Sydney
I'm writing this at 3:30am in the morning in an internet cafe full of mostly asians who are all playing wow or some other game. I feel out of place and I love it.
This week in Sydney hasnt been as exciting as my last visits, I've been pretty tired, Steven has been very busy, so I've mostly taken up to wondering around the city at night time and either coming here to this internet cafe, window shopping and making a mental note of which street I'm on or gambling a little bit at this electronic casino on Pitt St ( I managed to turn $20 into $100 last night). I've resigned myself to plan B. I'm going to save up heaps, probably move to Sydney a few days before my birthday, stay in a hotel and find a place. I've looked at it financially and it seems to work a lot better than plan A.
I'll just have to somehow arrange for all my stuff to be moved from Brisbane to Sydney when I actually finally manage to find a place.
Steven and I have been looking at places, some of them are OK...but I've reached the stage where I'm just so sick of living in rats nests that I would like to have a nice, modern, clean apartment, in which I can fill with lots of Ikea furniture and other cool home things. So at the moment....and considering that Steven has his heart set on Pyrmont/Ultimo...its looking like $500 - $550 pw for a place. But I've come to terms with it, Starcity pays well and we should be able to afford it easily.
Im actually rather excited about it, and I know once I move here I'll have all the time in the world to explore Sydney bit by bit.
