Aussie Trip Day 8

2nd day in Sydney! Our tour guide arrived in Sydney from Singapore at about 6 in the morning, and after dropping our stuff at his place, we were off to further explore Sydney!
Took a train to Darling Habour to visit the Rocks weekend market.

the Rock weekend market
Honestly, I felt that the weekend market was pretty boring, nothing much to see, nothing much to buy. The few items that caught my eye were all ridiculously overpriced and so I left pretty much empty handed.
Then, because we were young and full of energy, we decided to take a walk across Sydney Harbour Bridge.

And then because we were rapidly running out of stuff to do, we went over to Luna Park!
there were these stores with random games
like those in the ang moh movies where the guy takes the girl and they saggf after that
my favourite game store T_T
There were rides too, but the prices were pretty steep at $46 for unlimited rides. Also, most of the rides were nothing great compared to those I've been to in Taiwan, so we decided to give the rides a skip.
the only ride that I thought had some kick
Then it was back to Malcolm's place for a short break before we headed over to King's Cross!

Because of the number of strip clubs in the same area, competition was pretty stiff and the pimps will literally try to drag you into their joints. Discounts were given like nobody's business as well. The entrance fee to Porky's (a strip club) went from about $10 per person to $32 for the 5 of us in less than a minute (but no, despite out-voting ky 4-1, we didn't go. where's the fucking democracy?).
So we spent the rest of the night at a sports bar where we watched Malaysia lose 0-5 to a very impressive Uzbekistan (who were knocked out last night by Saudi Arabia T_T) .
back at malcolm's place. Kerk looks stoned as usual.
Football coming up tomorrow!
