One of the last trips this semester was to Sydney. Me, Angelina, Danielle, Tuva, and her friend Sara all decided to go the weekend of my birthday. With no one able to drive us to the airport we took a bus and two trains to the Brisbane airport then flew to Sydney at 9:00 pm. Then it was another two trains and a bus to Macquarie University where we met up with Jared who I work with back at St. Norbert. The whole trip took 10 hours and we were exhausted. After one night in Jared's hell hole of an apartment :P we decided to book a hostel closer to the city. Jared and his friends were so nice and showed us around! We saw the red bull air show (the ones you may have seen on commercials where they make floats and try to launch them off a ramp) and got some amazing pictures with the opera house. That night for Jared's birthday he took us to a German restaurant and we enjoyed a few drinks at other bars. One bar we went to had a beautiful view of the city from the roof but we weren't able to stay long because there was a wedding reception taking place. We found out that we had a roommate for the next two nights named Leo. He was 26 and was originally from Australia. He is now living with his girlfriend in Sweden. He was really nice and thought we were pretty hysterical. He now cringes at the thought of having daughters :)
