And so the adventure begins. At 6:10 this morning, my plane finally touched down in Sydney, Australia after a fairly smooth 14-hour flight during which I managed to entirely lose Wednesday. On the flight, I sat next to a nice Australian named Scott, who looked like Zac Efron's brother and was returning home from a 5-week road tripping tour of the United States during which he had managed to see more of America than I ever have. Makes you wonder how well you really know the country you’re living in and inspires the need for a “roadtrip, anyone?”… But anyway, we had a fun time exchanging stories and he gave me a good overview of what I have to experience and see while I’m in Sydney. My conclusion: Australians are wonderful people and I can’t wait to immerse myself in their culture!
Once on the ground, everything went smoothly and I quickly made my way through security and found the reception service, which then deposited me, bags and all, in front of my apartment complex, Balaclava Apartments. On first impression, it looks like a great little apartment complex, lush and green with blooming flowers, three story apartment buildings, and a nice indoor pool-Jacuzzi-sauna complex. Also, to my delight, my “flat” was on the third floor and had a large balcony with a great view of everything. No flatmate sightings yet, but I hope to meet them soon.
So, I now have an official address here, feel free to write me or ask for postcards from Oz!
