Postcards from Sydney

   I feel so blessed and loved this morning. While sitting in my favorite tea salon – having egg benedicts and tea at its finest, just trying to enjoy and make the most of my last few days working in this place, I couldn't avoid this mix feeling between happy, nervous, a little sad, excited, blessed, grateful and so much in love realizing in the last two months I've been through and learnt a lot.

   My favorite staffs came to my table and asked if the food was OK, I smiled and told them everything is excellent. As they left me enjoying my big breakfast, I whispered I'll be missing them so much when I'm gone. Never thought working  in a luxury industry, being a part of such a great and solid team here would teach me a lot – more than just the brands and luxurious things itself. I’m actually glad they were really open, welcome and treated me just like a family, they taught me how to love, respect, stay humble and be grateful. Each people brought different magic and inspiration, and to be honest I have never felt like this before, completely in love with them since my very first step walking into the company.

   And as much as I am really excited to pack my bags again, fly for more than 21 hours, move into a new place I've never been before, working in the biggest entertainment company with a new dream team, part of me is not ready to say goodbye to some people I really love : My team, my best friends, my family..but heyyy finally one of my biggest dreams came true, no matter how far I go, their endless love and support just the biggest reason I should do better, go further.

    Meanwhile, here's some postcards I took while I was walking to ABC Studio at Ultimo street for meeting and a little tour around the studio. The photos pretty much meant : Take pride in how far you've come and have faith in how far you can go.

    I would like to wholeheartedly thank every single person I met in Sydney  for all those good times, laughs, city tour, great night out, food, one perfect Saturday with Cinderella Man, and great stay with Bounce Hotel and YHA Railway..

    Had my last coco pops and toast for breakfast at the dining room of YHA Railway before out for a quick morning walk around Belmore park. Well, gotta admit after spending a week in Sydney and completely fell in love with the city, people, the parks, lovely neighborhood at Bondi, it's really hard to leave but pretty excited too for my next destination would be Katoomba, Blue Mountains- a perfect getaway escapade only 2 hours journey by train from Central station to Katoomba ( AUD$8.40 single trip ). You can click Sydney Trains  for more info about timetables, maps and fares. 

    Arrived in Katoomba, I simply couldn't help loving Katoomba street, the old shops, bars, cafe, even old couples walking in the sidewalks. Quiet, cold, lovely neighborhood with some unique and colorful old houses...Found myself smiling, wow...I made it here ! In my mind was this conversation I had with my best friend long time ago in a coffee shop, we were talking about our ambitions, dreams, jobs and obviously our next travel destinations, it's funny when most of our friends are busy organizing their weddings and convinced us to settle down, have kids, etc, me and Eno prefer to purchase our flight tickets and travel, to dream big, even tho we didn't know how we're gonna get jobs in Scandinavia and New York, but there will always be some ways to get there. Few auditions and interesting projects are waiting at home, but meanwhile after walking around 20 minutes along the Katoomba street, I've finally found the Echo Point as the main gate of Blue Mountains. Such a simple joy to sit there for hours,  sharing pizza and wine with my 2 guys. Back to Blue Mountains YHA ( $32 for dorm room / night ) around 5.30 pm, while most of the shops closed early, we decided to order another Dominos pizza for dinner, chill in the hostel and sleep early, recharge myself before tomorrow morning reunited again with The Browns and off for our road trip around New South Wales.
