After a murderously long wait for my visa, I finally made it to Sydney last night, and am currently (and temporarily) living in an apartment in Pyrmont arranged by my company until I find a place of my own.

Once again, thanks a lot for the help you guys have given. Hope we meet in Sydney soon.

Thanks. I was lucky enough to briefly check out the festivities at Darling Harbour and the spectacular fireworks over the Harbour on Saturday. Didnt have the energy to go out after spending an hour wandering the streets of Sydney, getting lost somewhere between the CBD and Pyrmont. I was also able to make it to the Big Day Out in Melbourne!
