The flight was actually really interesting again. I sat next to a young German guy traveling to Australia to train as a catholic minister. We had a really good talk about the freedoms each of us have over the course of our lives. Touching on a bit of genetics v social conditioning. He also had a bad shoulder so I traded him some Physio advice for a pack of biscuits!
Funnily I slept well on the plane, I found a good position with my feet in the pouch in front of me. Very odd but hey, it worked for me!
My first night here I wandered down to the local(ish) supermarket and ate tons of food, knocking me into a food coma so I fell asleep for an hour or so in the park over the road. I then returned to the hostel for a second dinner and then straight to bed.
Yesterday I met up with Tyrone and Konstantine from Kuala Lumper again for a walk around Sydney harbour and city. We fried up a few Kangeroo steaks, delicious by the way! Before getting a box of goon for pre drinks.
I was very disappointed. Throughout my travels I have been told time and time again about this mythical 'goon' a cheap drink enjoyed by backpackers. Only to find out what they are describing is simply a box of wine.
Anyway, we enjoyed our goon and then headed out to "space truckin three" a party I had been invited to by Charlie, a friend I made in Thailand. Only to arrive to a sweaty, dark, dingey pub with about seven people inside. I felt like a prize lemon as I had dragged the two guys plus a couple of Finnish girls and a kiwi out with me, even stopping them from seeing the Christmas firework desplay. The night trailed off quickly. We had a couple of beers and then went home after we found out how much entry was even in pubs!
