A new life, in Aus!

Ok it's Sunday now. I arrived in Sydney in the morning on Saturday, but was too busy. Most importantly it was only just now that my brother set up the internet for this com.
Anyway, starting from the plane journey. It was an overnight flight and while everyone was sleeping, I couldn't sleep! Maybe I did for about twenty minutes, but other than that I was fully awake all the while. They showed "After the Sunset" and "Finding Neverland" (hey , Ping) on the plane. I got to watch them until they stopped playing anything on the screen from about 2.00am to 5.00am....
When I got to the house here, got to admit that I kinda like it alot. It's a small apartment, but more than enough for two occupants. The place's still empty. We went to IKEA to buy the furnitures which included things like Dining table, bed, lamp and pillows etc. They are supposed to be arriving anytime soon. But gosh, the delivery fee was damn expensive! $70...!
Talk about the location of my place. It's got a great view! The downside of the place is probably that it's facing the main street, so any unwanted noises can be heard quite clearly. Also, my brother told me that the area is particularly prone to robbery coz many foreign students live around here. Anyway, other than those things there's no other drawback to the place at the moment! The area is full of small shops providing most of the things I want. Stationery stores, photocopying services, food, movie rentals etc. It's going to be pretty! Also, 5 minutes walk to the left of my place will bring me to my school! Hahaha, just imagine how late I can wake up in the morning!
Oh, I'm learning more and more facts about this place too. One thing I can't stand about the bus service is that, everytime a passenger boards, the fare is paid to the driver who'll issue a recipt and change (if needed). So it's kinda like a Supermarket scenario, where you buy things and have to wait for them to print the recipt. Haha, there's supposed to be a bus card or something, but I just don't see many people using it.
Here's something more interesting. Last night at about 2.00am my brother, his friend(GF??), and I went to a convernience store in gas station opposite my house. The place was open though it didn't let any customer in. Instead it operated on a drive-thru system whereby you just stand outside and order to the person INSIDE, all the while separated by a glass panel with one small slot to place your money. The shpkeeper will then deliver your items by putting it in a metal box which can be opened by both the people inside and outside the shop. Strange.... But my brother said it was safety precaution, in case of robbery and stuff.
Seems like there are still so many things to be learnt! But so far things seem well...!!! ^______^
