So now I am here in Sydney, things are different, the weather has been pretty consistent, none of this being really hot and dry to being cold with no rain and then back again.
Last night was our first night we spent in the flat, up until that point we have been staying in hotels provided to us by my work which were well above my expectations, we could have stayed on in the hotel for another week but we thought why bother? The place is pretty much set up and ready to be lived in so here we are, it is a nice place and bigger than we thought it would be when we got here with our boxes. There are of course, a few things that we'll need to get use to like the strange noises that go bump in the night and the fact that since there is no real seperate rooms you'll have to be pretty quiet while the other person is asleep, the floorboards are some cheap overlay so they sorta makes a strage squishy/splintery wood noise when you walk around in the well worn part, pretty annoying when you are trying to be quiet.
Here are some interesting points about me moving, cause I can't be bothered typing anymore:
1. The bus system is hella confusing with its pricing here, although it is very efficient, people actually obey the bus road rules around here.
2. SydU is the most beautiful university I've ever seen.
3. My original remote control for my TV that this guy dropped into a glass of vodka and something on one vomitous night at the grove magically just started working, yes I know you can't believe it either.
4. Sydney is full of Brits, I mean really really full of Brits looking for other Brits to hang out with.
5. In certain parts of the CBD, Sydney seems like it has traffic lights every 20 metres.
6. The closest pizza place to me tastes very similar to mumma mia and charges for pizza by size and not by toppings, this is a good thing.
7. Even though I live right next to Nando's now, i've only eaten there once.
8. The humidity here appears to be helping my skin or something, it doesn't flake like it use to already, I've hardly been putting anything on my skin and it is all fine, even with all the "bad food" I've been eating.
9. The water out of the tap is going to take some getting use to (for drinking).
10. I really like the area I am living in, lots of shops/stuff to see.
