Well today I did as Sydneyers do, I J-walked. Literally, the one notable thing that Sydneyers are very good at is J-walking. They do it every time, right in front of cops sitting in police car, but they didn’t seem to mind, that or they were on their lunch break. Of course, the first time I tried to do it, I made the mistake of looking the wrong direction as I nearly walked in front of a bus. You kind of forget that these people drive on the wrong side of the road, thus you look the wrong way, and get up close and personal with several different kinds of vehicles. I am happy to report though, that both Christian and I have successfully concurred the art of Australian J-walking, and can now do it as well as any native Sydneyer, with the exception that we are wearing t-shirts.
Well, as I bet you will be finding out soon enough, I bought a car today, no not this one,
or this one, 
but this one 
and tomorrow we will be leaving Sydney, which will be nice. Sydney is a nice city, but we are ready to get out of here, it is just too busy, I want to discover the other side of Australia, that and we are going to be back here at the end of our trip, so I am ready to leave. I admit, that tomorrow will be a very weird and hectic drive and a story all on its own. We plan on heading to a city of 250,000 south of Sydney, I forget what it is called, but we need to pick up some more gear, in a city that is a little more car friendly. Well, we will update you when we get back to internet. Talk to you later, I have to finish packing and doing some other stuff. By the way you have no clue how weird it is to hear Christmas music in 32 degree weather? Don’t worry, I won’t brag.
I believe that the more accurate term for "Sydneyers" is "Sydneysiders".... it's weird, I know, but hey, it is Australia after all!
