sydney day 1

So how was my time in Sydney? Well things did go so well at the beginning due to me missing my flight, I had to pay an extra $50 to get a seat on the next flight which I was pretty happy about as I thought i'd have to buy a new ticket completely.So I ended up getting a flight that left 45 minutes later than my first flight but got to Sydney only 20 minutes later than what was scheduled for the flight that I missed. Got out of the airport quickly and because I was running behind time I went straight to my first inspection appointment near macdonaldtown station. The place was alright, a bit pokey right next to a roundabout which was on a road which is parallel to a main road so I noticed quite a few hoons/tradesmen barrelling down the road so I thought I'd give it a miss, nice little area around macdonaldtown station, if you just like a residential area with a shitload of terrace houses and narrow streets, but very green and pretty quiet for an inner city suburb.Next I went to the city to find my hotel, missed the big IR rally that went down the street, had some food at KFC because I was starving, FYI the KFC on George Street is terrible, I even had it on the way home and it was pretty bad, both burgers had these tiny bits of chicken in it that filled up maybe half the roll. Found my hotel couldn't book in cause I was too ealy, dumped my stuff there and headed out to Missenden Road for my next appointment. Walked through Newton and King Street/Missenden Road area, really nice vibe there, I hadn't seen RPA or Sydney University before but from what I saw on those roads it looks beautiful, saw the place on Missenden Road and you've probably all heard from astro this was the place we got accepted for, it was really nice (although possibly small) and has all this other great crap in the building and is in a really great position for both of us with my work being about 15 minutes away by bus and astro being right next to the uni, also it has a Nando's across the road, guess who is gonna get hella fat?After seeing that place and feeling better about the types of places that were available in Sydney I hung out in nando's filling in rental applications and waiting for my next appointment, it was pretty hot and humid outside even though it was only 25 degrees or something. I then high tailed it back to the real estate agent as I got off the phone with astro and decided to apply for that place, I then jetted off to find the next place to see which was in glebe.So yeah I walked around for ages trying to find this place, up and down this really hilly long street trying to find number 477, however after walking up and down the street i realised that number didn't exist and at the exact time I realised this I looked up and realised I was out the front of the place I was suppose to be looking at, which was good cause the inspection time was in 1 minute.This place was ok, 2 bedrooms, up and downstairs with a courtyard and balcony etc, it was a bit of a walk for both astro and i so i put it on the backburner in my mind, the guy i was dealing with for this property was an absolute tool, but i guess you get that from a 20 year old real estate agent (who looked 16).Next I was stuffed from walking around in business clothes and my leather shoes (they were killing my feet) so I headed into annadale village to find some eats and rest. I found this place where I got a BLT w/cheese and OMG it was the best BLT I had ever eaten, it even had a great side salad of carrot and mixed lettuce that i was chomping down on at lightspeed, so good, I'm thinking about when I am going to eat one again right now.

More later, need to go get ready for work.
