Day 3: The day of the apartments

I woke up bright and early to go visit two apartments I had scheduled to go check out. Both apartments are in Pyrmont, which is really a great location for where I want to be. The first apartment was slightly disheveled, but only in the way that means its being lived in. It was clean at least and there is laundry inside the apartment :) I would be sharing the room with one other girl and the apartment with her and two other boys. It by far had the best location of all the apartments I was going to look at and it also has a small gym and pool inside the complex which is kind of a nice bonus. Basically this apartment was mine for the taking - if I wanted it then it was mine. My possible roomie, Yalin, is super nice and she works the night shift at a Bakery, so I'd basically have the room to myself daily from 5pm-2am which would be cool. After, I wandered to a local coffee shop right near her place and ordered a Chai Latte and a lemon chicken sandwich. Both were delish and right as I got there was when they began showing news coverage of the horrible 6.3 earthquake in Christ Church. I sat in the shop for almost an hour and a half watching the coverage. It's so terrible how much damage was caused and how many people were killed and are currently still missing. Australia and New Zealand have experienced so many natural disasters recently, its so sad. They need a break from disaster after disaster. After about an hour and a half it was time for me to find the second place I was touring. This place was gorgeous. It was basically a large row-house with 6-7 people living in it. The room I would be staying in I would share with 3 other people, one girl and two boys, but DENG the house was hella modern and clean and tidy. The owner, Phillipe showed me around and I met a few of the current house guests. They were all nice people and I really enjoyed the place. When I returned back to the hostel I was extremely tired so I took some time to just chill and read a bit on my kindle. That bit of rest turned into a nap which turned into sleeping for the night... but a bit of extra sleep was probably what I needed.
