Well we got up at 3 o'clock this morning, drove to Sydney, hung out at the airport for about 4 hours, then we were on our way!
9 hours, 2 movies, and a crazy Aussie/Hungarian lady who wouldn't shut up sitting on the other side of me, we arrived safely in Kongkers.
This place is crazy! It really has to be seen to be believed. Imagine Sydney but with more people, more roads, awesomer buildings, dodgier buildings, (I'm talking bamboo scaffolding here people), and you'll be getting closer to what it's like. Driving from the airport through the middle of the city was great. So many lights and tall skinny buildings. Fully like something from Ghost in the Shell or other anime style thing.
Space is at a premium here. We're staying with Lucy's dads cousin Ian. He lives on the 22nd floor of a building in an area called Happy Valley (what the?). The apartment is about the size of the loungeroom in an average Canberra home, but it is nice, and with great views.
It's about 30 degrees and real humid, but there's air con in every room.
We're gonna go check out some touristy stuff tomoz, so will report back when more awesome comes to hand.
The photo is of Sydney from the window of a 747.
It's 8:55pm local time, which is 10:55 Aussie time, so I've been awake for far too long.
Out.
