This morning, I woke up to find none of the bathrooms had toilet paper. Ugh. But alas, I went into the guy's bathroom and stole their only roll. Hahaha. Sorry guys. I can't wait to go to my WWOOF thing next week and do medieval crafts! Yay!
I'm going to visit Hyde Park today to see the huge chess game and the Botanic Gardens to see the large bats in the trees. Tomorrow, I will be going to the famous Bondi Beach with 2 of my roomates (a Korean, and a Swiss). I turns out that girl who didn't really talk is Swiss. I got to talk to her last night and she's very friendly. I think a lot of people want to talk but are too shy because english isn't their first language.
I picked up my bank card today! Yay! Now I can leave Sydney! This city is too chaotic like NYC...I need peace. I heard that Melbourne is really cool. Apparently, Sydney is like Toronto (busy city), Melbourne is like Montreal (cobblestones, beautiful, cool, amazing.....biased, am I?), and Canberra is like Ottawa (BORING). I will see and let you know if this is true!
By the way, if you guys need to wire transfer money it can be a pain if you don't know what to do (because the bank people don't know either). I called the general number and I was told to either do it automatically on the phone with my phone code OR call my branch during their hours. Since I don't have my code on me, I decided to call my branch between 12:30am-9am Sydney time (9:30am-5pm EST). I got up early to call and my branch tells me I cannot do it through them. I had to fax a request. Arrrgh. So I faxed it and now hopefully everything works out.

Very cool happenings, it's amazing how you get to meet so many people while you travel.
That's so cool that there are so many people travelling and working throughout AU.
When you go to Bondi Beach you'll probably see the "Swiss Grand Hotel" on Cnr Campbell Parade & Beach Road. That's where I stayed on my two trips to Bondi. When you go, definately take your walk and take some great photos, especially if you take pictures of the crashing waves up the far end of the beach.
When I was there, I came across a great little hole in the wall Chinese restaurant...not more than 50-100 meters from the Beach...I believe it would be just off Campbell Parade/Lamrock Streets. It's just after the shops. I wonder if it's still there; it sat maybe 8-10 ppl.
Love hearing your stories - keep writing!
