Happy Valentine's Day!

It's been a couple of days since I last reported my activity.
Got my bank account, mobile and TFN sorted and spent the rest of the day walking around in the city.
I purchased a combo ticket 3 in 1 for Aquarium, Wildlife park and Sydney Tower for 70 dollars.
Visited Sydney Aquarium, got to see some cool sharks but overall I was not impressed with the size. I expected it to be bigger. Not sure what I expected to see there... whales??? Worth the visit anyway.
After I had bought the combo ticket I read from LP that there's a cheaper way to visit Sydney Tower - book a place in Moet & Chandon Bar and pay 26 dollars for a glass of champagne and 4 canapes. Should have read this beforehand!

Todays plan was to go to Manly beach but the weather didn't look promising after stepping out of the door, so I decided to spend my day around Opera House, Royal Botanic Gardens (which is situated right beside the Opera House) and Sydney Wildlife park.

What still amazes me is the fact that everything that is sold in the supermarket is either low fat or 97% fat free. It seems to be impossible to get a "normal" yogurt or "normal" ham. Everything is 97% fat free.
In the end I had to buy organic yogurt and there was only one flavour - vanilla!
I have started to finally apply for jobs yesterday and today. I got a call from one agency but they were looking for someone who could take the role permanently. Hard luck (maybe good luck since I don't feel like doing any work at all for now).
