A new day, a new home

Well, we managed to move. It wasn't hard considering the hotel we were in before here. I mean we were practically running out of the place. Anyway, the place is in the Waterloo district of Sydney. We're on the 9th floor of an apartment complex and have almost panoramic views of Sydney. Like Manly, this is indeed another house share. Currently, we are sharing with two Slovakian guys, and a Brazillian chap call Gustavo. There is gonna be a German moving in on the weekend too. As you can tell this is a pretty big apartment, so big in fact that Andrea is pretending she is Rachael from Friends. The two Slovakian chaps share the same room, don't speak much English except for "hello" and "goodnight". They spend all their time in their room, the only reason we know that they're in is that they pop out to one of the balconies now and again for a cigarette.

Gustavo is a good chap. He is going to college here studying either English or Business Studies. It's summer holidays for him at the moment so he's holding down two cleaning jobs. The first is from 6 to 9 in the morning, the other is from 6 til 11 or 12 in the evening. Andrea thought the chap batted for the other side, but Gustavo dispelled that myth when he said that he went to a club after work yesterday 'cause they had a wet t-shirt contest. Due to his work hours, it's only in the afternoon that we see him around.

The complex itself has a nice gym, three pools, a jacutzy, sauna, spa ... all free too ! There are a load of shops, restaurants, takeaways too. The only problem with the place is that there seems to be a lot of Mosquitoes around and the past two days have seen Andrea and I get bitten to buggery!

We'll get some photos up of the place when we've taken them :) You never know you might see the Slovakians!
