Now I’ll just tell you a little about what I did when I returned to Sydney after my unlucky Canberra trip. Well, the fist days I just tried to recover as much as possible from my sickness. After that period I went in a got-to-spend-less-possible period (after discovering that I almost spend 2000$ in 1 month), so it was no more night clubbing or fast food places for me. My main focus was getting a job and earn some good money before moving on, well lets just say it as it is, I failed deeply. I made a lot of phone calls, stamped heaps of CV’s and spend much time going from door to door, but without luck. Then my friend that I meet on my first week in Sydney called me and we decided to have Christmas and NYE together in a little (but famous) surfer/backpacker town called Byron Bay. Then one week before I had to leave for Byron Bay I got a call from some work I had searched weeks before, they needed a hand to move stuff for their relocation business; so I applied for the job. The bad thing about the job was that there wasn’t work every day, so I only got to work one single day :( , that really sucked. Well, the thing that sucked most was that I only got to work for 4 hours, and that made me 80$, but then there was my suit that costed 30$ and after that I had to pay TAX too (of cause), so my cash-in-hand was only silly 43$ :( , anyway, better than nothing. Before I left Sydney I decided to buy a ticket to the cinema, what I didn’t knew was that it is the biggest IMAX cinema in the world (thought it was in America somewhere), anyway, I have to say that I was really a big experience for me. Actually when I booked the tickets I got to choose my seat, and I pointed to one of the seats in the middle, then the lady selling the ticket went, “well, that’s a bad place, because you wont be able to see the whole screen and your eyes will begin to hurt after some time”, so I got a seat in the final row right in the middle. I think that was the best seat you could get in the whole cinema, another great thing was that the final row was double raised compared to the other seats, so it was great; many times it felt just like being in the movie, because you couldn’t see the other people if you looked straight and also because you couldn’t really judge the distance to the screen; so if you happen to go to Sydney, be sure to visit the IMAX cinema! Oh right, didn’t even tell you the best part of it :) , I only payed 22$ to go to the cinema :P , so awesome :D . Anyway, enough cinema talk. Apart the cinema I really didn’t do much stuff while on my second stay in Sydney, in fact the only time I got to use my camera was at a donation raising event, where people of all ages could make different creative stuff, like painting, learn dance steps, ride a mono-wheel bike plus other stuff.

After my stay in Sydney it was time to head for Byron Bay, to celebrate christmas and NYE there with my friend; the only problem was that I didn’t find any cheap train tickets, because the train didn’t go though Byron Bay, so when you bought the ticket you also payed for a 1 hour bus ticket to Byron Bay ;(. But in the end I found the perfect solution, a ticket to Brisbane! Yep, even though Brisbane was 150km further from Sydney than Byron Bay the ticket was cheaper, so I just went all the way up to Brisbane to meet my friend, and then go down to Byron Bay with him, hehe, quirt cool huh?

Just a reminder, I didn’t write this message on the 24th, I have modified the data on it in order to keep things organised and easy to follow here on my blog :) .

That was all for my Sydney stay, see you soon folks :) .
