So, I arrived to Sydney Friday May 21st at 6:37 am Australia time. The remainder of Friday I spent unpacking and walking around Waverley, which is a suburb of Sydney that I am living in. I wanted to figure out where the public transportation was in Waverley and how to use it to get to Sydney and other suburbs of the city. I didn't last long exploring do to the fact that I was exhausted and had been up for 43 hours.

Saturday, I took the train into Sydney from Waverley and met up with Mario a representative from global experiences. We discussed my first day of starting work at Camilla's and what type of public transportation would be the best for me to get to and from work. To get to work I have about a 20 minute walk to the bus station in Bondi Junction, and from the bus station a 10 minute bus ride to Bondi Beach which is where my internship at Camilla's is located. After meeting with Mario I went to the Market to get some food. I knew that items would be more expensive here, but never thought that I would be paying $6 for a small brown sandwich bag of apples. Adjusting to their prices is going to take some getting used to.

Sunday, today was pretty low key. I walked in the rain again for the 3rd day in a row to Bondi Junction. I think packing my umbrella was the smartest move that I made. It is has been cold and rainy since I have been here, but that is pretty typical for their fall/winter here. From Bondi Junction I took the bus to Bondi Beach to make sure I could find my internship site for my first day of work on Monday. I took a picture of the outside of Camilla's and will be posting it shortly. I am very excited and eager to start work 2moro. Let the internship begin Mon.-Fri. 9am-6pm.
