Today started out fairly early. Hostel life is not conducive to sleeping. The beds aren't bad but it is the other people in the room waking up and talking is the worst. As I was up at 5 am, I decided to last minute Skype Miranda. It was a good three hour chat on everything.
From there I went to Starbucks and people watched for a while. I finally got my gold card. I am now a card carrying Starbucks member. It should arrive in the mail soon.
A friend from my Contiki tour, Ilir, came and picked me up in the early afternoon. He showed me around Parramatta first then took me to a RFL (Rugby League) game. It was the Eels v. Knights which from what he said are the two worst teams in the league. I had a lot of fun anyways. Rugby is a lot rougher than AFL but I honestly prefer AFL cause I understand it. It was good to catch up with him. Contiki seems to be a great way to make friends across the world. After the game, he took me to a family BBQ. God, it was wonderful to eat around a bonfire. I really can't wait to be home.
Later this evening, Ilir, showed me around the Cockle Bay Wharf. It is spectacular at night. The fireworks were neat for Canada day. The casino was very architecturally designed but honestly not my thing. It was too high class and snooty for me.
