Exploration around the city

Have been busy with course transfers, bank, accommodation settling down these few days.
At last we managed to arrange some weekend activities!!

Bondi Beach is the first beach I'd been to since arriving this slow paced city. No doubt it is an extremely beautiful beach. So huge and the water is so clear. Everything's just perfect. Except for the weather forecast was not too reliable, and I did not bring my swimming costume from Malaysia. 
Nevertheless, I enjoyed myself. It has been awhile since I made a sand castle with my friends. Those were the days.
The next afternoon, me and my housemates went to the Sydney Fish Market. It is a famous place for seafood, cheap and fresh, that's what we heard from people around. It took us about 25 minutes to walk there, plus some time looking at the map....haha. And there were a lot of people, definitely a lot of seafood too. But erm, it's not cheap actually. We still reward ourselves with a Seafood Platter, well, some good food before school starts...haha. And it was tremendously tasty!!! I love Calamari Rings the most! Owh, and I also bought a packet of Teriyaki Salmon for lunch the next day.

After Fish Market, we headed to the Casino. Well, it's nothing special to be honest, after I've been to Macau's casinos several times. Owh ya, and they don't serve free drinks!

That night, we went to see the Mardi Gras Parade. It is the largest annual parade they have in Sydney. People have been queuing up around the streets since noon to witness it. We went there pretty late, hence, we didn't really get to see the moving parade, instead we just went around the place they queue up. It was a crazy night, and well, I think perhaps I'll watch the parade online, Youtube maybe. Haha.

And we took a long rest on Sunday. Almost all day staying at home, even for meals.
To be honest, I can't wait to go back to study, and see what studying is like in Sydney!!
