Leaving Sydney
I am on week 4 of my time in Sydney. It's been great, but I have decided there is lots more in Australia to see. I will be working a promotions job this week at a local university selling newspaper subscriptions because the weather is calling for rain at the beach. I think it will be fun and it pays $17/hr and will be 5 full days of work. Next week I am planning to go to surf camp 2 hours south of Sydney. Then I'll work one more weekend at the beach and start my journey up the east coast of Oz. There are a lot of places I want to visit. My plan is to go all the way up to Cairns.
On a different note, I have learned a good way to greet someone is to say, "How you going mate?"
And a not so good thing to say is "you're welcome." I don't think they know what I mean. I've found most Aussies just say "no worries" where I'd say you're welcome.
