Photos from the first few days in Australia here
I'll try to write this post with better punctuation (MOM) but no promises! I'm worried my internet card is about to run out. So Kran and I are now in Central Sydney, kind of like the downtown. It looks so much like Toronto, it's crazy, Sydney Tower looks like the CN tower, the streets and architecture are very similar. I guess it makes sense. Bondi Beach was very different, it kind of reminded me of Tel Aviv, very beach culture. Bondi is Sydney's most famous beach but as we learned on the walk south from Bondi (which is one of the eastern suburbs) to Coogee beach, there are lots of little beaches that are just as lovely. Unfortunately it was really windy when we were there so we didn't swim but did find time to go to synagogue twice for the holidays, eat good food, walk a lot and leave my wallet on the bus. HA! You knew it would only be a matter of time before I did something that could be classified as "pulling a Mara." Fortunately Syndey society seems to be functioning well, Lauren called the bus company for me immediately after (I was too pissed off and whiny to deal with my own mess), someone found it and I picked it up the next morning. What will I do next???
Anyways, so now we're sharing a room with a French dude and a guy from Manchester who I CANNOT understand. We've been to the lovely Art Gallery of New South Wales, Hyde Park, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Harborfront (going back when it's sunnier for better pics), and a nutty enormous market in Chinatown. Tommorrow we're going to one of the northern suburbs, Manly, for the Jazz Festival. We'll take a ferry to get there, yay! Anyways, thats the update for now, I'm sitting in the lobby of our hostel on the internet, they are constantly blasting music, I suppose to give a "party air" but it's really annoying when you're trying to write! Speaking of partying though, we got 15 drink tickets each in a little packet when we came to the hostel--seriously--so we're going out to redeem some of them tonight. Although in actuality Lauren and I are kind of like old ladies, we're going to pretend for now that we are WILD party animals!!!!
