Bondi, Tamarama, Bronte!






I'm back @ Harbord central right now with Seth and the boys, It's been an interesting couple of days staying in Bondi junction. I've been staying with Tim Daun and his better half coral lee and there 2 roommates. We went out a couple of times and had a blast, This seems to be the place where your average young traveler will end up. The main beach Bondi would remind you of Venice beach, with big concrete boardwalks tagged with graffiti, there is also a mini skate park which looks pretty killer. Bondi is by far the most similar to grand beach with a little garbage here and there, it still brings the masses I will have pic's of the beach on a later date.
Bronti and Tamarama are right beside Bondi nestled in there self contained coves, I do have pic's of these beaches don't let there size fool you, they can still go off. Tim and Coral lee live about a 10 min walk from all of these. I have had the opportunity to listen in on some of his business calls and although he will deny, I can tell you in these parts " he is sort of a big deal" in the pharmaceutical world. Also if your looking for a pharmacy, you won't find one but what you will find is the chemist's. Some pretty interesting things have happend in the past couple of days, new developments bring new things,,, U2 is creeping up,,, and Fiji might be sooner than you think!!!

Hawk lake Adventures!!

Once upon a time in a far off land there was a boy named Kazushka "the hot chocolate guru" so i've heard in hawk lake, shit himself because of a bat at Timmy d's cabin. Comming in at a strong 5 1" could he dominate those bats, only T Fulchur knows. Whatever dave you still shit yourself because of bats, stubbed your toe and cried like a baby! Your such a pussy kazoo!!!

Bondi In 2 Days

My eyes are yellow from getting pummeld by the salt water! I originally thought that if you want to bail off the wave dive infront of it to get underneath it when your riding, the main problem in some cases waves are created from a sandbank so it's not that deep 5 or 6 feet, get hammered by the wave or potentially risk diving into the sandbank, YOU CHOOSE!

Some more pic's







Hello all, went into to Manly today which is about a 15 minute walk from Harbord seem the beach is getting more busy since summer is on it's way. For those of you who will be traveling in the future to Oz especially if your on a work holiday visa which grants you one year access to the land, there are 2 main banks in Australia which are all over the country, very important if your traveling. They are "common wealth" and "westpack" From the people I talked to Westpack is the one to go with because any type of adjustments is always $5. I launched my bank account and filed my tax number online which I will need for working, If you do not have a tax file number your future employer can tax you up to 45%. Also if your planning getting around Australia there's a few discount travel stores, the flights work out to be the same price as taking a bus, usually these bookings are non refundable. Now to the pic's, Here is Freashwater beach this is about a 20 sec walk from the house I'm staying at, manly beach is on the other side of the hill the next pic is manly beach which is not as busy as it's going to get ohhh and all the beaches are pretty much topless by the way. Also we stopped in to see the boys @ balmoral surf shop where Goldie pulled a Jennings and conned me into buying a pair of boardies, the shorts are sick though, I'm going to need them when I surf 8ft pipe. Utah out!
p.s If you click the picture it should make them bigger unless your computer is dog shit!

Surf update!






Went out to surf freashwater bay today, I should be heading to bells soon to try and catch the 50 year storm, Seth is being a big cunt and won't let me go becuase I will charge it to hard. Today was my best day yet, finalely got the hang of duck diving, and 2 days in a row I paddled past the break which is insane by itself, although once I get out I rest behind the break becuase at that point I can't feel my arms. I still have not got close to standing on a wave yet, I'm trying to get my bearings in ocean knowledge, knowing high tide, low tide, where the rip is.

Last night goldie Seth and I went to a Thai restaurant, apparently most of the restaurants in OZ are byo which mean you bring your own beer or wine, there is a 1.00 corkage charge per person. Everyone works tomorrow so we might be going out @ 7:30 for a morning surf. But after lunch I should be heading out on my own. Here's some more pic's. Seth is now know as "AC" aka "big cunt, everyone's calling me Johnny Utah becuase I really charge it. "point break"

Night out in Manly!






