A$2 breakfast wrap from Mac, the most budget breakfast so far
Yet another ferry day...
Some luxurious housing at the suburb of Sydney
The original & the photo-shopped:
Oops, I turned the bridge blue =X
Local retirement village...
Seafood platter feeds 2...
Customs House @ Circular Quay
A scaled model of the city beneath our feet...
"free internet access" on the Dell system with a 27" LCD...
Took another ferry to the very far Birkenhead for some DFO shopping..
It ended in disappointment...
Only bought a pair of Ripcurl leather slippers,
@ A$7 instead of the usual $39.95,
82% discount anyone?
I walked through the entire Glebe Point
Road looking for food...
While I was enjoying the delicious Glebe Beef Burger (A$5), disaster strikes.
Somehow steam from the boiler set off the fire alarm, the entire hostel had to be evacuated & the fire engine came...
Where's The Beef?

Measuring noise pollution @ every corner of the city...

A good shot of Sydney Harbour Bridge & you-know-what-it-is on a fast moving ferry
Google Maps: Sydney Harbour Bridge
Visited some bank's museum...
Lunch time:
Very local calamari ring + fries combo for approx S$9
6,300km away from home...
Another round of ferry...
The slower & older type of ferry...
Nothing except some crazy half-naked ang moh drinking beer & fishing at the jetty in this cold weather...
Yet another beautiful purple sunset...
It's complete darkness @ 5, 6pm here in Sydney...
Subway + some leftover lunch for dinner...
Over S$3 for 45min internet usage @ hostel, msn-ing, blogging & checking out the POSB exchange rate
The interesting thing about using debit card is that you have 2 options upon payment:
1) merchant's bank exchange rate which will be disclosed (eg. A$1 = S$1.4)
2) my bank's exchange rate (POSB) which they/you won't know unless you check it out online
I tried both options in 2 separate payments & it turned out to be less than $0.40 different for a A$70 transaction each.
Doing laundry while having some tea...
In-room steam bath...
Who did it??
That's S$13.30 for a "cheap" ticket
