Got my place


While sitting here in this cafe, I spot a little Asian girl wearing an A's hat. In Sydney, Australia folks, thats right. I snuck a pic, check her out in top left.

I found out last night that I got an apartment. It is a perfect place for me. Close to the city and right next to the park, and you guys know how much I love greenery. I have my own bedroom in a 5 bedroom house with 5 other people. I have my own big bed, not sure if it is a double or a queen, but either way I am happy. There is a desk in the room and a wardrobe. When I say wardrobe I mean a straight up wardrobe like lion the witch and the wardrobe status. A big wooden wardrobe that opens up and there are racks to hang stuff and draws on the bottom. It is like an awesome dresser. The house is nice and clean, and close to many bus lines, or a walk into City Center. I don't move in until the 23rd though, so Im still in hostels for a while. But starting next week I'll start looking for work around the area I'll live in.

A side note: Australia really needs to catch up with their internet connections here. I mean their fastest internet is like the fastest we had 10 years ago. I am at a coffee cafe right now and you would expect their public internet access to be even more speedy then at a residence or hostel, but no, just as slow.

Alright that is all from me right now. Once I settle in to my new place in a couple weeks I'll take pics and post them. Here is a map of where my place is in case anyone is interested: http://maps.google.com/maps?client=safari&rls=en&q=705+S.+Dowling+Redfern&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wl
