Addendum to yesterday's post....

We spoke to a reliable witness last night that there is but one housecleaner for the entirety of the hostel. If there is still a person in the room, it does not get cleaned, only receives new sheets when a guest leaves. So it is entirely plausible that the 10 bed dorm has NEVER been cleaned. Ew.

In other news, we're staying in a different room which is much better. Latest highlights of Sydney have included the Hyde Park Barracks Museum, originally built in the early 1800's as a place to house convicts in the new Sydney settlement and later used as a holding place for newly arrived single women immigrants. It was very cool. Yesterday was the Manly Jazz Festival which was really nice, today we are aiming for the Sydney Jewish Museum, and perhaps use of a few more of our free drink tickets?

Oh, and yesterday a total stranger shoved Lauren aside on the street. And no one cared. She kept shouting back at him "That man pushed me!!" And no one even acknowledged it...it was kind of funny. Oh, and a man waiting in line for the ferry dropped his sleeping bag on her head. It was also kind of funny. That's all!
