More time spent in Sydney

So, rather annoyingly, on the day where I went out and saw the most to date, I'd forgotten my camera, missed some amazing shots, so I'm afraid I'll have to list them for you, I'll try to get them today, moody camera willing.

• The swarms of bats at the botanical gardens
• The opera house lit up with the bridge in the background
• The magnitude of the city itself
• A gigantic flock of parakeets

Plan today is to visit Taronga zoo, which is about 20 pounds to get into, but is apparently totally worth it.

I've met some pretty cool people thus far to, an ex-soldier mexican hairdresser called David, my english room mate Ryan who's been giving me tips on employment and surviving, a party machine german who'se got an infinite supply of sambuka and a nice 30 year old guy from Manchester whose temp employment at the moment is working on a help line for people with sexual issues.

Oh, and this is what a guy who's been here two months had to say about the place I'm staying in;
"Kings Cross? It's a zoo, a fucking human zoo. It's where everyone from all over Sydney comes to get totally smashed because it's so cheap, they get off their tits, fuck shit up and then leave to go back to their snug flats and houses."

Natch.
