Day2 in Sydney, Australia

Two of my Roommates will leave today(left side). The girl is from Estonia and the tall boy with glasses is major in music. We just shot with strange degree and faces. They are very kind for me, a new comer from Taiwan. Thanks for your kind and I'll miss you guys!! keep in touch.

I just take a walk around my hostel. It's fucking convenient!!!!! Let's see:

Fashion library!

Cheap super market! There are two super markets in Australia. Another one is WoolWorths. I think part of things in Coles are cheap. They both use a cool machine for check out: auto-paid machine! I didn't see it before and my checking can be finished in 5 minutes. Guys, how easy with it!!!

King Cross Train Station

Functions are more similar to the print shop. But there are more web based and automatic.

Drug store. Medicine is very full range and  cheap. So don't take too much to Australia city again!! Luckily, I didn't be asked too much in when passing custom.

British shop. I just talk a little(ok..more) with the shop assistant. She also takes a working holiday visa and is a good talker.

There are three biggest banks in OZ(Australia): ANZ, NAB and commonwealth bank. Choose one of three can promise you cannot find the service point or ATM. ANZ is the biggest one and cooperate with Mega bank in Taiwan. NAB doesn't charge you with account keeping fee. Commonwealth bank can create a retirement account when you open a salary account.

There is Vincent College in the corner of the city.

Outlet is in the opposite. It's really cheap!!!

 There are a lot of India attendant here.

I want to apply for the Woolworths Prepaid Cap. It's cooperate with Optus company. You can have 5GBs limited network flow in 45 days and 300 AUD for talk. It's an amazing option for backpackers. But you cannot share the iPhone personal hotspot with your notebook. You can only get the sim card in the woolworths market. When I ask for it, the King Cross Woolworths' told me just go to mobile phone shop and buy it. But it's sold in Woolworths market only!!!!! I just went back and forth three times this afternoon! At last the staff finally told me "They are just sold out and not inventories." Can you tell me the biggest point earlier? lady!!

The first meal cooked myself. someone said "It's seems so-so. We need to pass some Taiwan delicious food pictures to you." Well Just do it!!! Who afraid who!?!?

A new map( important tool) get from hostel. I will go visit Sydney Opera House. Don't miss the "Stephen's live blogging" tomorrow. :D

Day 1 in Sydney, Australia.

There are some free bread and cola when I wake in the flight. That's a gift from an strange aunt who is sitting next to me. We don't know each other before but just share her source with me and say bye-bye when we leave the flight. That's a packer's standard drama everyday. Hello and have a nice day. That's a good start.

When I was leaving the flight, the broadcast sounded: "Is any customer lost his dentures? Please contact with flight attendants." Then I retrieve my tooth maintainer. anyway, that's a good start.

When I leave the Sydney airport, I meet Jude in the shuttle bus. who is an passenger from England. I know her name which is same with one of my friend in Taiwan. we talk a little and I invite her to be the first signer on the trip book which is given from Patricia.

Now I am stay in Dury House hostel which is near by "Sydney Opera" but only cost for AUD $135 pear week!! The good and bad news are there are red light area everywhere. 

I just walk around and talk with a convenient shop clerk in the afternoon. the food is very expensive. A bugger cost $5 AUD, a lemon tea and 2 chocolates cost 8.5 AUD. I need to find the super market and ready some kitchenware for my stomach.

There are handsome boys and beauty girls everywhere. I think girl is more. Hollywood should find stars of the future here!

The first image of Sydney is clean street and Relaxed atmosphere. You cannot believe both Sydney and Taipei are the major city of a country. Many young people are holding drink party or dressing for carnival. The sun is still shining with the moon at 6:00 p.m.

When I'm on the way to the hostel, there is a stranger seems to attack me throwing the bottle. I turn around and gazing him, then he run away across the street and say "fuxx" to me through his figure.  I think is just a monkey business but I still told my roommate. We need to be careful. anyway, this is an good ending.

About my roommates  there are 1 couple from Romania and 1 couple from Korea. 1 girl called Dania and the other gold hair boy. we have no longer time for chat. now I am in the social hall. White people like to watch football games on TV and also fuxx off around here. haha. others prepare there dinner in the kitchen. The Aroma of the toast is compelling. Meal time is a good time for watching TV and making different friends.

I hope I can keep blogging in English day by day. It's not only shared my trip but improve my English ability. I need to increase two of my abilities: one is memory about different world names, the other is reduce the labyrinthine Views.

Tomorrow will be a busy day. I hope I can finish my TFN, mobile and bank account apply. Also walk around the Sydney Opera and finish my resume for job apply.

Day 0 from Taipei to Singapore

上車前老媽慌張的叨唸塞$，跟外婆一個樣子；老爸床前擁抱叮嚀，退伍後第一次鼻子擦檸檬。

眾多Suitcase 中backpack 真的挺特立，享受另一種注目禮送行。

Backpackers lesson one: sit and eat everywhere when you want. Don't care about looking eyes. Just give them a smile.

Making a new friend with Alina who is just finished a business trip and go back to Singapore. She told me many good points in Singapore airport. I think I can enjoy a free massage and movie tonight. Then Jerry send a SMS to me for biking. He doesn't know I am already in the airport. Haha. New friends are sliver. Old are golden. That's true. Keep gold until we get older and older. For my dream, I paid some price, like ten years brothers weddings. But I think we all worth. Pay and take. This is the basic rule in the world.

There are 2cute Singapore children dancing lady and hidden boy around me. :)

Night view is really great in sin.
There are a lot of boats over the sea for tour or business.
Lighting!

Why I go to Sydney ?
Maybe cause of 2000 Sydney olynpic game? I got a watch over 13 years when I was grade 9. Remember that? My friends.

It's 21 o'clock now. There are still many people around the airport.

I am so hungry now. Hunting time. See you guys.

Dinner.

10 minutes later.


To my family:
飛機飛的再高，也得降落，
船支航的再遠，也會靠岸，
遠在各地的遊子，
不可能忘了剛上機的心情，著路的記憶。

1、整個過程與傳統對發票時間差不多。
2、認真對待一切收據丶帳單丶信用卡簽單丶卡片丶ATM提款單及發票，一如對待自己皮夾內會員卡丶零錢丶名片與鈔票。他們也會好好回應你。
3、塑膠貨幣是EVIL ITEM. （包括信用卡丶小額付款丶優悠卡，以及將推行的手機付款機制。）

這些年3C產業丶行動付款與行銷蔚成顯學，商人千方百計要我們買單，而我們也在各種人性弱點中一次次不小心被說服，並始終相信自己是理智的Buyer（至少曾努力維持過）。「科技始終來自人性」，若一切只促使股市指數上下跳舞丶生活越發忙碌焦慮丶各種酷炫物質競購丶確保公司財報穩當，卻常在夜晚認不得鏡前自己的行為，我想某種程度上人性已經相當「科技」。
