Sydney is pretty fun so far.
Yesterday, my mom's friend Carmen met us and we went out for dinner at some amazing Japanese restaurant.
It had a touch screen menu. Touch screen.
The food was absolutely delicious. Next week Carmen's taking us to the Blue Mountains or something, and we're going to eat at Pancakes on the Rocks.
We did try going there yesterday, but the line was too long. Sad. I checked out the menu though.
Devil's Delight is Carmen's favorite. It looks delicious.
Chocolate pancakes with chocolate ice cream and chocolate syrup and strawberries. To die for, it said.
Anyway. Today, we went to a cafe near Cronulla Beach. Their eggs benedict is awesome. :)
Now my dad's friend and her family are over. The kids are 9, 6, and 3 and a half. Boring, really.
Well, that's my last 2 days. Don't know what to do.
So. Bored. Arghh.

Sydney's in Sydney!!: Part III
Finally, I'm making another post. Hehe. Haven't had time since Tuesday because we've been walking all over town.
Yesterday, I went to my opera house with my parents.
The Sydney Opera House.
It was amazing. We took a tour and got pictures with the green screen and everything... But the guide was so, so boring. Monotone the whole time.
At least we learned some stuff. The history of the buildings and everything.
Today, my parents and I visited the University of Sydney, which was very boring, considering they don't have a gift shop. We went to the economics and business building and Dad toured around it while Mom and I sat on the steps being very bored. Then we caught a taxi to the Sydney Fish Market, where we bought sashimi, calamari, fish and chips for me, canteloupe, and oysters for lunch. The oysters were the BEST! We ate outside... then it started pouring.
I hate Sydney weather. It's even crazier than Seattle weather.
But anyway, we ended up buying 2 mud crabs, a super large red fish, and half a watermelon.
After the market, Dylan, Tyler, Dad, and I went to the cinema to watch Shrek Forever After.
Great movie. Highly recommended. :)
Anyway, Mom just finished cooking the seafood. The boys and I already had mac n' cheese. I was waiting for the fish and crabs.
I should go and eat now. Bye! (for now, anyway.)

Sydney's in Sydney!!: Part II
I'm sitting on a blanket on a chair right now, with my feet up on the chair while I'm clacking away at this mini keyboard.
I have nothing else to do.
So for now, I'm making a blog.
Can you tell I'm bored?
Well, I ate a lot today. Maybe too much. 3 bowls of cereal, a slice of toast with butter, 2 mini boxes of more cereal, a bag of chips, several orange slices, and a few mini broad beans. Don't know what they are? Google it.
Yeah, I think I ate too much today.
I've checked Facebook multiple times throughout the day, hoping Michelle or Olivia would come online.
They didn't.
Then I tried playing a little Poptropica, which failed, because this computer is so damn slow I can hardly get anything to work properly. The game lagged a whole lot. It also takes forever to open Internet Explorer or go to a new link. I could make myself some Ramen while waiting for the Internet to load if I wanted.
Why exactly am I bored?
All the adults, including my parents, excluding my nearly-deaf grandma, have gone to some far far away vineyard to check out the wines and whatnot. They left at 6 I think.
If they hadn't gone, I probably wouldn't be making this post right now. I would probably be outside somewhere doing something.
My feet are freezing. It's always cold in this house. I think they keep the windows open slightly.
My little cousin Eric is playing the Wii right now. He plays video games too much.
He has an Xbox too.
I've finished Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Book number 4. I still need books 5 and 7.
So far, I am not reading Harry Potter. Not until I can read book number 5.
I have a habit of reading a series in order, unlike my dad.
He wouldn't care less what order he read the books in. At the moment, he has Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, I believe.
He's reading Harry Potter too, now that I've started.
I am in great need of something to do. Help?

Sydney's in Sydney!!: Part I
I'm in Australia!!!
It's actually not too exciting.
The weather's been wacky. We went to downtown Sydney today (Yesterday I just fell asleep over my book for a couple hours and then we went out to dinner and had lobster for $40 and it wasn't even that good. My mom makes it better.) and went to the QVB, or Queen Victoria Building. The big clocks there were amazing!! I'd upload photos right now, but I'm on my mom's mini laptop (which sucks, by the way, it took me FOREVER just to open up Internet Explorer) and I don't think there's a SanDisc insert thing...
We couldn't really buy anything there. Everything was a bunch of big brand names like Coach and Vivian Chan Shaw and stuff.
HOWEVER, my dad and I got caricatures from this Chinese guy... I forgot his name. Sad.
The pictures were so cute!
My neck was super long. Heh. Makes me look like a giraffe.
After QVB, we toured around for a little, popping into souvenir shops and almost checking out the Sydney Tower... until we found out the ticket prices. Children's tickets were $14, but the normal ticket+skywalk?
$44!!!
Seriously. What the freaking crap??
So we left. Kind of depressing. I don't even get to visit my own tower.
We walked around some more and found this food market called FoodHall.
AMAZING!!
There was this juice/yogurt place where we got medium juices (they were actually pretty big, I didn't finish mine til almost an hour later when we got home) and samples of delicious frozen yogurt. Then we tried out this "Tasty Thick Large Beef Sausage" which was also very delicious :) We ended up buying 2 kg for dinner! My mom just finished cooking them I think.
We also bought fresh, warm mini cookies which turned out to be SUPER yummy.
Finally, we took a long train ride home. Sort of like a subway I guess, but not underground.
They call the restrooms the toilets here. And on this pool schedule, a slot read "Mums, Dads, and Bubs".
I thought it was funny. And adorable. Heh.
I am so seriously jetlagged. Don't feel like taking a nap though. It's almost dinner.
Must. Stay. Awake.
Arghh. Well I'm going to go now. I want to eat... Sort of. *yawns* And then maybe I'll read a little and go to sleep early. Heck, I woke up at 6 today for no reason... I'm waking up at 6 on vacation on accident, but I can hardly find it in myself to wake up willingly at 6:50 for school (I usually end up running a tad bit late on those days... or I end up forgetting something important at home).
Well. Goodbye for now.
