Hi from the future
Being a day ahead of you all, I have to warn you, the future is pretty bleak. In fact, it's as bad as the present was.
Anyway. Got in safely rom a 14 hr flight (which was hell on the leg, btw. Air pressure and the inability to move it was not, repeat, not good.) when I found out that none of the 5 airport atm's would take my debit card. Since the flight was an hour late, this lead to frustration, anger, and me being grumpy/upset.
Eventually busted out with the credit card and stayed at the local airport holiday inn. Drinking a beer in the shower helped things, alot.
I'm staying in a hostel now, though not the one I planned. I was on my way to another one, which I couldn't find, and when I saw this hostel I went ahead and got rooms there. Since I wasn't sure where the other one was (I started at one end of a street, and the address was 170. I was looking for 23. When I hit 263, I said fuck it.) I'm a 5 minute walk from the redlight district, and all those strip joints were tempting, let me tell you. Didn't go into one.
I did want to go this dance club, Star Fucker. The brochure says "fags. cripples. Trannies. cunts. militia. RaverRave."
And all that naturally sounds like fun. But my legs hurt, my back hurt, and my head hurt so I went to sleep instead. It was only 8'oclock.
Boy, it gets colder than a witches ass in the future, at least at night. During the day I'm one of the few people out wearing no more than a long sleeve shirt. Everybody has coats.
Oh yeah, don't go to the sydney natural history museum. It's cheap, but disapointing. No dinosaurs, no prehistoric fauna of any kind, and no sections on pure australian fauna from ANY time period. It is to weep.
The sydney aquarium was cool, though. Platypi, sharks, salt water croc...The shark section is all under water, so the sharks are swimming above and around you.
Almost like scuba diving, except exactly not.
Sydney has alot more in common with Europe than with america. Well...there are probably similarities between sydney and new york, but I don't know new york that well. But it definetly feels like Budapest.
People also dress in solid colors, in earth tones. I noticed this when I went out one day in my red shirt and white hat. At least both were solid.
Well...not all in solid colors. Alot of men wear rugger shirts, or whatever they are called. Posers.
