early bird

Thanks to my moderate jet lag, I woke up at 7in the morning, not knowing it was 7am. I went to bed early yesterday at around 22h, so that is ok. Since most of the shops were closed I decided to buy some really good breakfast, fairly hungry since I missed dinner last night. But finding a supermarket in the city centre is usually not the easiest thing to do, especially when you don´t know the brands. So I checked out the convenient stores, small shops with usually overpriced goods, and in the third finally found some fruits that looked edible. As you can see, I have been really hungry ;-).
So at half past 7 (can you imagine? Me, up and walking that early in the morning!) I went to the hostel and – also untypical me – had a huge breakfast. Because today is tourist day! The weather forecast mentioned the number 30 with regard to temperature, the sky is already bright and blue and I will go sightseeing! Yay! Maybe I will pass by some second hand stores I found yesterday on Crown Street, but that is on the way ;-).
I never realized how popular Australia is among German High School Graduates. Half the hostel speaks German and all are around 18 years old and pretty excited about almost everything. So far, Sydney is not that different or alien. The inner city looks pretty much American with all its sky scrapers, though most the smaller shops are run by Asians selling usually low quality Chinese stuff. That is the most striking difference: the many Asians here. And not everyone speaking English is American.
Since the computers at the reception were down, this post will have to wait for its publication till later.
