Yes, I'm in Sydney. :3
Anyone who'd been in both Sydney and Canberra will totally understand what I'm saying in my post title. :3
In one day I'd just used up approx. $290 AUSD.
That is just sad.
And it took me only 5 hours.
And now I'm already tired from all that walking.
I also just had a very memorable first - that proved to me that my otaku soul is still alive and burnin'~ :3
I ate my first curry-pan!!!! God damn it, it was delicious. I am so bringing some back with me... xD
And there's also an-pan/s and green tea flavoured cake...
This is what you'd call a city life!!!
The place we're staying at is awesome, too. It's approx. 100 metres away from Chinatown (where all the awesome stuff are :P), and right next to the Sydney Central Station (the train station, and there's a Bus station across the street as well).
And just now I checked my email and my Japanese teacher just sent me a really awesome link: http://anime-manga.jp/index_english.html. For all of us who are learning Japanese and loves anime and manga, check it out! It looks so awesome! 8D
...you must have realised it by now. I'm out of my State of Depression, which is good. Because it would just be sad if I'm depressed on the Sydney trip. :/
Okay, so we went to Paddy's Market.
After a while I separated with my other companions because they were going to buy cases for their i-things, while I don't have an i-thing, and so it was a waste of my time to stand around waiting for them.
I needed a new bag, so I went off. I went back to this store I'd saw earlier. The store had this... gothic-lolita sort of theme. Maybe not the "lolita" bit, but it was certainly gothic.
I asked for a look at one of them. I looked at it, then I walked off, thinking that I should look around first.
I could only walk around for a little bit because Paddy's Market is too damn big to go explore. Plus, that store was pretty unique, with its... gothic theme. (I think 90% of all things there were black).
I asked to look at another, and I stood there deciding for a while. Then I asked to look at another, and continued thinking.
Then suddenly someone else walked into the store and said, IN THAI, "How's it going? Selling well?"
And I was like, "Ow." < This does not mean I was hurt or in pain in any way. It's a Thai sound word (like "um", "oh", "eh", etc.) and equals to a "realisation" moment. So I realised something... hopes that made sense. ==
The two turned around slightly, and so I said, in Thai, "...so you're Thai. And we spent all that time talking in English."
It was quite amusing, I thought she was Chinese...! O.o
Hah, but lucky me, because once she realised that I was Thai she gave me a discount~! :D
Ah, Sydney~
However I am feeling quite irritated at the moment since we're planning on going to dinner, and one of my friends say that I MUST change my clothes.
Let me tell you that I despise dresses despite being a girl. And I despise make-up. And I despise dressing-up. And I also despise anything too girly... cute is alright though, I just don't... don't like adult-womenly stuffies... I don't look good in them anyway. =.,=
...You could almost call me a tomboy, actually. :P
Well, Sydney feels like the capital because Canberra was pretty much built just to appease all the other cities. All of the other capital cities of each state wanted to be the capital of Australia - so they had to make a new state and a new city, just for that purpose. How ridiculous. But, being the capital city does provide some advantages concerning tourism and economy etc.
ReplyDeleteWhat is curry-pan? Sounds yummy anyhow :3
I love that site! I went on it ages ago~ I sent the link to Geddes-sensei. Maybe she gave it to your teacher?? :P
So, you bought a lolita bag....ohohoho~ I've got a cool lolita/gothic fashion bible here, that you should have a peek at.. :3
That's cool that they were Thai! :)
Of course you should change your clothes when you go out. It's not a matter of being girly or feminine - it's a matter of being neat, appropriate, and presentable. I'm not saying that you looked bad before (I don't even know what you were wearing!)- but when you go to different places there is a sort of dress code. ie. I wouldn't turn up to work in my lazing around at home clothes. Same deal here.
Also, you don't have to wear dresses just to go out in. You can whatever you want, as long as it's neat and presentable.....
Looking nice is not all about being girly and wearing dresses. *sigh*
...
Delete(My silent reaction: da hell?)
You can't tell what curry-pan is by its name? O.o
*sigh* ...Ruby...
Possibly. :P
Must be because my classmates and I kept on conversing about anime and manga during class (usually during the speaking part of the lesson, because then it's possible to multi-task)...
Ugh, NO, it's not a lolita bag... it's just... the design is slightly creepy... so it's slightly gothic.
HAH, like hell I was wearing something unpresentable and unneat. My clothes were totally fine. They talked me into wearing a dress and putting on foundation and curling my hair - which I ended up doing, btw. :P
...However I'm certain I won't ever do it again, if possible.
YOU'RE NOT UNDERSTANDING THE SITUATION CORRECTLY, but that's most probably because of my hideous writing.
Oh. I see. Well you should of said that.
DeleteWas the restaurant you went to really fancy?
I don't think they should of made you wear a dress and curl your hair, and put make-up on though. That was unreasonable of them...
I can't wait to see the bag though~ :)
...what was the "i see" comment to?
