Breaking Tradition
Filed under Uncategorized by Kerry at 8:17 pm on Dec 23 2009
It’s been brought to my attention Christmas Eve is one of the biggest drinking days in Australia. We’re spending the afternoon at the Opera Bar, which has kind of become our go-to bar. Our plans for Christmas Day include cooking up an Italian feast then going to see Avatar 3D. And what did Santa bring me this year? Mandi and I just had a used washing machine delivered (since the girl who moved out of our flat took the other one with her).
.
This year will be nothing like the past 25 Christmases I’ve had. I think it’s good Christmas is completely different here. It makes me forget I’m not back home with my family and friends and makes it easier to celebrate in such a non-traditional way. Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas/Hanukkah/Festivus!

Expect a new blog in the next few days about Sydney beaches. Being unemployed has allowed me to visit 7 different beaches already so I’ll write up my opinion on each one.

P.S. I’ve joined Twitter.

I really liked the Opera Bar; I went there when I was in Sydney in November. Another place you should visit is the Lindt Chocolate cafe in Darling Harbour area; go there and have a waffle. It is to die for; the bring you a waffle which melts in your mouth with a scoop of ice cfream on top and warm, melted lindt chocolate to pour on top.. I spent like $14 for it (similar to your $14 breakfast), but it is also worth it, just like the breakfast!!
