Clipped and curt...somewhat

I have to admit, I really like this blog thing. I was resistant at first, but I actually look forward to updating...it's fun!

On that note, I have to keep this short, because I only have 10 minutes left before my account runs out, and I'm too cheap to buy more minutes.

Random and surreal are the key words for the past few days. I spent the day on Monday doing touristy things like visiting the royal botanical gardens and Mrs. Macquaries point, the ultimate picture postcard spot. Then I went to the Chinese Gardens and ran into this Swiss German girl, Rogda, who I met at Becca's hostel in Bondi last week. She had been talking to these 2 Italian lawyers who were dressed up in these kimonos that the Gardens let you wear for $10 and after chatting for like 2 minutes, they asked us for our e-mail addresses, then to their house for dinner, then out later for drinks. Man, these Italian men move fast! Of course, we didn't comply cause that's just too shady, but I got their email addresses if I want...who knows, maybe I'll feel like some spaghetti one of these days ;-)

After the Gardens, Rogda and I went to the IMAX theatre to check prices and times for The Polar Express in 3D and it happened to be starting in 10 minutes, so we just bought tickets. It was typical schmaltzy Tom Hanks/Robert Zemeckis, but cute nonetheless and awesome on IMAX and 3D!

3 minutes left so Part 2 at a later date.

Ciao!
