As long as it keeps me going

Here we are, already 6 days in Sydney almost a week... It has been a month since I last staied that long in the same place the only thing is I don't feel bored at all!!! While a week ago I was feeling completely confused, in need of more travels... meeting new people seeing new things... I now can say that I really really like Sydney... Let's go back to when everything turned pink again lol.. Well I reckon it was Friday and even more Saturday... The SUN is here and it s so hot here when it s sunny and it s so much nicer I can just walk around the city, take a nap in one of their numerous parks and so...
On Friday night I met Michael (A made in Sydney Aussie I met at the down under exhibition last October in Dublin) who took me out, well invited me to join him in a Sydney standard night out with Australians... I am really grateful to him for taking me out... It was a great and fun night although I didn't feel too comfortable in my thai clothes lolol + as a backpacker you don't get the chance to go out so much with aussies, you obviously wander around the backpacker places instead. Anyway that night really opened my appetite to discover a lot more about Sydney's night life.
On Saturday: Mardi Gras! The 2nd biggest gay & lesbian pride in the world. Before that I met Laurent (qui passe par ailleurs le bonjour a Titi, Caro & Manue ;)) who has been living in Australia for already 2 years... It was good to see him and hear about his experience, I think he really likes it a lot here.. I wouldn't be surprised if he staied another 2 more years ;)
Anyway we headed together to the Mardi Gras, which was Crazy, Nuts!!! People dressed up everywhere, people drinking in the streets, parks....
The parade was good although a little disapointing I was expecting something a little bigger, unfortunately most of the parade was about people walking on the ground.. so being at the back we happened to miss a good bit :( After that we headed to Scruffy Murphys, full of backpackers, girls dressing up as the YMCA band and dancing on the bar lol.. I met a few people including an english with whom I talked about Thailand... aahhh Thailand!
Sunday, rest, I joined Emilie and her boyfriend (I met Emilie in Thailand) we wondered around the city, searched for a place where to eat and finally ended up in Hungry Jacks lol
Since Monday I have started my new cleaning jobs at the hostel... stairs up and down and up and down lol...clean, clean, clean lol and in the afternoon Interviews... I am fully interviews booked for the afternoons... on Monday a marketing company, today recruitment agencies... after 6 days in Sydney I already hear about Sponsorship ... Interesting ;) Next 2 days more interviews and hopefully Friday ... rest :D
The backpacker life here is amazing! there are organised nights all week long, free drinks, meals, cheap drinks, cheap movies... the choice is huge and I happen to stay in the best place in Sydney, 5 minutes walk from the business centre... 5 minutes walk from the night life centre lol
Last night I organised the first sushi night, everybody in the hostel was quite impressed with my skill lol
So to summarise a little: I really like it here, it's fun and full of opportunities + loads of ppl to meet and share experiences with...
I have to go there is a cockroach walking around the computer and this one is quite big.
PS: Ian, now I know what you meant and understand how you felt when you were talking to me about OZ... It's just as you said, amazing!
