16th August, Productive day

Been sorting stuff out slowly but surely. Got my australian bank ac sorted, got my work visa passport stamp – didn’t know I’d needed one but least I am legal now. GOt a shared apartment right in the centre at the tallest appartment blocks in australia – world towers with a gym sauna swimming pool. Which is nice…

Job wise still applying but just got a contact for a really good office temping work but hey its cash… Just been drinking the nights away with ridiculously shit wine (or goon as they call it here) which is really bad but it gets the job done. Been hanging with the guys at the dorm 4 other northern guys. Literally with no cash and sorting out jobs themselves.

Met up with Jacky who I met with in beijing who lives here which was cool, and going to met up with Liz too who was Kate’s mate whom I met in shanghai.

So least I have accomodation sorted for the month and need to get money into the australian acount which stands at only $50…

THere’s loads I havn’t done but plan on doing more tourist stuff when Emma and Kate who I met at cape tribulation come down so I’ll check out the manly and bondi beach then and various other points of interest…
