At last there was the day where my sister arrived in Sydney to visit me.
Although we planed it for about half a year that day came as kind of a surprise for me. I was so preoccupied with other stuff (yes, I have to admit that this other stuff consisted most of all of partying, but anyway...there was a bit of uni stuff too... ) that I completely forgot about it.
Well, anyway, I was lucky enough to have a look at my calendar the day she took her flight. I send her an email with my last instructions in the faint hope that she would read it before she left. I was lucky though! She did read it, although it was in Bankok and so she wasn't able to bring any "Brausepulver" from back home. So again no Vodka-Ahoi for me...*sniff*
On Wednesday the 4th of April at 6:05 am, two days after her departure from Berlin, my sister arrived at Sydney Airport. After only five hours of sleep (I went to the movies with Patchi and Zjenja the night before) I was even more tired than she was and so my joy over her arrival wasn't that obvious. But never the less I was happy to have her here!
She arrived without the faintest hint of a jetlag! That is so unfair! I felt so wrecked up the first days after my arrival! But Sonny? Not the even a bit! So not fair!
Anyway, after we brought her stuff home and went grocery shopping we met Eva at Gloria Jean's where I had my first coffee of the day which I desperately needed after I figured that 5AUD for a simple coffee at the airport was way too expensive!
After my first shot of caffeine that day I was finally awake and we could go shopping in Chinatown. I'm not going to tell you how much we spend, I just say that this was probably the most expensive week here in Sydney. *g* But it was worth it!
Unfortunately I had classes this day and so I had to leave my sister alone at uni. I just showed her the computers, gave her a little money to spend (I felt a little like a mother, since I paid in Chinatown and now I was actually giving her money to buy some candy...*G*) and left her in the food court.
After I finished class we went for the ultimate touristy tour. We visited Darling Harbour,
took some obligatory touri pics...
Gosh I love Sydney!!!! It's such a beautiful city!!!!
...and saw Sonny's first kangaroos!
Well, she didn't really buy it, but the guys tried really hard... *g*
Although Sonny should have been the one who falls asleep in front of her computer she didn't show any signs of being tired. In the contrary! She was still wide awake and I was the one who's eyes developed the urge to close every two minutes for a little nap in front of my screen...*g*
But we finally went to bed and I could get the sleep I so desperately needed!
2nd day:
The next morning I left my sister with Eva (I could have chosen a worse baby sitter -hehe!) to do a trial out at Hannah's pies and to go to my Spanish class. In between the trial out and my class I hurried home where Sonny and Eva were waiting with lunch. We enjoyed our salad with calamari and planed the rest of the day. Unfortunately I just had an hour left before Spanish began so I had to hurry back to uni. That way I wasn't even able to help to clean the dishes...what a pity! *g*
Sonny and Eva went to Darling Harbour to have a look at the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge by daylight.
After that we met again at Central and Eva and me introduced Sonny to our most favourite friend:
the ♥ Taro Milktea with Pearls ♥!!!
Sonny wasn't really as excited about it as Eva and I had hoped but at least I had an excuse to have one that day...*g*
We went home and relaxed a little. Since it was Thursday the night belonged to Nude and Side Bar. But before we headed to meet all the others we went to the student's Residence Gumal where René had invited us to dinner to celebrate his girlfriends arrival in Sydney.
I know it doesn't look like that, but it was soooo delicious!!!! MMMMHHHH!!!!
that's the good thing when your invited....
...you just have to wait, can just relax on the sofa and eat some chips ...
...while the others are working! *g*
We finished our delicious dinner and our glasses of Bailey's (in which there is sooo much more alcohol than in German Bailey's that I was drunk the second I smelled it!) and headed off to Nude Bar to meet Eva and all the others.
Sonny and me arriving in Nude Bar
Koldo (sorry Jü, but I just have to say it again! Gosh! Those eyes!!!!), Aarti and me in Nude Bar
Traditionally we left Nude Bar... well it was more that we got kicked out (because they closed not because we misbehaved!!! at least not more than normally...*g*), but who cares?*g*... to go to Side Bar where the party went on.
Of cause we didn't make it directly to Side Bar because part of the tradition is to stand in the street in front of the Nude Bar and pretend to decide what to do next! I guess we just do that to piss of the security! *g*
Jü, Pachi, Cjenja and his girlfriend pretending...I mean, deciding where to go!
(Well, I chose a bad example since they really went somewhere else than to Side Bar...*g*)
So we finally arrived at Side Bar and I don't regret our decision since we had a hell lot of fun!!!
