Now I can say I'm back in Sydney!
not without surprises ..
fact that fat Peter (the boss of the hostel) has seen fit to cancel our reservation in the room No. 15 (the one where I've lived the first 2 ½ months and I was fond, as between the darkened things, I also defrosted the fridge!:-D) Barbara because she had forgotten to leave credit card details ..
But I say: besides the fact that Barbara works for you and had also left a message to call if there were problems, apart from that you come to ask me a credit card that you have worked for 2 months??
Are you crazy or you're just an American dick?? (Since he is of American origin)
However, not all silver lining because we ended up No. 3 in the room that was my first room and where, among other things, there is also the mythical Thibault: always only one room .. now the bed has its own form!
In these early days in Sydney we met a lot of new people including the girls in the Veneto region who have seen fit to take a vacation from work in Australia in November planning to meet with nice weather but collided with one of the rainiest week (in Sydney) over the last 30 years .. Even in Queensland there was a storm that caused damage to houses and roads!
Then Alexander and Alexandra, he Abruzzo, she of Rome, which split after working in Perth for more than seven months, they left for their Australian tour and have had the pleasure (or misfortune, depending on your point of view ) colliding with the harsh reality of the hostel consists of crazy people like me ;-)
With them and the girls have also organized a Venetian dinner of chicken salad.
Behind this salad is a long history of hours and hours of waiting to Coles (supermarket) to Kings Cross because the night after a certain time they bump into the chickens at a lower price for not throw them away ..
Too bad the clerk, seeing the vultures around, has seen fit not to apply the discount!:-D
Another great evening we went to the casino. . Vito, but mostly I waited a long moment.
you ask if I became a maniac of gambling ... Of course not, because we went there only to eat =)
fact, with $ 28 you can eat whatever I want as many times as you want until the restaurant does not close.
So me and the whole gang, including two new Italian boys Frederick and Christian fans of beetles, beetle and combinations and who want to make the tour of Australia with a combination - legendary - there are slings from 5.30 pm to avoid losing even a flat!:-D
girls eat .. I could not breathe for what I ate and Vito went to the bathroom three times before he had the weight just to ensure that the His legs support him ;-)
About eat, since travel to Australia is expensive in terms of energy, we have not even made a visit to the fish market fail to enjoy a tasty plate of mixed fish Fresh:-D
the evening after seeing Ale & Ale wanted to take pictures at night and the night before the storm of Queensland that has grazed too Syd did not make 'allowed, we went a bit' in turn around the Harbour to get a better view from all angles
Here we are at Milson Point, north of Sydney and is precisely the view from luna park
mrs Mcquarie chars where I had previously done other photos in early Australian
and then Darling Harbour
Apart from the evenings and a little 'shopping done with Vito since the latter was about to do the last shopping and spend all his money in Australia before his return to Italy, a note to deserves the chapter work.
This time the search was easier and less stressful the first time since I know the places to go and I know how to move but not for this was no less difficult.
After several curriculum left a bit 'all around Sydney, one day I drop the eye on the Australian pizzeria, which is just opposite the hostel.
Inside of me I thought, why not try it.
fact now I find myself working for Tony, the boss, who is a fool in every sense but very nice (among other things called fungi mushrooms and fungi because he knows that I hate when they write the menus in the Australians that way!) and Daniel English and he also manager of three pizzerias around the city (of course I do not work in the front of the hostel!:-S).
Dan made me understand a little 'how the work in Australian style.
The first night when I did the test (it was a Friday) because I still had not taken his hand at their own pace and on the other side of the counter was hell has seen fit to calm and reassure me, saying: "no worries mate. If You Want to take beer in the fridge! ":-S
Obviously if he took his own!
Then at least for now have been very friendly since I said I need to work long hours and give me more work some nights I can do to make the delivery driver, in practice I give the pizza delivery with a van in North Bondi. . Fantastico !!!:-)
To orient the tom tom that I use on the phone that has saved me many times both in Italy and here in Australia, but even if I have what is sometimes impossible to find the houses you know .. Why? Because those fucking Australians or forget to put the house, or write or small (for me this is the best) put it in the most hidden so that you can not find it!
Obviously the first delivery happened to me one thing that deserves to be told: Tony tells me a little 'how it works and gives me the keys and a bag that he forgets to tell me what it is (inside of me I thought that there were documents of the van.)
Anyway I head for the first delivery without any difficulty from the point of view orientation. Arrival, knock, and when the type is to give me the money ($ 50) and of course I had to pay the rest. Then I tell him that I can not leave the pizza without the money and convinces him to give me $ 50 but with the promise that I would return to his rest in pizza because it was close ..
He is convinced of it and go in the car there when I passed under the eye of the famous green bag .. I open and there I discover that there is money for the rest!
Then happily return as a clam to have escaped to a likely figure of them shit and the unthinkable happens. You know what the type when I give him his rest??
Having done waiting for the pizza and the rest, after convincing him to trust me on everything that has happened, I tip $ 5!:-S
In addition to Italy not to fuck have had the rest, it is difficult to have € 2 tip the pizza even though the ports of call after 5 minutes ..
Then in addition to these, sometimes in the morning I'm a delivery driver for a company that mounts Parque.
boss, a New Zealander who spent more than having a collection of no less than 5 years of the ford mustang 60 (actually it has only one full pay but a boy, kiwi too, that every morning he goes in the warehouse of the company where repaired piece by piece mustang!), had the brilliant idea to give me a truck (which I can drive it does not exceed the weight limit allowed by my driver's license) to move from place to place around the city blocks parque!
mean think about how these guys are crazy: give into the hands of a backpacker hostel in the morning recruited a chance for a truck to make deliveries in Sydney (which you can not understand what would be great!)
Fortunately, even this Once the tom tom has done its job, but it's not the point.
The point is that trust of people like those that can be found around the hostels, which have all but reliability ..
fact, among the fact that every time I work for them there is always something going wrong and that precisely why I find myself always late to go to a pizzeria, I find myself, in the end, always run with the truck to try to complete all deliveries.
And the best part is that the growing danger of losing the last load on the street because the straps do not stand up to protect the vibrations caused by my driving "sporty".
The last time I risked seriously that three blocks of the Parque went to finish in the middle of a road due to a curve taken "too" fast.
Fortunately protection bulkheads held up the load even if you do not know how they succeeded because the catches are almost all broken!:-D
Before concluding this post I will greet Luke is back in Italy since his year has already passed.
fact together with Chris (English boy of Italian origin) wanted to organize a mojito party to enliven the evening: what better occasion to organize it if nn last night for Luke so as to give it a bell'arrivederci and finally drive him out of the bales ???:- D
We feel for the next urban adventures this time ..;-)
