New Year and seedy Kings Cross











Well the job hunt is not going well, got two interviews tomorrow and left applications everywhere I could find, from tomorrow I could be anything from a call centre operator to a coffee house barista or maybe a data entry techician I'm flying high mamma although sadly, and most likely, it'll be a couple of days yet before I get the kind of job that will want me to end it all and by the time I leave Sydney I will have done well to have covered the cost of my visa.
On a brighter note...
New Year's was amazing. We had a spot on the north side of the Harbour, spitting distance from the Harbour Bridge and directly opposite the Opera House. I'm quite cynical about fireworks but these were very good and the whole rip-roaring 24 hours was a big success. When I came to Sydney I was a little worried I'd be on my own so it was great to be in the middle of a cracking atmosphere, etc.
I'm now in Kings Cross, trying to find work (as previously mentioned) it is ridiculously sleazy, as is the hostel, and there's only so much hedonism a good Christian (slighly lapsed, maybe now greatly lapsed) boy can take.
Hope you had a good new year, there will be pics added to this, the internet cafe doesn't accept my card reader but the one in the hostel does...
