Well I have applied for lots of jobs on the internet but most companies are not back at work yet, after the new year. There are tons of jobs for C# developers here and they need people urgently.  I did read an article in the paper though about there being loads of jobs in Sydney but no accomodation.. this is just media hype right?

We are out of the hostel now which was the size of a portaloo and have moved into a room above a gay pub, The Sly Fox and they are all gay and lesbians which live above the pub.  It is really friendly here and everyone is great, although when I asked if there was any bike clubs around Sydney, I got directed to "Dykes on Bikes".  Downstairs in the pub they have an womens night (where I got a few chat up lines) and have big glasses on the bar which are for tips.  They have a big boob floating in it with a sign saying "Show us your Tips!!"

The owners of the pub, Paul and Arlene are lovely people and also own a pub down the road called the Imperial.  For those of you who have watched Precilla Queen of the Desert, this is the pub where the coach sets off from.  So we got to watch the origional Precilla show.  I still don't know where those drag queens hide their bits!!

It is really hot here now and there is no fan in our room.  It is too hot to sleep and the planes fly right past our window, so near that you can literally see the passengers.  Well, it will be better when we find somewhere else to live...  we are looking.
