The best way to celebrate a new apartment is with drinks at Opera Bar

We got the apartment in Rushcutters Bay and we are moving in this week. The happy couple (Lars and Cecilie) therefore celebrated this Saturday with a pub dinner at Harbor Bridge View Hotel in The Rocks, followed by drinks at the Opera Bar down by Sydney Opera House. It was a lovely and warm night and it was our first time down to the Opera House since we arrived. It is at the moment you see the Opera House and the Harbor Bridge lit up at night, surrounded by tourist and party people, you realize that you are in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. After dinner we strolled down to Circular Key and bought our selves a double scoop ice cream to cool down. The evening ended with drinks at the Opera bar where a jazz band played groovy beats and the party factor was high ( www.operabar.com.au ).

Now, back to the new apartment. It is not furnished so we have to buy some stuff. The good news is that Lars meet this nice Australian guy at university who new another guy who was selling a bed and a fridge for a very good price. So now we have a bed and a fridge. We also bought a new sofa, two chairs and a table for 1500 NOK and a 80 piece kitchen starter set for 500 NOK, both at K-mart. Its a good start.

The first week of university passed quickly for Lars and he has now just started his second week of lectures. On Mondays he has a subject called International security, on Tuesdays he has Strategy and Security in the Asia Pacific and on Wednesdays its Decease and Security. Thursdays and Fridays are lecture free and he has time for studying and reading articles for the next lecture. The first semester he will also complete a subject called Business and Security in an intensive course over a few weeks. The first essay is due already in the end of march so there is really no time to relax, and we don't really see each other much during the week. We do however try to make time for dinner together after his lectures and we often meet in Newtown for a good and cheap Thai-meal. 


There is also some new job-hunting news. I have a job-meeting with a company in the city on wednesday and I have also applied for five other jobs. I hope something will land in the near future and will keep you posted. Other then that we hooked up with my old room mate Kenneth for dinner and a drink yesterday after a long nice Sunday at Bondi Beach. Summer is still going strong in Sydney.

    Så hyggelig at Vossa gjengen er så flinke til å komentere bloggen vår. Det setter vi pris på, og det er gøy at vi vet at dere følger med. Møblene er jo egentlig utemøbler men det spiller ingen rolle så lenge de er så billige og ser så fine ut. Vi skal på IKEA en dag også for å kjøpe ett teppe det kan stå på. Håper alt står bra til med dere på Voss og i Sandane. Lars er veldig flink til å studere, ser han knappt. Håpe det ordner seg med jobb for meg snart også. Så dere videoen vår? Hvis dere klikker på der det står Sydney Action part one så kommer den opp.

    Stoor klem fra Cecilie
