$2 steak!

When buying a drink. $2 extra for mash and gravy. This is the effect of Sydneys special drinking permit that is expensive and requires holders to have 30% of the guests eating. The size of the bars ("hotels") are humoungus with any other cities measure. So they need a lot of guests. Its interesting sideeffect. Sweden has/had similar rules making nightclubs open early and provide cheap food. This place "sharks" has many international students and other younger ppl. Now back to the steak...

Looking for a book

Found many but not the one I was looking for. There is this amazing second hand bookstore in Newtown that, well, has books. They are roughly organized by subject and then you need to browse. Its literary overflowing with literary stuff. Books in humoungus piles on the floor on top of the bookshelves exploded on the floor. Its amazing. But it isn't alphabetical. Happy browsing.

Fresh and hot

Sydney now has 39C temperature. Maybe hot and stale? Not yet stale. But it is hot. It is windy at the same time. Interesting warm breeze. The picture is from a hostel in Berlin and shows an automatic hot dog dispensing machine. Didn't try it. Even if its German XXL.

I've been under the weather for a week.

Some stomach issue and some feever. Better now. But when is one sick (0) and well (1)? Maybe Germans have it all thought out in this binary elevator. Will. Will not. Is is not.

Back in Sydney

This is a picture from a subway station (U-bahn) in Berlin. Most of them are really old but this one looks like its from the 70ees. Yes. I'm being jetlagged. No telling what I'm doing.

Wedding in Germany

I had the fortune to be invited to my friends Thomas and Maureens wedding in Regensburg. They play games. It was nice. Regensburg has some to offer. I found that too. Now I'm in München. And I'm freezing my ass off. Funny. But its life. At least for ppl here. Summers are nice. But it makes me appreciate Australia. I mean; wqhy freeze if there is a choice. What's nice is the Wienerschnitzel and Bratkartoffeln.
