[b]Day 62 [/b]

So its been 2 months since ive been away, seems much longer.. ive done and seen so much.

But anyway ive left my Beach Bum days behind and moved into the Big City. A place called Glebe which is close to my new job.(Oh i got the job by the way!) but once again im living in a hostel but its a nice one (if not a touch expensive) run by the YHA, so its got everything I need until i find my feet in work and look for a room somewhere.

Glebe is the student area of Sydney right next to the Uni , reminds me of Wavertree in away ( but alot nicer and sunnier) loads of little cafes, restaurants, bookshops, kebab houses, pubs, parks etc (actually reading that besides the boozers and the greasy takeaways its nothing like Wavertree..but its got that city/student feel.. l like it anyway)
Talking of boozers the nearest pub to the hostel is called The Toxteth! How cool is that, going in later to check it out.(might be full of pimps and gangster a bit like The Lamb... talking of which Sydney's gangsters keep killing each other all the time, everytime you switch on the news another gangland attack has taken place... it making me homesick!)

Spent this morning arguing with Bank staff about opening an account, I didn't have enough ID points on me (so therefore i could be into international money laundry!) i had to lie in the end said i still worked for the Civil Service and showed them my old pass ( "We use to run this country you know! and i'll be having serious words with Whitehall about taking it back!!)
But it worked.

So im all ready for my new job on Monday, well almost ready got to find the place again. Its around here somewhere... so im going to get lost in my bid to find it again.
