The first night I got a really bad taste of Sydney, some aboriginal was pretty rude along with the transit worker who couldn't speak loud enough because his chin was in the way. We met up with our flatmates and Anand's peeps and that improved the situation.

We stayed at the Wake Up! Sydney Central hostel. We got a 2 bed room for Anand and I to share, it was fine but I think I'm over the age of hosteling it. Even though we had our own room the atmosphere just wasn't for me, not to mention that I think the place was suffering from a mold problem or something like that. I guess you get what you pay for. Hotel next time!
The morning after we arrived we did the Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb! It was pretty awesome. It was opened in 1932 and weighs 39,000 tons. It's span is 1,650 feet and the summit is 440 feet above mean sea level. It didn't feel that high but we were secured to the bridge and there were stairs. The view was amazing. We couldn't take cameras up, so this is the only photo we have - the rest is memories.

View from Swetta's balcony in Bondi Junction. We stayed with her for the weekend, thank GOD. I had enough of that hostel by then.
Ribs at Hurricaines Grill & Bar in Darling Harbour. I highly recommend them.
Anika and I at Bungalo 8 where we tried to all go clubbing. Anand didn't get in. We weren't there long but it was fun!
Kangaroo! You eat it rare or else it's too chewy. Pretty tough meat. I would pick an Alberta Steak over it anyday! I Love Alberta Beef!Slideshow of all photos...
