A lot has happened since I last sat down to write a blog post --- I guess having no time/energy to just sit at my computer means we're doing a great job taking advantage of everything here!! I have a moment now to catch up on a few fun things from the past week-ish, what I don't write now I'll be sure to write about soon!
Paddy's Market:
This is a market in Chinatown that could not me a more quintessentially Asian market if it tried. At the bottom floor of a shopping mall the market is jam-packed with booths selling clothing, souvenirs, dried fruit, postcards, jewelry, shoes, towels, nail polish, massages, knock-off jerseys, handbags, aboriginal art... and one whole end of the market is just fruits and vegetables with the sellers yelling prices and tossing produce around the crowded stalls. It's incredible. The plan is to head back there a little sooner to the end of my time in Sydney to get lots and lots of goodies for my friends :)
Comedy Club:
We got free tickets to a comedy show last Wednesday night! A bunch of us went out to a comedy club near Darling Harbour and got to see three stand up comedians while feasting on Chinese food. The comedians were hilarious - lots of jokes about Americans and some funny comments about the beach we're all living on. One comic sang parodies of a bunch of American songs, he made fun of the singers but also had totally random lyrics! There was definitely something about Aussie roadkill...
The Tarongua Zoo and amaaazing Shabbos dinner I went to this weekend deserve their own posts, as does tonight's adventure at the Sydney Swans footie game. Coming soon.
We spent today on the beach, doing a whole lot of nothing and soaking up the Australian sun. It's winter still, I think, and today it was about 75 degrees and perfectly sunny out. I couldn't be happier.
It's late, and time for bed before breakfast with the girls in the morning and a day at Bondi beach watching the craziness of the annual "city to surf" run. Followed by dinner with my flatmate Allie's mom! (then Monday will be a study day... I think it's about time)
Sweet dreams ~
