To quit, or not to quit. That has been the question on my mind this week?
Working at the bar on Darling Harbour has been, and is still, amazing. Working at the bar/restaurant in the centre of the city, however, has not been great. The minute I set foot back in the bar to start my first shift I felt the life get sucked right out of me (and not in a fun i'm obsessed with vampires kinda way). The people there, however polite and friendly, are all zombies, and the customers are not only uptight and rude, they don't tip! :-0 Not wanting to be a quitter my immediate reaction was to get over it, man up, and carry on. Then a friend reminded me I didn't come to Australia to "cope", I came for the experience of a lifetime, and this place just didn't fit into that plan...
This week I have also made a list of all the things I want to see and do before I leave Sydney, and I have started diligently ticking them off. A friend and I went to the Sydney fish market, and oh my goodness it stank! I like the smell of fish but I still had to let myself adjust. We then moved onto Woolloomooloo - best name for a place ever! - and checked out the jelly fish at the wharf :-) . Woolloomooloo is nice but personnally I would say it's name is the best thing about it. I also spent a morning at Balmoral beach with friends, sipping iced mocha's on the beach front, and revelling in the family atmosphere that so many places we have been to are lacking. Then later today we will be going to the Powerhouse museum and we might even see the Harry Potter exhibition :-) yaaaaay!
