Next stop, teh Golden Coast

My time in Melbourne comes to an end so time to write some sort of recap. We arrived on teh 15th and since i screwed up with our flat here we had to stay teh first night in some hotel around teh corner which was allright though. On teh 16th we could finally move into our pad here which is def. better than teh one in Sydney because it's cheaper, larger and has 2 decent bedrooms - only downside is that it's a little bit moar far from teh beach but after 10mins walk you are there no biggie. We staying in St Kilda here and this suburb has defintitely an interesting fucked-up vibe which i like alot. You see all kind of different people on teh street ranging from tourists, surfers, backpacker, bums and hookers. Also funny is that we are basically living 100m away from teh street prostituion hotspot of Melbourne which we realized after seeing those girls grinding street corners in their heels during bright daylight - kinda clueless though which guy takes their services bc they all hea...

Counting down those days...

Saturday afternoon here and i'm slightly hungover and not able or willing to work so i might just update teh blog i figured. After 12 days in sydney i'm counting down teh days already to move on. 12 days is not really a long time but for sure long enough to know that tis is not my city and will never be. My first impression that all tis is just another version of London with way better weather becomes moar and moar obvious. And people who know me know that i'm not teh biggest fan... In general everything is quite cool. People are relaxed and friendly, food is decent, weather is good, you feel safe everywhere, everything is nice, clean and modern, etc. But when i take a look at all teh small things i just find so many things which piss me off so much that i wanna puke. I already mentioned teh prices and probably could write a book about it but if you come from europe it is even hard to imagine if you haven't seen it for yourself. I laughed at those people telling me abou...

2013 has started - first impressions of Sydney

Allrighty, arrived on teh 29th so here for a couple of days and ready to share my first impressions of sydney with you guys. First and foremost happy new year and best of luck to everybody. At the airport i was waiting in a line which was literally 300m long until i could present my passport after 45minutes and thereafter you have to wait another couple of minutes with your bags on the ground while they send a doggy sniffing on your lugage. Have never experienced such strict customs anywhere so far but they really don't want to get any food/drugs whatsoever in their country. Nevertheless managed to bring in my protein powder even though i almost threw it away at one point. After this procedure i met my main travel buddy in the arrival hall and we proceeded to a taxi after buying some aussie sim cards for our phones. Since teh airport is insanely central for such a big city we arrived in our new home 20 minutes later: living room Location is pretty superb with seaviews and only 200m...