We grabbed a crate of toohey beer "seth's choice" which I was later informed by this Aussie that it's possibly the worst beer to drink here. Equivelant to lets say our pilsner old country brew!, Luke, Seth and I went to the warf bar first located we'll right on the warf. A nice cocktail lounge is what it would remind me of, for the first night out i got a taste for the fashion, The girls seem to be into these tight black eqestrian pants accompanied with some black boots, dude's which by the way on average are the same if not bigger than me. The warf seems a touch up tight, still a sweet time, on average you can expect to pay between 6 to 7 dollars for a drink. We went to some other clubs after that 4 in total all within walking distance of each other, the stayn was one of them. To tell you the truth I was super loaded so I can't remember the other names. Here's some pics of that night,The guy and girls is luke whose one of the roomates also known as Manchester and courtney, For those of you who know Seth he picked a hockey fight with one of his mates and by the pick you can tell he's clearly winning, Thats getting jerseyed. I'm probably taking a trip to Bondi beach on thurs to stay with Tin Daun for a night or 2, which is about an hour from here. The weather is still pretty cold, it should start getting nice on tue so I can surf again, ohh ya I tried it the waves were huge, I couldn't even get past them, and I almost died, I can't duck dive and cannot paddle very far, Surfing is one of the hardest but most fun things to do. Once I learn to duck dive I should be able to get to the lineup where I can at least attempt suicide, I've talked to much and said to little, bye for now

Finaly pics from Singapore!




Landed in Sydney 6:55pm last night





For the time being it's pretty cold right now I'm wearing a hoodie and it's still a little chilly, there's a low pressure system moving in and it will be hanging around for a couple of days. THE SURF OUTSIDE THEIR HOUSE IS INSANE RIGHT NOW, it's about 6 to 8 feet which looks impressive from the house 200 yards away. When I landed in Sydney I took the train from terminal one to terminal 2 where Seth picked me up, He lives in an older house located in Harbord which is a small suburb north of downtown, 1 beaches away from manly beach with 4 other roommates. Whats extremely funny is that there is 4 storey apartments right behind and beside which are brand new, and right in front of the is this rickety old house, the location of the house couldn't be any better. Sadly enough I later found out it's being destroyed in a year for more apartments. After reminiscing about Rody, Shritty, Rosteck, Ramsey and cj getting gased in a park by sistler running around with his pants down trying to flip text books to the kids, I went to snap some pics of the surf.

Last Night In Singapore!

To tell you the truth I did j-walk once or twice, following the locals is sure to get you a beating. yesturday took a cruise into the city "downtown" pretty intense, we'll post pics in Sydney. Again I have to say HOLY SHIT! is it nice here, no homless people, beggers, no mocho bullshit, just people chilling out. The first 2 days the MRT system intimidated me so I didn't bother but talked to the cabbie on the way there and he told me to man up!. Downtown is crazy in itself but the you have underground shopping terminals that connect everywhere, you j-walk onto a boulevard and then wonder how somone would get off, low and behold there is some secret passage way somwhere,there are now dead ends. I took the MRT from downtown to my suburb resort, You can be outside the city and get right downtown in under 20 min and will cost you less than $2 cad. China town,,,, there's alot of chinese. I leave at 9:30 tommorow so I moved from pasir ris to changi village hotel, difference of $50 cad a night to $150 cad a night, on the other hand a just checked in the dude carried my bag thank god because it's heavier than shit, and a have my own komoto and slipper's which are sweet. Explaining this place is going to be difficult, a must see forsure, I leave you with this Asia at some point will be able to do whatever they want globaly, Light years ahead of North America, I could not imagine Japan or China.

Singapore In a nut shell

landed in Singapore 12:00am driving to the river to grab a bite to eat with new friends, you could almost believe you are driving through to jungle, one of the cleanest places on earth shockingly clean, sidewalks, streets immaculate, perfectly poured, the speed of the city very relaxed pace which is nice. So nice here you almost think or in a video game designed to look like a perfect city before all hell brakes loose, but it never does. Chewing gum in illegal, the government used to spend 3 million cleaning up gum so they banned it, although halls and cough candy is allowed. The ethnic make up of this city is as fallows 30% chinnese, 20% indian 20% malay, and the rest is who ever. Jay walking is a bad idea, i'm still trying to see if anyone has the balls apparently you only get beaten down with a slapjack, Anthony would not be phased becuase he can take a serious beating from brighams HAMMER!, I'll talk to you from SYDNEY, where Seth is pumping them in.
