell thee, it's some journey. After an emotional good-bye at the airport, between Dave and I that is, I flew out to Dubai.
I managed to get a window seat on the plane, but the best part was having a live feed, on the little tv's in front of you, for watching take offs and landings from the "pilots view" - However I did start to wonder if it would be good if we crashed!! I watched about 5 episodes of family guy and a film, however I can't remember what it was...
Dubai airport is really nice. It's got something like 50 gates and loads of shops and a couple of bars, which I must of looked found a hundred times in the 8 hours I was there. I managed to stay away and have a couple of beers to celebrate 22 hours without sleep - but also to celebrate getting away from some random bloke who talked about his job - a bus driver - while i had a meal in the airport.
From Dubai, I flew out to Bangkok so the plane could refuel. However this also meant I have to get off the plane, and walk round to re-board and go through customs again, just to sit in the same seat again - such a pain in the arse.
Bangkok to Sydney. This was the knackering part, even though I managed to get a couple of hours sleep in, as well as watch Oceans 13.
Got the train to Sydney Central, and managed to get a shower in my hotel before check-in which was great. Then spent the day sorting out a mobile, email me for my number or check it on facebook or ask Dave & Hazel.
Anyways... Meet up with Ant last night, and we had a good few beers. I've not realised not to go out drinking without having some food inside of you as you become a light-weight and head home early!!
Today, managed got get up for breakfast but then been back in bed till about 3pm today - mix of jet lag and being super hung-over!!
Just been down to the Opera House, it's really nice, especially with the sun setting, and I walked back through a park which was full of bats - bit scary!!...
I will post some picture's up next time round, forgot my usb cable...
Bye for now...G
