Day 2 and 3 Sydney Trip

Just a continuation from yesterday entry about DAY 2. So yesterday was Naz's birthday party in the Bondi region of Sydney. At about 3 pm I went to Bondi Junction on the Eastern train line. Funny thing is that even though the Kings Cross Station was closer to where I live. I walked into the city and caught the train from the Martin Place which went to Kings Cross Station--> edgecliff--> then Bondi Junction.

So yeah I got to Bondi Junction and was going to meet up with Naz... But yeah... her mum took the car out so I ended up hanging around Bondi Junction. I must say that the shopping centre at Bondi Junction is so big. Literally the centre is like 6 stories and there were two buildings. BUt yeah spent 3 hours in there. Which is pretty impressive considering im a guy. Funny thing is that when i went to the newsagents to buy some pens for Naz's Party.. The newsagent guy thought i was stealing.... which was the first time someone has asked me wheter im stealing or not. I had to empty out all my pockets to prove to him i was not stealing.

So at 5:30pm... Naz and Simeon came to pick me up and we arrived at his house. Being the only one from Brisbane I knew no one there at the party. At first I met her brother Josh and had a little chat. But i felt more comfortable on the verandah staring out into the mountains or maybe they were hills. Lol... After a bit of a breather... I went back in and met another guy called Josh... And i think there was a Jonathan/Jason and then i met a Kevin. Funnily this was all over a game of Ping Pong... Haha...

During the night... there were alot of great speeches and alot of thing that were said about Naz. Later on... I bumped into some RICE Syd people that i had met last time and from there I met someone with the female version of my name, Patricia. A arts/lawyer by profession. But yeah throughout the party i met quite a few people and they were all surprised i was from Brisbane. Cuz most of the people at the party were from her church. But overall it was a great night. I loved. it.

Day 3 - In Sydney...

Once again i woke up pretty late.... My plan was to go out to the fish markets which is in Pymont which is like all the way at the other side of town. But crazy as i am to save money on transport I walked all the way over there It took about 30-40 mins for me to get there. But after getting lost a little i eventually found my way to Pymont Fish markets. I could smell it before i saw it. Haha. But from talking to people at the party they recommended me to eat the Seafood there cuz it was fresh. For some wierd reason when i got there the first thing i ordered was fish and chips. Then i saw alot of people eating sashimi like tuna, salmon, lobster etc. So i first started with Fish and chips .... I walked it off for a bit then i went and went for 2nd course meal.... Salmon Sashimi. It was funny cuz i saw people buy 1/2 kg of salmon sashimi which they barely finished between two people so that means there was probably no way i could finish it. So i being the dumb asian i am went up and asked can i have 50g of salmon. And they were like sorry sir we dont sell anything that little... get out from here. Lol... they didnt say that but i managed to finish 100g by myself. And i must admit...fresh seafood is awesome.

Later on... to save money again i walked all the way back to CBD. I went to the National Maritime Museum. It was pretty good standing up close to HMAS Onslow. But compared to the Australian Navy Fleet outside my window. It was nothing... But i was amused by the penny making machine... Haha... how i kill time.

Then i went to the Aquarium and Wildlife place but they were so expensive. Haha... once again my asian cheapness coming out again. So what did i think of doing... going to the Lindt store. I knew there was one in darling harbour but i couldnt find it. So i went to the one in martin Place. But i couldnt find it i had to ask like at least 3 people to find out where the lindt shop with. If you had a camera following my life. you would see this asian guy walking around in circle in the middle of martin place.

But yeah i found the asian store and guess what i found. I found 99% Dark Chocolate. it was awesome... You cant buy it elsewhere. But im up for the challenge of 99% dark chocolate. So after that i went home onthe train and went to King Cross. cuz my ankle had had it. already. But yeah... apart from that... Until the next episode... over and out
