Our time in Sydney is to be intentionally truncated. Having conferred with many people about our travel plans, most every Aussie that we spoke with told us that our time in Australia would be much better budgeted in places other than Sydney. Basically, we've boiled down our visit here to a photo-op at the Opera House and a few nights out on the town.
Tonight we met a group of fellow couch surfers for a waffle party. Being extremely fiscally conscious, Matt and I decided that this was by far our best option for cheap food and even cheaper drinks. The host of our party lives in the subdivision of Paddington, which is the fashion hub of Sydney. Being driven to our party, we passed numerous fashion boutiques on the upscale Oxford Street.
Couch Surfing may have made the world as small as it can possibly get, but to make it even smaller, Matt had arranged to have his former bosses granddaughter from San Antonio come meet us for the waffle shakedown. Americans in this part of the world aren't too common, so it was nice to have a conversation about chalupas and Mexican restaurants at a waffle party in Sydney...
...Opera House tomorrow...
