Always wear sunscreen!

Now i have only been in Sydney four days which certainly doesn't quite make me an expert however here are some things i have already noticed:

1. The sun does NOT always shine
2. However when the sun does come out it is VERY hot.
3. When the sun is hot do not forget to apply sunscreen to your feet or you will end up with flip flop marks all over them and they can become quite sore and puffy!
4. The Aussies call flip flops thongs.
5. There are a lot of Asian people - literally millions
6. Australians do actually say 'G'day Mate'!
7. The harbour is even more spectacular in real life - it's one of those moments that takes your breath away and you find yourself thinking of the ones you love and miss. Yep it was the first time i had really thought about SB since i got here.
8. If you ever wonder where all the beautiful men are - they are in the Sydney on a Monday lunchtime dressed in suits walking around the streets like gods!
9. The seafood here is soooo good. I seriously had the best prawns i have ever tasted.
10. Kings Cross is a shit hole.
11. Sydney's Hyde Park has something quite special about it. It makes London's feel like vegetable patch.
12. The sky seems higher?!
13. It is not over run by man eating snakes and spiders - to date i have only seen funny looking birds in the park.
14. They charge you a 15% surcharge in restaurants on a Sunday?!! What?! I didn't force them to bloody open!
15. It's probably the most amazing city i have ever been to.

I am really starting to find my feet, but can't wait to get out of this hostel. The Canadian guy is still here but is starting to get on my nerves. The Scandinavian girls have been replaced by 4 English Girls who seem like they may be looking for a good time. I am viewing a place tomorrow in Rushcutters Bay and have two Job interviews this week.......hopefully one of them will enable me to mix with the god like creatures in suits?!!
