Sydney Life

G'day!

Last week we went out several times to check out downtown Sydney since it was the last free week I had before exams kicked in. On Wednesday night I went and hung out with some Germans here studying abroad. They're in my group for one of my finance classes so they invited me out for a birthday.
These are the Germans: Shahram and Thomas...they like beer. We went to the Coogee Beach Palace and then the Coogee Bay Hotel to listen to a band.
We went to Star City Casino on Thursday night. This is Darling Harbor with the casino in the background, a very touristy area. I split one hand of blackjack with Marty and ended up winning 9 hands in row. We came out with $125 each but I spent it all already on groceries and rent!
Friday night we went out to several clubs in downtown Sydney. They were called....Star Bar and Tank? Not sure, but here's us at a pub called 3 Monkeys.
Here's the band in the background at 3 Monkeys.
Saturday night we went to watch a rugby game. Here's the opposing team (the Sharks) who ended up beating the home team (Sydney Roosters).
This is the container of my first Cuban cigar, a Romeo y Julieta. Didn't have the actual cigar since I smoked it all, but it was good and spicy...

It is now time for exams to kick in before mid session break :(

Cheers!
Jesse
