Post#364: Rain is infectious
I know it because I brought the monsoon from Vancouver. It was miserable the first day but if there’s one thing I’ve learnt is that the windsurfers in Sydney are to be envied. Because the wind has been absolutely fantastic. I need to google up rental places or something. But for now… I think I’m just awfully jet lagged…
We went to Bondi Junction and there’s a mall called Westfield there. That’s one ridiculous mall. It’s about as big as Park Royal but with 5 or 6 different levels. I’m not sure if they have that many. But they probably do. It reminds me of those awfully posh malls like Taikoo centre in Hong Kong where everyone dresses nicely, has their hair done up nicely… LOOKS nice. Looking at some of the guys here, I can’t figure out if they’re trendy or gay. Some of them seriously look like they walked out of a magazine cover…
And then today I spent the day walking around Blues Point along the coast. And I saw Luna Park and the bridge. It’s a nice coastline.
If there’s something I really like about Sydney though, it’s the old buildings. and the old apartments and homes. They all look really English.. but beachy at the same time. If I lived in one of those, I don’t think I could ever concentrate on working because I would feel like I was constantly on holiday. Especially with those beaches.
