Wednesday and Thursday were pretty light days overall. I spent most of Wednesday finishing up all the work I needed to and Thursday I had dinner with Brittany's host family at a Chinese Restaurant which was very good. On Friday, we spent most of the day in the town of Hornsby just walking around the shopping centre (mall) and enjoying the nice weather.

The highlight of the past few days though was the first night out in Sydney on Friday. Brittany and I took a train from Hornsby where I'm staying into the center of Sydney. The train was only about 45 minutes so we got into the city a little before 11. From the train station it was about a 5-10 minute walk to Darling Harbour. There are tons of bars and night clubs around Darling Harbour and it's really a pretty awesome place to go out. We started at one bar that looked promising but after a $10 cover and a small dance floor littered with 35+ we knew it wasn't the right place to spend the night.

So we moved along and found another place called Pontoon, which looked very big and lively so we waited on line, and then paid a $25 cover!! It was a pretty cool bar though, with half inside and half outside and two different DJs. We did feel a little out of place though as the bar had to be at least 80-85% Asian. Nonetheless it was a very fun and successful first night out in Sydney. We took a bus back home which was surprisingly easy to navigate and everyone was well behaved and calm which was surprising for a bus at 2:30-3 in the morning.
