A lovely weekend in Sydney
I have been here for a week already. Time does fly! I start to like the city because it is clean and beautiful. Life is simple and easy. I work in the office - quite efficient. And I read or talk to the MCs after working hours. I am only having Asian food here because it is even better than Asian food in Asia because the very fresh ingredients. The prawns here are huge - I’ve taken pictures. ;-)
I got to spend a weekend chilling in the city without any AIESEC conversation - this is great!
I walked around on my own on Saturday. It is indeed a great thing to spend some time just with myself. I went to Darling Harbour, China Town, Opera House and Hyde Park. Pretty much everything a tourist should see. And of course, I did shopping. It is summer here though Australia is claimed to be 2 seasons behind when it comes to fashion. But I truly believe that Australia can lead the fashion 2 seasons ahead especially summer fashion. ;-) And I did find it quite behind in terms of fashion and quite expensive - again, this might be I came from Asia.
Saturday evening, we went out for drinks. I need to show my ID card everywhere and what I had with me was the Dutch residence card. A Chinese girl living in The Netherlands, sounds dodgy enough! Those security guards didn’t seem believe that it was a real residence card. They might haven’t seen it anyways. It was good fun get to drink a lot of different cocktails again - something I didn’t get to do when I was in Asia. ;p Something I always get to do when I was in China or Holland.
On Sunday, Penny took me to the fish market where you can buy everything fresh and cooked and quite cheap as well. I think we spend around 50 dollars for heaps of seafood - prawns, sashimi, chips and drinks. Meanwhile, the fish market is quite chaotic which I always like but stinky. ;-)
This coming week will be steering team meeting with AIESEC Australia’s long-term planning team. I am glad that life gets back to the country visit pace. I am also very excited to see the membership. I start to feel this trip is indeed worth it because I get quite a lot of insights of this organization. As judgmental as I always am, I need to ‘HOLD ON’ and observe a bit more before I piss people off. ;p
