Greets from Sydney

Solari · 6 Oct 2008 at 08:18

Well I made it here in one piece and am slowly getting over the massive Jet Lag from the direct flight.. but... the sun is shining and I've had a good day wandering around Darling Harbour (where I will be working) and around Chinatown... Awesome place and I've already seen a lot more than I did on my last visit :eek:

So... Hello OcUK - How's Blighty?

What time is it there? 8:15PM? Its odd thinking that down under they are 12 hours in front?, back?

6:19pm at the moment

Despite being upside-down, I'm not falling off the planet yet

Qantas - you do stop for refuelling, but it's a very short stop at Singapore. ie: you get back on the same plane about half an hour later.

Watch it mate, now you're here you'll never want to leave.

I came here for a 6 month holiday nearly 3 years ago. :eek:

If you ever fancy a beer drop me an e-mail. I only work 5 mins away up on Castlereagh Street.

Bit chilly today only 22c, Saturday was better 36c

I recon it's gonna be a scorcher this year.
