I remember my first day in Sydney, I had to walk
for an hour from the city central station just to find the YHA Railway, which
actually if I was smart enough ( I am, believe me ) , the hostel is
located just next to the station, behind the Adina hotel, less than 2 minutes !
My phone was dead, and even though I didn’t sleep well at the airplane, I was
sooo wide awake, fully charged, excited to explore this place that has been on
my travel bucket list. Except the only problem after walking around the lovely
neighborhood at George street and still couldn't find the hostel, this small girl wearing colorful knitwear and boots got back
pain from the heavy backpack that actually looked much bigger than her actual size, and aaah got this important meeting at
1.30 pm at the ABC Studio at Ultimo Road that I couldn't miss. Saw this Bounce
Hotel just in front of Central Station, decided to stay there for one night (
AUD 39 / night for female dorm room ) , quick shower, dressed up nicely then
heading up to Ultimo Road. The receptionist lady from Bounce Hotel gave me a
direction how to get to the TV station, it wasn't that far so I might make it
in 10 minutes .
I made it on time to ABC Studio. Met some of
the amazing crews, make up artists, even did a short tour to the radio station,
news studio, make up room, costume department…It was like a dream came true to see how the crew created a show. The whole building and dynamic
work environment just exactly my kind of dream job, a place I wish to explore
and develop my skills, creativity, working with incredible team on set. Still
working my way for it...
The excitement of the first day in Sydney
continued to a lovely afternoon walk around Darling Harbor. Gotta love clear
blue skies, chilly winter, sipping hot coffee and people watching. Back to the Bounce Hotel, do not
miss $1 Aussie hot dogs every Thursday night at the terrace rooftop, a
sweet deal you can't miss if you're on budget, even though after that my
Argentinian gang took me to China town for another big dinner to celebrate
Lolo, Ally and Curtis new jobs in Sydney.
To be honest I'm glad to visit
Australia, knowing there's a lot of good friends in Sydney, Canberra and
Melbourne to see. If you plan to stay in the Central, I recommend you to stay with Bounce Hotel or YHA Railway ( $32 / night for dorm room ), only walk distance to the Central station and close to Darling Harbour, Opera House, and many more. Feel free to check out my previous post about Tidbinbilla
& Cockatoo Island, stay tuned for more stories and photos from Australia