I love this pic *g*:
my sis and me
We partied like it was 1999! (Haha!!!)
3rd day:
That's why the third day began very very quietly. We slept way too long! We actually had planed to go to the Botanical Garden but we thought better of it especially since the weather wasn't that fine. We staid home until about 5pm and left then to meet Eva at Paddy's market. So we did what we do the best: SHOPPING!!!! *g*
Again I won't tell you how much we spend but let me put it like that this time if they were about to close down because they didn't have any money left we saved them for a loooong time!!! *g*
After hours of shopping we returned home. Sonny took a nap and I tried to concentrate not to bang my head on my desk if I had fallen asleep...
At 9pm we went for Sarah's birthday party where a big bucket of sangría was waiting for us!
And that was the place where I could be found for the rest of the night, in the kitchen next to the sangría! *G*
The three ambassadors of the TU Berlin preparing to do their job... representing how we use to party in Berlin! hehe
At last it was time for the birthday girl... well actually we had to "pre-celebrate" since the security shut the party down before midnight.
So Sarah turned 23 a little early than previously planned. *g* But she did that with a lot of dignity and most of all with a lot of cake!!!
After a lot of cake we set off to the next party... or at least that was the plan. We went to the city after the bar we wanted to enter was too crowded. There we staid for about two senconds in a casino.
On the way to get there Sonny and I learned a little Spanish from Koldo, Manu and Dani.
Sonny learned the sentence: "Hola tío bueno, vamos a casa!" which was inspired by the German sentence Koldo knows:" Komm nach Hause, Kinder machen!" (That is sooo cute!)
Me in the contrary learned a sentence I don't even know the real meaning of since they refused to translate it. And so I probably said something pretty dirty to Oriol...*g*
my sister, our teacher *g* and me
My sister and me were pretty tired and so we didn't join the rest of the group when they went to the Abercrombie Hotel.
4th day
Again we slept until noon. After two nights of party we were pretty exhausted and so we decided to take it slow and went to shopping centre at Bondi Junction where I used my credit card for the last time in my life! It will probably be cut in half the next time I use it anyway...*sniff*
In the evening I had to work. My sister visited me at the Loewenbraeu. You may think: " Oh, that is so nice! Her sister visits her at work!" but I'm convinced she just did that to make fun of me and mock me with pics she took that day! *g*
She met some Australians (now she knows more real Australians than I do! Well, I have to admit that this isn't a very hard thing to do...) and went to another bar. After I finished work we went home and had another quite evening which I despratly needed.
5th day
On Sunday I had to work for three hours after which I met Sonny at Bondi where we had a wrap and mashed potatoes.
Still stonkered we went home.
I feel a little guilty because of that since I think that Sonny didn't come here to just sit at home...
6th day
On her last day Sonny and I decided to go to the Taronga Zoo.
But first we thought that we deserved something special and so we went to have a pedicure in the morning! *g*
Following that we made our way to the Taronga Zoo via ferry. This was the best time to take some more pics of the city.
again: I LOVE Sydney!!!
We arrived at the zoo and went directly to the wallabies and to the other Australian animals. After taking about a million pictures we went to see the giraffes. On our way there we were just in time for the feeding of the penguins!!! Gosh, they are sooo cute!!!!! (I don't want to annoy you with more pics of cute little penguins...but they were just so adorable!)
Since our memory cards were nearly full (haha, just kidding! But we took an awfully lot of pictures!) we hit the road back to Darling Harbour where we met Eva and Vanessa for the last real Aussie experience. No, sorry about that but I'm not talking about surfing!!!
I'm talking about Emu and Crocodile pizza! *g*
Sonny wanted revenge for the pic in with her and the emu that just hid his head when I pressed the trigger of the cam back in the zoo and so she descided to have its mother for dinner. *g*
Eva in the contrary simply took the crocodile pizza because crocodiles are generally not very popular...(haha)
Vanessa and me sticked to the vegetarian part of the menu. I ordered a sweet potato salad. That way I didn't have to feel guilty of eating someone's relatives...*g*
soooo delicious!
7th day
Well actually you can't really call it a day since Sonny had to leave at 5am. We got up at 4am and Sonny packed the rest of her stuff (excluding a pair of white shoes *g*) and I called a taxi.
I helped her carrying her bag down to the street, sat her in the cap and saw her leaving for the airport.
I was pretty sad about that. There was so much more I wanted to do with her and that I wanted to show her... and most of all: I already missed her.
An Sonny: Hab dich lieb und vermisse dich ganz, ganz doll!!!!
