Sydney Day

Arrived at 9am yesterday and it took over an hour to get through customs, which was surprising because last time it barely took 15mins. There were so so many people all queued up at the airport and a lot of grumpy stuff members. It was a lot different than other times I've landed in sydney. We got the train into the city and got set up at our hostel, crashed out for a bit and then went to Paddys Market for some awesome cheap fruit and veg. My friend got a new Iphone cover and a cute ozzie carrybag. Then we got the train up north a bit and met my friend at her school so we could go catch up. We ended up getting a hot choc at a bar where there were a huge group of irish and welsh supporters about to watch the game, it was a bit scary sitting there in the middle of them screaming at the tv. Then we went to Sushi Train, a restaurant I was looking forward to going to see. They have a little moving belt that they put the food on and you just choose which dishes you want to try, then pay for it at the end. It was so much fun. Then we went shopping at Myers and all tried on the same beautiful dress, unfortunately it didn't fit any of the three of us. We got dropped off at the hostel and intended to just lie down for a minute, I woke up 3hrs later and my friend woke up 12hrs later. Considering we'd only had minimal sleep the night before it was great. I felt so much better in the morning.

Today we went to see General Conference, then got the free bus around town, rung people at home and had a delicious dinner. It was great. Tomorrow we're going to Luna Park, this revived 1930s amusement park, I'm looking forward to it.
