i'm sure you're dying to know

seeing as i have been down under for about a week now, i'm sure that you're dying to know what i have been up to.  well... so far it hasn't been too too adventurous.  

i have settled into my apartment in bondi.  it's a ten min. walk to the beach, and a ten min. walk to bondi junction (where there are shops, a mall, and the train station).  by train, i'm only ten more min. from central sydney.  i looooove that i can (and have to) walk everywhere!!  we have this apartment for a month, and then we have to move!  and i am in need of a job.  positive cash flow = always a good thing.  apartment searching and job hunting have been two of my key activities (and will continue to be for a short while).  don't get me wrong though, i'm having a lot of fun and i've been relaxing a lot too.

things i've learned:

-you must look to the right first when crossing the street because people here drive on the wrong side of the road.

-'cheers' is a very commonly used form of 'goodbye'.

-on the toilets... there are two separate flush buttons: the one on the left is for #1, on the right #2

-there are many many many birds here.  the ones outside our apartment sound like dying cats at 7am! haha

-they don't have coffee like we have coffee.  they don't actually have what we call coffee.  so if you order a 'coffee' they look at you funny because 'coffee' can mean so many things.  so now i order a latte to avoid the crazy looks.

pictures to come.  promise.

ps. the opera house is currently my favorite site in sydney!!
