3 days of fun and excitement?

Friday.

Work was normal... then went out to meet friend from overseas... went to the chinatown and night market there... and then had dumplings for dinner. After that, we went our separate ways.

Saturday.

I am sick of sitting in a car all day... Got up at 8:30 to catch a train to Parramatta for 9:30 departure (via car) to the Blue Mountains. Except that there's no train to Parra. So had to catch the bus. Friend + companion came later.Fun bit was sitting in the car for 2 hours... we arrived at the Three Sisters at around 12. Spent around an hour or so. Then the friend wanted to go to the Jenolan Caves. Thats an extra 72km out from the 3 Sisters... which is already 120+ km out from Sydney.Extra hour in the car... We had lunch prior (some chicken wings) to departure... but we still ended up arriving there just before 3pm... After arrival, we parked up a really full carpark, and walked to the visitor's center... and found out that in order to see the caves actually cost $$! How much? $15 a cave. There's like 7 caves, but they run on different schedules... each cave runs for 1 or 1.5 hour tour... So, it being a saturday, and 3:00pm, we managed to catch the "Lucas" cave tour. Very amazing, that it has formed so long ago, and well, you'llhave to visit it to see what its all about. After all that, it was around 3 hours back to the city, cut down to around 2 hours (thanks to the highway). Something funny (to others) happened to me, and it was written on the friend's page... "回程ㄉ路上累極ㄌ 躺在朋友膝上 一路睡到sydney 可憐ㄉKEN 坐在前座 沒地方可以躺 睡到一半頭去敲到窗戶 醒ㄌ過來"... Sigh... poor me :P After that we went to a restraunt and had dinner. The friend had a itchy eye, so after that we dropped her off at a chemist with her friend, and I went home.

Sunday.

Got up late, colleague apparently got up late too. I arrived at the Rocks market at 12, after spending an hour on the train. Colleague arrived about 30 mins later, but in the city. He got up at 11:00 or something... Anyways, it was raining and I just walked around, wondering if I willsee them before I have to call them. And I did. So I suprised them... Sure, the Rocks market is a street's length, but there's well over 300 people there... So we finished walking around the Rocks, and the friend also had a friend which she met online. We were waiting for my colleague at Pier 2 at Circular Quay, and then we decided on where we were gonna go. In the end we decided on the fish market. Colleague parked somewhere around, and we got to the fish markets. Had lunch there, my shout. Afterall, they've been shouting me the previous 2 days...After the lunch, there were three options... Beach (bondi or coogee), Museum (not sure which one) or KTV. We ended up going to KTV. Even going to the KTV was hard, since it was a street that none of us were familiar with... even my colleague, who claims to know the city like the back of his hand...We sang for 3 hours (4 hours for $10... Plus a free drink! :P) and then everybody just was tired... After that, since the friend wanted to cook her crabs which she bought, we just went home. Kinda silly, isn't it... but she's probably that kind of person... want to cook food instead of eat out... :P

Anyways, that was 3 days worth of going out... pics will be up on wretch soon (and sorry there's no pic of the friend... just of the cave...):P
