Lots of people carrying flowers around the city today.
Another not so exciting day in Sydney. Got up, putzed around on the computer, then headed to Paddy’s Market to buy a small backpack. Wanted something for about $15 to throw things like my shoes in, and stuff I shouldn’t be carrying at all, like my hoodie – which I forgot to leave in Canada. Ended up getting a probably-too-big bag, but at least there’s room for growth. I have definitely been the lightest packer I’ve seen on the trip thus far – which is probably a good thing.
Headed back to the bookstore to read some books on southeast asia, as I had planned to have one purchased for me in Canada, since books are so pricey here. Talked to Lee’s girlfriend, Ella, when I got back to the house and she said I can get a book in southeast asia for $3, so there’s no point getting one now. Works for me.
Planned to see a movie in the evening, but in the end I couldn’t be bothered to leave the house. Stayed in, did some reading, and that sort of thing, and went to bed fairly early once again. Think I am back on schedule, sleep wise – although on Saturday I leave for New Zealand, where I’ll be introduced to yet another time zone.
