On thursday I took a noon flight out to sydney to check out the city and meet some friends of friends. Flew in around 3:30 and stumbled over to North Sydney where a few friends of my friend Madison live.
They live on the second and top story of a condo just a walk from the harbor bridge. When I got here I smiled because on the two call buttons one said ‘tenant’, the other was handwritten script saying ‘boys’. It’s been a great time here. James is a musician, (check out this website for his music http://valar.bandcamp.com/), there’s a math teacher, architect, and lawyer among other things. Pretty diverse group of guys but they all mesh really well. Outside the window you can see the harbor bridge and they have an upper patio that overlooks the city. Probably one of the better views I’ve seen since I’ve been here has been in the restroom from the porcelain throne.
Last night we went out to the Opera Bar, which is the lower story of the Opera house here. Pretty classy place, lots of dressed up people and fancy tables.. After that had some shenanigans around town with these guys then came back and crashed on their couch. Today I received a meat pie (which was absolutely delightful) which is basically, well.. a pie with meat in it.
After that I decided it would be a GREAT idea to bike down to botany bay on an old mountain bike that belongs to Tim. Anyways, 3 hours and 44 km later, I’m back home and pleased to say that I made it there and I’m ready for dinner.
Every friday these guys have a group of people over to hang out on their roof and have a bit of a party. We’re all cleaning getting ready. Should be a fun night.
