homesickness...
Despite my love for BKK, I suddenly want:
- to drink straight from the tap
- to wear next to nothing in the sunshine and feel just fine.
- to smell that wonderful harbour smell wafting up from the Quay
- to jump on the train at Wynyard at sunset and watch the houses of Dover Heights turn gold
- to eat tuna dip and baguette on Balmoral and feel the cold settle in as the sun goes down
- to dance to bad 80's pop music at the Fiddler in Rouse Hill
- to go Vinnies shopping in Penno and be served by the lovely volunteer nana's
- to eat eggs benedict in Potts Point and perve on all the strange fashion types
- to catch an old train with sticky seats and eat Kiymali pide in Auburn
- to jump on a trampoline and look over into other people's yards
I am sorry to any Internationals who have drifted past this ramble. Its even more full of colloquialisms and esoteric references than my usual posts :)
See you soon Sydney!

You forgot "Drink coffee from Campos" ;)
I'm still living off memories of the Cat Empire down at Coogee. :)
yeah and you forgot...
- trawling through bookstores in Newtown
- the view of the bridge and house from Opera Bar
- good pasta at the Italian Forum in Leichardt
- drinks at the "arry"/RSL
- $5 steaks at strawbs or wherever else
I'm sure there's more...
Damn, those were some good concerts down at the CBH, John! Doesn't seem like that long ago.
I'm seeing the Gotan Project in a few weeks - looking forward to it!
Another thing Lucy forgot is spending all her money at "Well Connected" in Glebe. ;)
yeah...you also forgot...
$5 steak at the landsdowne
and your token favourite gourmet dish, baked beans from a can ...anywehre you may be at the time.
:P
hugs
Lucy, should i be worried that i understand so much of your post...? Even though i've never been to Sydney in person, i feel as though i can picture all of the things that you describe.
Thanks so much for your supportive words on my blog and in the email. I am connecting with those positive things and reminding myself what i love about being 'Rob'. The rest should come naturally.
Big big hugs from Cairo. I hope all is going well and Alex is not causing too much mischief :) Take care and see you very soon.
