Life in Sydney

speaking of cats... the cat loves me. every evening /night no matter what time I get home...he will come sit on my lap and sleeps there for a bit. Im somewhat allergic at times, so I try not to touch him its a weird arrangement...

work -- into my 3rd week now. much less stressful than my job in thailand...but I prefer the one I had there. Ive been talking to another unit here about doing some volunteer work though...so I suppose soon I could be back to overworking myself again

my social life is still very limited....just a few friends I go out to lunch or dinner with every now and then. havent met many new people. people at work are nice...but they dont seem to hang out or do the social thing. where else would one new in a country meet people? I dont do sports, church or the bar scene. does limit my options doesnt it......

footie...thats my other complaint...I have cable at home..but the hours of the games are impossible.....very very late nights or early early mornings.

despite that...I am getting the aussie experience. will be going out to the country this weekend, and at easter my first camping trip in over 15 years

on the whole...Im doing ok. enjoying Sydney...especially the varied food on offer. my week is always multicultural... dinner in a week goes like this:
greek monday
indian tuesday
thai wednesday
korean thursday
african friday
vietnamese saturday
italian sunday

or variations of the above..replace korean with japanese, replace greek with lebanese, replace vietnamese with chinese, replace italian with portuguese or brasilian.
