The Good Life

April 23rd

Decided on Star City Casino, the only operating casino in New South Wales, and the 2nd largest in all of Australia after one in Melbourne. All the gaurds were quite intimidating at the entrance and all around. The floor was massive and filled with a majority of Asian tourists. I don't remember ever going to a casino with actual card tables. It is insane how quickly people win and lose money, and how much they bet each time. I saw one guy drop about 80 Australian dollars in chips and it was gone in a second. I like to feel control in my own fate, thank you. So I didn't bet anything, but Zach ended 15 dollars up, and my other friend, Casey, ended 3 dollars up.

On the walk back through Darling Harbour we passed street performers and establishment after establishment. Gazing into the playful water with its slight glimmer of reflective light, I could hardly wonder how I'll ever leave this chapter in my life...
