Back On the King

Feb 20th

Cricket's really popular here

The famous Glebe Market ran today on the other side of campus and down Glebe Street. It was rather upper-class for a market, most of the items were for women and were not actually cheap.

King's street, I live at SUV, and tonight I went to Kuleto's Cocktail bar (in the central area) and Bank Hotel (off the map)

At night, I went out on King Street with the two Zachs, and a few of the Aussies I've been hanging out with. They dance significantly less dirty than Americans here. They actually dance instead of just getting it on on the dance floor. Finally, actual dancing! One Aussie, named Simon, is an elaborate pianist. He played one of his own made up jazz songs, and it was riveting. His band is playing this week near Bondi Beach, and I might go and see him.

Keep it level!

Welcome to Uni

The Main Quadrangle

Woke up for orientation early, and walked over to campus. The campus is very walkable! It takes a maximum of ten minutes to get anywhere on campus. We started off in the great hall in the most stunning building. It looks just like something out of Hogwarts from Harry Potter!

Outside Sydney University's Great Hall

In one lecture we got to pet dingos! This is probably the only time I'll ever get to pet one, as they are wild animals, and native only to Australia. I went over to visit friends at St. John's college. They have quite a nice building complex as well.

In the night I befriended some Aussies, and hung out with them for a bit. They seem pretty cool. They were very inquisitive about American culture. They proclaimed themselves to be wannabe musos (musicians). They thought I was the first nice American they had met in a while, and in typical Oz style they nicknamed me Jono.

Keep it level!
